June 5th, 2022Cheers to beers

Hepburn Springs Brewing Co has taken home two awards from the 2022 Melbourne Royal Australian International Beer Awards.
The awards are the world’s largest annual beer competition, judging both draught and packaged beer – with 2634 entries from 355 breweries.
Hepburn Springs Brewing Co owner Nick Galik said he was thrilled with the gongs – a gold medal for his Hefeweizen (wheat beer) and a bronze medal for his Pilsner (Bohemian Pilsner).
Nick and his wife Helen started the company about five years ago. Nick did a master brewers’ course and started to focus on the beer. His approach to brewing is refreshingly simple: he compares it to cake making. He has a recipe.
Last year Nick entered the 2020 Independent Brewers Association national competition with his pale ale pilsner with judging online, thanks to Covid.
The whole family was together when up came a national gold medal for Nick’s lager.
