Heads beer wins gold

Heads of Noosa Brewing Co. was recognised for its beers by the Australian International Beer Awards (AIBA) last Thursday night with its Japanese Lager, Summer Dusk, Bock and Pilsner all picking up medals and the Summer Dusk winning gold.

Heads of Noosa has only been operating since January this year and has already picked up a slew of medals in both their outings to date. Heads of Noosa are one of the newest additions to an emerging craft beer scene on the Sunshine Coast of Australia. Their main point of difference to date is that they have exclusively brewed lagers and it seems to be working for them.

Heads of Noosa founders Lance and Craig Masterton said it was exciting to have their beers being so well received not only by the public but by professional beer judges.

“Flying the flag for beer in Noosa is an honour and we hope to continue building the beer scene in our backyard and the whole region. We’re lucky to have a really strong beer scene around us on the Sunny Coast and we all push each other to be better and to grow market share for independent craft beer together,” Craig said.

“As a brewer there’s no better feeling than getting positive feedback on your brews, whether it’s a new customer in the Taproom or via international beer awards. To have all four of our entries pick up a medal, including a gold, says we’re doing something right,” Lance said.
