The Paper Mill in Lasswade has been announced as a finalist for the Molson Coors Champion Beer Pub of Scotland prize at the 2014 DRAM Scottish Licensed Trade Awards, which take place at The Grand Central Hotel in Glasgow on Monday July 7th.
The Molson Coors Champion Beer Pub of Scotland award seeks to to recognise a pub that really champions good beer and offers an excellent craft range. Each of the finalists pride themselves on being one of Scotland’s top beer pubs, actively promote responsible beer consumption and regularly introduce new craft beer for their customers. A good cellar and well trained staff were deemed necessary by our judges for this award.
The Paper Mill truly prides itself as a craft beer destination, featuring an ever changing selection of craft and world beers. The pub even has its own beer, exclusively brewed by Stewart Brewing Brew Kitchen. The Paper Mill’s annual craft beer festivals have also been a tremendous success, with this year’s festival hosting over 40 beers by independent brewers. An extensive staff training system is in place, with particular emphasis on cellar maintenance.
The awards, dubbed the licensed trade ‘Oscars,’ are organised by licensed trade magazine, DRAM. Now in their 19th year, they are the longest-established awards of their kind in Scotland, recognising excellence in Scotland’s bar, restaurant and hospitality industries.
