Ellerslie Australia and Lallemand Support Two Trophies

Ellerslie Australia has been growing hops in Victoria for over 85 years, along with being the proud distribution partner of Coopers Australian Malts. This year, along with premium yeast partner Lallemand Australia, it is sponsoring two awards at the 2020 Independent Beer Awards: Service to the Industry Award, and the Champion Hybrid Beer Trophy.

Managing Director, Greg Croke, says they are excited to be on board as a sponsor this year. “Congratulations to all of the brewers that have entered the Indies this year. 2020 has been a tough year for all of us and we couldn’t be happier to be a part of such a wonderful event that not only brings our entire industry together but showcases the very best of it,” Croke says. “I have nothing but admiration for the way brewers literally adapted overnight to accommodate the changes to our hospitality industry this year. I don’t know any other industry that collaborates and supports each other the way ours does.”

In addition to presenting the Service to the Industry award, Ellerslie and Lallemand will present the Champion Hybrid Beer Trophy and will provide the winner with one tonne of Coopers malt, 60kg of T90 hops and 10kg of Lallemand yeast.
