Thwaites and Charles Wells among nominees for International Beer Awards
The nominees include Charles Wells, which is in the running for Best Brewery Partnership after teaming up with Dogfish Head Craft Brewery of Milton, Delaware, USA, to produce DNA New World and Old World IPA.
Thwaites also gets the nod in the Label of the Year category for its Crafty Dan range, while Carlsberg UK has been nominated for best new product launch for Carlsberg Citrus.
The International Beer Awards are organised by Arena International and recognise the very best beer and beer brand styles. The winner will be announced at the Beer Strategies Conference in Rome on 13 May.
