We're Round Corner Brewing, and we've just been named International Beer Challenge Brewer of the Year, UK 2026.

Every beer we entered came home with a medal. Steeplechase, 10 Hours in L.A. and Frisby Lager all took Gold. Drovers and Hopping Spree took Bronze. Five for five, brewed and packaged right here in Melton Mowbray.

Colin Paige, Co-Founder & MD:

"To enter five beers and see every one come home with a medal is an extraordinary result for our team. Three Golds would have made us immensely proud on their own; to be named Brewer of the Year: UK makes this a landmark moment for Round Corner and for everyone in Melton who has supported us."

Head Brewer, Lara Lopes:

“What makes this result particularly rewarding is that the five medals span a real mix of styles. From lager and pale ale to IPA, it's recognition of the work that goes into every beer we brew. There are a lot of people behind each one, from development and brewing through to packaging, pouring and getting the beer out into the world; so this belongs to the whole team.”
