Stone Dead won the silver medal in the ‘Porters, Strong Milds, Old Ales & Stouts’ category. It was pipped to the post by Chiltern Brewery’s 300s Old Ale. Beers were judged in eight categories and were blind-tasted by a panel of experts and beer lovers. The competition was held at the Nottingham Robin Hood Beer Festival, which runs until Sunday.
