County Durham based craft brewer, McColl’s Brewery has been named among the top food and drink producers globally this year, picking up a highly prized 2-star Great Taste award for its Mellow Session IPA.
13,672 products were put through the competition’s rigorous blind judging process; and McColl’s Brewery was dubbed a “a real powerhouse” at the world’s most coveted food and drink awards. Only 1,386 were awarded a Great Taste 2-star – ‘above and beyond delicious’.
Described as “Hop-forward with some truly punchy tropical flavours”, this easy drinking IPA was a big hit with the Great Taste judges.
Made with the finest Golden Promise malt and Citra hops, Mellow Session IPA was one of 5,590 products to receive a Great Taste award in 2024 (which is only 40.8% of the total products entered).
Danny McColl from McColl’s Brewery comments: “We are thrilled to have won a Great Taste award for our Mellow Session IPA. The award means a lot to us and are so proud to be adding the prestigious black and gold Great Taste badge of honour to our IPA.”
“Being recognised with a Great Taste 2-star means so much to independent producers such as ourselves, as it makes all the hard work and determination worth it! Great Taste is the most recognised accolade for taste and quality in the food and drink industry, so it’s a huge moment for us! Danny McColl concludes.
