Mount Brewing Co is absolutely buzzing after their beer ‘Golden Hour' has enjoyed a winning streak in not one, but two beer awards this month.

Having entered their Hazy into New World's Beer and Cider Awards, which judge more than 700 entries from across New Zealand and the world, Mount Brewing Co is extremely proud to make the Top 30 list.
'We're honestly so stoked – it's our first beer in the Top 30…it's also really cool because there was more than 130 Hazys entered and I think only three got in the Top 30,” says Mount Brewing Co creative director Briar Meikle.

Right on the back of this, the brewery also received seven awards for each of the beers they entered in the Australian International Beer Awards, with Golden Hour receiving gold!

'We thought we'd just get some feedback – we weren't expecting to win anything,” says Briar.

With 4.7 per cent Alcohol By Volume content, Briar says Golden Hour is an 'entry level hazy”.
'If you're not really into craft beer it's not super hoppy, it's not super crazy – it's still very ‘sessionable', easy drinking, and has a few tropical flavours in there like coconut, pineapple and lemongrass.”

Making the Top 30 means that Golden Hour will be in New World stores across New Zealand for the next four weeks. As the taproom and bar to the family-owned brewery, you can also enjoy a glass of Golden Hour with friends and whanau at The Rising Tide.

'We've got 39 taps…Golden Hour's on tap number 10,” says Briar.
