Wiltshire brewer Wadworth has won a silver medal for its ongoing commitment to green initiatives – and has been nominated for a further award by public assent.
The Devizes brewery’s visitor centre won the silver in the National Sustainable Tourism Certificate scheme. It has also been nominated in the community vote section of this year’s National Footprint Awards.
Wadworth has for some years been committed to waste reduction – re-using casks and kegs, and recycling waste products such as spent malt and hops, while conserving energy with the installation of a vapour condenser which makes use of steam produced in the brewing process to heat incoming water.
