It has also earned multiple awards and medals in competitions like the U.S. Open Beer Championship and other national events.
The awards process involves a panel of industry experts nominating favorites across various categories. Editors then review these to create a shortlist, followed by four weeks of public voting. For details on upcoming entertainment at Twin Oast, the brewery's website provides schedules.
