COW JUICE BEER WINS GOLD GREAT TASTE AWARD
Croots Farm Shop in Derbyshire has scooped a One Star Gold Great Taste Award for its Cow Juice Beer.
The awards run by the Guild of Fine Food, are regarded as the Oscars of the food and drink industry.
Cow Juice is one of four farmyard beers designed by Steve Croot, who runs the farm shop at Farnah House Farm, Wirksworth Road, Duffield.
It is the first accolade won by the ale, which is produced for Croots Farm Shop by Derbyshire brewery Nutbrook.
Steve Croot said:
“We created our farmyard range of beers last year as part of our regional ale section, and they’ve all been very popular.”
It’s fantastic news that the Cow Juice Beer has won such a prestigious award as a one star gold Great Taste Award. It’s a lovely ale and goes down well with our customers.”
Cow Juice (6%) is brewed in a traditional way using sugars also found in milk, which gives a full-bodied, thicker taste. With familiar roasted stout flavours, it has a warm soothing flavour.
The other beers in the Croots farmyard range are Pig in a Bottle, a 4.5%, Ewe Drink, a sweet beer with a golden colour at 3.6% and Croots Shire Ale, a strong brew at 6.2%.
A fifth beer in the range, which will be given a rooster theme, is currently being developed by Croots in conjunction with West Hallam-based Nutbrook Brewery. Croots sells around 1,200 bottles of Nutbrook beer every month.
Last year Croots won a Gold Star Great Taste Award for its Black Pudding Sausage. The Cow Juice Beer was one of only twenty three bottled beers to receive a gold star rating in the 2010 Great Taste Awards.
The farmyard beers cost £2.45 per bottle, for more information click here to visit the website.
