Icelandic beer wins top award

Iceland’s Sólveig Nr. 25 beer, produced by Borg Brugghús, has been voted Europe’s Best Strong Wheat Beer at the 2015 WBA World Beer Awards.

A group of judges led by leading beer expert Roger Protz tasted – blindfold – a selection of beers from all over the world and scored them on their various characteristics.

According to master brewer at Borg Brugghús Valgeir Valgeirsson, the award has already led to enquiries from foreign importers. Valgeirsson expects the beer to be exported when production restarts next spring.
