The top-rated beers in New Zealand, as voted by the community of rating website Untappd, have been named with Sprig + Fern represented by two of their best-selling brews.
In the inaugural Untappd Community Awards, Sprig + Fern’s Tasman Reserve Premium Lager was the second highest ranked beer in the Lager – Strong category in 2023, with The G.O.A.T Doppelbock third in the Bock – Doppelbock category, picking up a silver and bronze medal, respectively.
Daniel Tipping, Marketing + Communications Executive at Sprig + Fern Brewing Co., says:
“It’s wonderful to see recognition for these two beers – they’re two of our best-sellers, and for good reason. The G.O.A.T Doppelbock in particular is one of our strongest performers and is often well-represented in awards, so to start the year off with a community-led win is really terrific!
“I love visiting Untappd to see who’s been enjoying our beers and what they think of them. We get a lot of love from the community. I like to share the really positive reviews with the rest of the team – it’s a nice nudge for them to see folks enjoying the brews they’ve put so much work in to”.
The top three beers in each category were determined by their average rating from check-ins with ratings in the calendar year. For a beer to qualify, it must have received at least fifty check-ins from fifty unique Untappd community members in 2023.
