Product Information

Experienced amateurs and experts from around the world taste and judge the beers together. We believe this is exactly what distinguishes the Frankfurt International Beer Trophy and makes it so specific, as this reveals what consumers really think. The European Beer Challenge is operated by the Largest Beverage Awards Organisation in the world including CWSA & Women’s Wine & Spirits Awards. The European Beer Challenge is Judged by Europe’s Leading Beer Buyers and offers brands and producers the opportunity to showcase their products to key influencers in the Beer market. This Pilsner style lager was first brewed in 1882 by two German immigrant Brewers. The town has an exceptional brewing history that we’ll cover in a separate post, at it’s peak Wrexham was probably second only to Burton on Trent. It’s even said that Wrexham lager was served on the RMS Titanic as it had a reputation for travelling well. Karl Phillips, better known as Bootlegger has certainly played his part in elevating the fortunes of the club currently undergoing the Hollywood treatment.

You can even request a video message from The Captain, as he’s known to his army of fans, via the Cameo platform.Over the years, he's become a cult hero through his matchday vlogs and videos of him sinking pints while coining iconic phrases such as “I’ve had an absolute grueller” and “It’s gonna get tasty baby”.

This new brewery is in the heart of Wrexham town centre and was built by the world’s leading brewer, Kaspar Schulz of Bamberg, the world’s oldest brewery. For 340 years, the company has built breweries, and it is well known for its quality work and the quality of the facilities it builds. Who Makes Bootlegger Beer? The aim for the IBC is to reward and promote excellent beers from around the globe providing brewers with a platform to express their beers to trade and consumers. http://www.wrexham.com/news/bootlegger-lager-officially-tasty-baby-wrexham-lager-win-two-gold-medals-at-international-awards-189413.html The Asia Beer Challenge is held annually in Hong Kong.

In 2020, the competition organised the tasting of 7,780 samples from 41 countries. Since its creation the competition has showcased millions of bottles with its famous medals. If I was giving a score out of ten this would be around an eight or nine. To give you a comparison most bottled lagers, by InBev and the like, would come in at no more than a five, even Brewdog’s Lost Lager or Kingpin would only get a seven. I’d love a 500ml bottled version of the 4%abv beer though, I think this would be a rival to Fruh Kolsch as my favourite lager. I recommend you get on the train from wherever you live, come to sunny North Wales and get it on draught. It will be worth it.
