Briarbank Brewery, in Fore Street in Ipswich, won two awards at this year's SIBA East Independent Beer Awards on September 22.

Robert Lewis-Pyle, head brewer at the Briarbank, said: "I'm delighted to have picked up yet another two awards.

"Like with previous years, the quality of beer from other local brewers is very high, and to have collected not one but two awards is just amazing."

The award wins are just some of the achievements Briarbank Brewery is celebrating this year.

Earlier this year it celebrated its tenth birthday and refreshed the brand to include a new logo design and switch from bottles to cans.
