Luxembourg’s Ramborn Cider Company is toasting the bronze medal their Original Medium Dry Cider picked up for this year’s International Cider Awards.
Informally known as the ‘Oscars of the brewing and cider making industry’, the International Brewing Awards and International Cider Awards are one of the biggest competitions in the industry, which this year saw tough competition from 187 breweries and 53 cider mills from over 50 countries, taking in everything from regional micros to multi-national companies.
Forty-five judges, including six cider judges, from 16 different countries on six continents were obliged to taste the 982 beers and 139 ciders before deciding on the medal winners.
Ramborn said they were proud to be ranked among other medal-winning cider-makers including Angry Orchard (USA) and Zeffer Cider Co. (NZ). The medal puts them in companywith some of the world’s most renowned craft brands, including American favourites Sierra Nevada and Firestone Walker, and the UK brewers Thornbridge and Camden Town.
“Being recognised by such an important industry competition confirms that our Luxembourgish cider is up there among the best craft beverages in the world.” said head of marketing, Adie Kaye. “This medal will help us to continue growing the cider category here in Luxembourg, and to share our award-winning cider with the world, celebrating what is arguably Luxembourg’s most precious natural resource: the traditional apple tree.”
Presentation of the medals will be held at Guildhall in London on Wednesday, 26th April 2017.
