Well, what a @gabsfestival H100 countdown that was!

To everybody who came down and packed the brewery in support on Saturday, thank you. The vibe was electric. To everybody who gave us a vote and allowed us to clog up your feeds with vote spam, thank you (you can unmute us now 😊).

To S&W, we send a massive congratulations on getting back to Number 1 and for rounding out 10 years on the podium. What an achievement.

To Rich, Tracy and the Bentspoke family, we salute you as our friends and some of the finest brewers in the land and world.

Congrats to Craig and @GABSfestival team for the ever-growing interest this activation brings to the good beer movement.

It’s got to be said, these poll results meant a lot to us. You showed an unwavering support for Balter delivering our best ever results which demonstrated that good beer is more important to you than all the other rhetoric. Thank you, and we promise there’s more where that came from : )
