We've worked long and hard to ensure that our beer is as good as it can be and that our pub provides an unrivalled experience with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. It's great to see from the awards we've won that this hard work is starting to pay off.
Director, John Evans, was the proud recipient of a Bronze award at the Weetabix Northamptonshire Food & Drink Awards 2024/25 in the category 'F&B (Food & Beverage) Achiever of the Year'. This category is designed to recognise a person who has made and/or continues to make a significant contribution to the sector.
Steam Ale did it once again at the SIBA Independent Beer Awards for the Midlands region in October, winning a Bronze award in the category Cask Pale Ale. These awards seek to highlight the very best beers in the UK in a huge range of styles, strengths and flavours, and are seen very much as the ‘brewers’ choice awards.
The Northampton County Beer Festival at Becket's Park in May delivered us not one, not two, but three awards from CAMRA Northamptonshire! At the beer festival, Steam Ale won the Premium Bitter category, Black Fire the Strong Stout category and Steam Ale was crowned overall Champion Beer of the Festival.
Our latest award from the Northamptonshire CAMRA branch - Town Pub of the Year 2024! The pubs judged were all in the current Good Beer Guide for the county and the shortlisted pubs were either previously voted as Pub of the Season or were high-scoring pubs using the National Beer Scoring Scheme.
Steam Ale won again - and this time a much coveted highly prized one star from the Great Taste Awards for our already multi-award winning beer! This is the first Great Taste award we have won and you will soon see the prestigious black and gold Great Taste badge of honour on all our bottles of Steam Ale.
CAMRA Northamptonshire came to award us 'Spring Town Pub of the Season' as voted for by CAMRA members! CAMRA members were asked to consider beer quality, the service and welcome, community focus, cleanliness and other factors which encouraged them to make a repeat visit.
Black Fire won not just one but two accolades at the Northampton County Beer Festival at Becket's Park - the 'Strong Stout 5% and above' category and the 'Overall Festival Winner'! This is the first time Black Fire has taken first place, following on from its second place at last year's festival (see right).
Following the Northampton County Beer Festival at Becket's Park in June this year, Steam Ale was awarded first place in the Premium Bitters category! Our Black Fire came second in the Strong Stouts and Porters category and our Roman Road came third in the Premium Pale Ales category.
Roman Road scooped its first award with a Bronze in SIBA's Midlands Independent Beer Awards 2022 in the category Cask Pale Ale. The Awards judge a huge range of beers across a number of styles in separate cask and keg competitions so it's a result we're totally delighted with!
Steam Ale took home the Gold award - our first Gold SIBA Award - in the category of Cask Premium Bitters at the SIBA Midlands Independent Beer Awards in Nottingham. Director, John Evans, received the award alongside brewer, Phil Ayers.
Crowned the Gold Winner in the category Artisan Local Drink of the Year at the Weetabix Northamptonshire Food & Drink Awards 2021/22 for Steam Ale! Director, John Evans, received the Gold award from HM Lord Lieutenant of Northamptonshire, James Saunders Watson.
