Welsh brewery Magic Dragon has Great Taste

Magic Dragon Brewing, based just outside Wrexham, North Wales, has had great success in the Great Taste awards 2022.

Four bottled beers from the brewery won an award including 2 Stars for their Eyton Gold (4% ABV). Out of 14,205 entries only 1,237 products received a 2 Star award which means that the beer is outstanding.

The judges described the beer as “well balanced, well presented and an elegant golden ale. The honey noted are equalled by the finesse of grassy floral flavours making for a satisfying finish”. The award-winning beer was served at the World Cheese Awards dinner last year, an event that brings together cheesemakers, retailers, buyers and food commentators worldwide to judge over 4,000 cheeses from over 40 countries. In 2022 it was held at the International Convention Centre in Newport, South Wales.

Magic Dragon’s Old Magic (3.6% ABV) dark mild and Border Bitter (3.8% ABV) also won 1 Star in the competition.

Liz Lever from Magic Dragon Brewing said: "We are delighted to have won a 2 Star Great Taste Award for our golden ale and a Star each for our mild and bitter. I am so proud to be adding the iconic black and gold Great Taste logo to our bottled beers."
