Global craft beer brand Goose Island has been recognized for its taste and quality by winning 15 awards at the Australian International Beer Awards (AIBA).

Goose Island's 'Quadrupel' and 'Life Is Bittersweet Sour,' awarded gold medals at the Australian International Beer Awards (AIBA)

Goose Island announced on the 12th that it earned a total of 15 awards at the Australian International Beer Awards, including 2 gold medals, 5 silver medals, and 8 bronze medals.

The gold medal-winning beers were Goose Island’s ‘Life is Bittersweet Sour’ and ‘Quadrupel.’ These two beers won in the ‘Herb and Spice Beer’ and ‘Belgian Style Quadrupel’ categories, respectively. Life is Bittersweet Sour is a sour ale inspired by refreshing lemon honey tea, blending lemon, ginger, and honey, while Quadrupel is a Belgian-style beer originating from medieval monasteries, featuring caramel, dried plum, banana, and clove for a rich flavor.

Five craft beers, including ‘Coconut Stout,’ ‘Tripel,’ and ‘Mooyaho,’ won silver medals, and eight beers, including ‘Magic Hour’ and ‘All That Pils,’ received bronze medals. Magic Hour and Coconut Stout previously won gold and bronze medals, respectively, at last year’s International Beer Cup (IBC).

Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the Australian International Beer Awards is regarded as one of the world’s top four beer competitions alongside the World Beer Cup (WBC) in the United States, the European Beer Star (EBS) in Germany, and the International Beer Cup (IBC). This year, over 400 breweries submitted more than 2,800 beers, making the competition highly competitive.

A Goose Island representative said, “We are pleased that Goose Island beers have been recognized for their excellent taste and quality at the prestigious Australian International Beer Awards,” adding, “We will continue to provide consumers with the finest craft beers based on superior brewing techniques and outstanding quality control.”
