There are plenty of cheers around Bankstown Sports after their popular Basement Brewhouse pale ale took out the bronze medal at the 2019 Sydney Royal Beer and Cider Show.
The pale ale is a big hit with guests at the club, with Bankstown Sports head brewer Mark Neal saying it is very drinkable.
“We are really proud to have claimed a bronze,” Mr Neal said.
“We were up against some pretty popular beers from some well-known breweries, and it’s great that we get to showcase our unique flavours and styles among some of the best.
“Even if you aren’t a huge fan of beer, it’s quite light and fresh, and the flavours aren’t too overpowering, which makes it quite easy on the palate.”
The Basement Brewhouse beverage competed in Class 6 — Pales Ales — Australian Style, and went up against 10 entries from well known breweries, including Tooheys and J.
Boag and Son Brewing, Australian Brewery, Woolshed Brewery and Tribe Breweries.
Hope Brewery and Vale Brewing won gold in the category, Australian Brewery landed silver. And the Basement Brewhouse took out the bronze with Tribe Breweries.
“It was a varied class with some great beers,” the judges said.
“The best examples showed great malt and hop balance, and drinkability.”
Basement Brewhouse’s pale ale is available on tap and in cans at the club and is also available to take away in 1.89L growlers or 24-pack cans.
