“Champion Large International Brewery is an honour for us and the result of brilliant innovation and commitment to quality from our brewers,” he said. “I’m so proud of the hard work they put in to create great beers, and not just in one category. In the results I can see that we’ve excelled in everything from craft beers, to premium, to mainstream. I know this is extremely well deserved.
