2012 Competition Winners

Congratulations to all the winners of the 2012 competition!

Once again we ran both an Ales, Lagers & Ciders competition together with a Waters & Soft Drinks competition and were very impressed by the range and quality of entries.

Appearance, taste, packaging, label design - every element was at an extraordinarily high level making this year's competition very tough to decide the winners. However there had to be winners and these are listed below:
