ALCESTER-based business Purity Brewing Company has received national recognition for its products.
The company was named Sustainable Manufacturer of the Year at the Made in the UK Awards.
The award recognised that the company demonstrated the greatest commitment to reducing the impact of manufacturing on the environment.
Purity use a unique wetland system, where waste water is filtered and returned clean to the local river and whilst most brewers use five pints of water for every beer it only uses three.
Other initiatives include spent grains used as feed for the cattle on local farms and spent hops used as fertiliser.
Managing director Paul Halsey said: “At Purity, we strive daily to further improve our sustainability measures, always with the quality of the beer and the love of the craft at the forefront of our minds.
“To win this national award makes us very proud and it’s a great feeling to be representing the Midlands in sustainable manufacturing.”
An awards ceremony took place at St George’s Hall in Liverpool recently.
