Warwickshire brewery, Purity Brewing co is toasting its latest success after being awarded the CAMRA Champion Beer of the West Midlands 2008.

Its Pure Gold ale won the latest accolade. At 3.8% ABV, this refreshing golden ale, made with premium quality English Maris Otter Malt and East Kent Golding and Styrian Golding Hops, creates a smooth, easy drinking beer with a subtle citrus flavour and is a firm favourite amongst ale drinkers.

Nik Antona, Regional Director from CAMRA comments: "In these times of economic crisis, Real Ale is continuing to show an increase in popularity with real ale breweries and pubs reporting increases in sales up to 20%. We are fortunate in the West Midlands to have a multitude of quality real ale breweries and none more deserving than Purity who were informed at the BBC Good Food show that they had won the CAMRA award."

Paul Halsey, Managing Director at Purity Brewing Co comments: "Our Pure Gold has not only gathered a fan base amongst existing ale drinkers, but also attracted a lot of new fans who were previously lager drinkers. We are very proud to have won this latest award, it is a real testament to the hard work of the team. Creating ales of true premium quality has really put Purity Brewing Co on the radar for drinkers looking for innovation."

Pure Gold became a contender for the Champion Beer of the West Midlands competition when it was awarded the Champion Bitter of the West Midlands at the Birmingham CAMRA Beer festival and will now go through to the national competition, which will be held at the CAMRA Great British Beer festival (4-8 August 2009), when it will be judged with other regional contenders to determine the CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain 2009.
