Aspen Brewing Company’s This Season’s Blonde & Independence Pass Ale have won silver and bronze awards, respectively in the English Summer Ale & English IPA categories, at the 2017 International Beer Challenge in London.  

'More than 700 beers from 30 countries entered the competition, which celebrates its 20th year this year. The beers were judged by UK beer experts including: retailers, importers, publicans, brewers, writers and flavour analysts. Each brew was tasted blind by the expert panel and medals were awarded to the exceptional entries. Chairman of the judges Jeff Evans said: "Having been chairman of the judges for 15 years, it's great to see the competition continue to grow and to welcome entries this time from more than 30 countries. It proves that the IBC is a truly international competition that is respected around the world, thanks in many ways to the knowledge, expertise and integrity of our brilliant judges, who come from right across the brewing industry. They always make sure that any medal is hard won and fully deserved – there are no handouts in this competition – and so I congratulate all the medallists and particularly the 46 gold medallists who really shone."'
