It's not Friday and it's not home time yet but we've just found out the La Rousse du Mont Blanc beer was voted one of the best beers in the world, so surely we can drink to that..

The World Beer Awards has voted the La Rousse du Mont Blanc as the World’s Best Amber Pale Ale and Europe's Best Amber Pale Ale.

This double win adds two new trophies to their trophy cabinet which also features a Gold Medal from the Paris International Agricultural Show (not sure how may farmers are from Paris, but I'm sure they know a good tipple).

If you haven't tasted one of the best beers in the world then be sure give it a try when you're next in one of Chamonix's bars.
