The “Proper Job” beer from the Cornish brewery St. Austell has been named as one of the top 10 craft beers around the world by the UK’s respected Telegraph newspaper. This comes only a few weeks after another great beer from St. Austell – the “Big Job” – was named ‘Supreme National Champion Bottled Beer’ at the SIBA beer awards.

SIBA is the Society of Independent Brewers which is the Trade Organisation of over 800 independent brewers in the UK, large and small, who represent the best of British Brewing.  Big Job won against 150 beers at the finals of the beer tasting but there were many hundreds more that were tasted regionally before the finals.

“These accolades are a clear recognition of the excellent qualities of St Austell beers,” commented Pierre Stafrace, General Manager of Farsons Beverage Imports Company Limited (FBIC) which represents St Austell in Malta. “We are very proud to bring to Malta’s appreciative beer consumers the range of St Austell beers, which includes Admiral’s Ale, Tribute and Tribute Extra, apart from Proper Job and Big Job”.

St Austell beers are available at Farsonsdirect in Mriehel and in selected bars in Malta and Gozo.

FBIC is a member of the Farsons Group.
