The Australian International Beer Awards (AIBA) were held on May 17th in Melbourne, with 26 Kiwi brews awarded a Gold Medal.
The event is the world’s largest beer competition, with 3,000 entries from 400 exhibitors across 21 countries.
Garage Project Brewery picked up 15 AIBA awards, including Champion Large International Brewery, and Champion International Beer for its Chance, Luck & Magic 2021.
Chance, Luck & Magic also won a trophy in the Belgian & French Ale category and Garage Project’s other Gold Medal-winning beers include Pernicious Weed, Pickle Beer and White Mischief.
“Winning back-to-back Champion Large Brewery trophies is a real testament to the quality and consistency of the Garage Project brewery team”, says Garage Project Co-Founder, Pete Gillespie.
