“While the Castle Milk Stout brand is a renowned name in the beer industry, known for its unwavering commitment to the preservation and celebration of African culture, so is our signature dark, velvety Stout brewed deep within our heritage. Richness is passed down through generations. Our distinct, rich, smooth, silky, dark roasted malt, caramel, and lactose give the beer a rich, complex symphony of smokey, toasted, and roasted flavors, giving the beer a smooth and full-bodied taste to savor and enjoy chilled. Born an age before, mastered over decades, for our consumers to savor today”, said Castle Milk Stout Marketing Manager Khwezi Vika.

The esteemed panel of expert judges at the Monde Awards takes their time to analyze each product individually, making sure that the winning products are on par with international beer standards.

We are delighted to have once again won gold at the prestigious Monde Awards, as this is a great achievement for both the brand and our consumers. The award complements our recent decision to refresh our product packaging, while it still has the same award-winning taste,”, Vika continued.
