A Tecumseh brewery is being recognized nationally for its oatmeal stout.
FRANK Brewing Co., which has only been around for a couple of years, took home gold in the category at the 15th annual Canadian Brewing Awards for its 'Simple Man' brew.
Breweries of all sizes competed in a Beer Judge Certification Program sanctioned blind tasting, determining the best beers and ciders in over 60 style categories. The awards and brewing conference were held in Ottawa from May 25 to 27.
"It's great to be recognized for our beers," said the founder of FRANK Brewing Co. Shane Meloche.
"Having also recently won bronze for our Honey Habanero Spicy Ale in the Ontario Brewing Awards, we are incredibly proud of [Head Brewer] Brad [Wright] for his dedication to experimenting with new ingredients while sticking true to the traditional craftsmanship of brewing," he added.
Meloche said it took Wright 12 months to perfect the 'Simple Man' oatmeal stout.
