An Eumemmerring-based boutique brewery has tasted success over some of the world’s biggest brewers.
Brownstone Micro Brewery – which is part of Atura Dandenong – won gold, silver and bronze at the Australian International Beer Awards.
Its gold-winning brew was the Doveton IPA in the best new world-style pale ale category.
Doveton Stout won silver in the sweet stout category, and Doveton Lager bronze for the European-style lager section.
The beverages were crafted by master brewer Steve ‘Hendo’ Henderson and Matt John.
The awards conducted by the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria are said to be the largest beer competition in the world, with 2500 entries from 400 breweries in 21 countries.
