It wasn't brewing for a long time, but a local business was awarded the Swift Current & District Chamber of Commerce's SCBEX member business award on Thursday.

Black Bridge Brewery - which is coming up on just its third anniversary - was presented with the award by Chamber CEO Karla Wiens at the craft brewery in the east of town.

"The criteria was innovative and proactive leadership, measurable success, contributions to the community, community leadership, and of course exemplorary customer service," said Wiens. "And Black Bridge Brewery knocks it out of the park in all areas."

Wiens said the amount they've accomplished and how they've grown their business is "amazing." She said they had a number of deserving businesses put forth but that the craft brewery stood out in every part of the criteria the chamber looked at.
