Propeller Brewing Co. in Halifax, NS recently notified me of their recent haul of gold medals at the latest World Beer Championships.India Pale Ale - Gold
Extra Special Bitter - Gold
Pale Ale - Gold
London Style Porter - Gold (late last year)
That makes 3 gold medals in a row for the IPA and the ESB, both outstanding beers and favourites of mine that I miss dearly here in Ontario. I think that everyone who enjoys 'good' beer and has had the pleasure of sampling some of Propeller's products would agree on their consistency, and these recent medals prove that John Allen and co. know what their doing.
After reading Josh Rubin's article in the Toronto Star today about Fuller's Director of Brewing, John Keeling, and his rating of Ontario pale ales, I'm thinking he would love Propeller's British style ales (it was great to see Keeling loved the Black Oak Pale Ale).
