Winner: Twisted Barrel Ale

Based at FarGo Village in Coventry, Twisted Barrel Ale produces a wide range of vegan craft beers, including pale ales, saisons and Belgian tripels.

In line with its vegan ethics, the firm uses no animal products within its manufacturing processes.

Launched in 2014, the company continues to expand and has adapted its processes to suit.

Along with expanding its brewing capabilities, in 2015 it opened a tap house where drinkers can enjoy Twisted Barrel Ale on tap.

Co-founder and head brewer Ritchie Bosworth said: “I really wasn’t expecting it.

“It is nice winning an award for manufacturing.

“Beer doesn’t feel like manufacturing, so it is a bit of a strange one for us, but we’re overjoyed.”

Fellow Twisted Barrel co-founder Chris Cooper said: “We came here for a night out and didn’t think there was any chance we might win.”
