Adelaide Hills beer named best in the world
THE expansion strategy of a boutique brewer in South Australia has received a massive boost after its India Red Ale was named the best beer in the world.
Prancing Pony Brewery’s 7.9 per cent abv India Red Ale has this week been awarded the Supreme Champion prize at the International Beer Challenge in London after claiming the Trophy for Best Ale Above 5 per cent abv.
The timing is impeccable for the brewery located at Totness in the Adelaide Hills as it comes just months after it installed a 30-hectolitre BrauKon brewhouse, which has enabled it to boost production to up to 3 million litres a year – 20 times its previous capacity.
“Yesterday the India Red was free for all the customers who came in – we were a bit over the moon,” Prancing Pony CEO Corinna Steeb said.
“We were brewing India Red yesterday incidentally so it was very befitting and we just made a double batch straight away so we could cope with some of the increase in demand that the beer will probably have over the next couple of months.”
The India Red Ale is based on ‘American Imperial Double Red Ale’ according to the British Ale Style Guide. With a dark red brownish colour, a firm creamy head and lots of fruity aromas on the nose, it has a big, malty body with late bitterness.
It was the first time Prancing Pony had entered the International Beer Challenge where its stablemate Black Ale collected a silver medal.
