Big-A-4pk-lorez-Silouh-smAugust, 2010 - Smuttynose Big A IPA Wins CAMRA's 2010 Michael Jackson Award at the Great British Beer FestivalFrom CAMRA's press release:

"The Great British Beer Festival is today pleased to announce that the winner of its annual American cask real ale competition, the Michael Jackson Award, is the Smuttynose brewery's Big A IPA, from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The competition is judged during CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale's flagship event, taking place inside Earls Court, London, from August 3rd-7th 2010. 

Smuttynose's Big A IPA, a 9.7% ABV India Pale Ale, is described by CAMRA's US bar team as having an 'orange and citrus fruit, with a nicely balanced body, a hint of malt and a bunch of alcohol, and perhaps a hint of honey. The beer ends nicely with a lingering hop dryness'. 

Smuttynose's success today means the New England brewery has now won this award three times, and remains one of the most successful brewers in the competition's history."
