The Launceston-based cider company won the Best Dry Cider award for its Cox's Orange Pippin and the Best Perry in the inaugural Festivale Tasmanian Cider Trail Cider Awards.
Red Brick Road cider maker Corey Baker said it was terrific to win in the first cider awards at Festivale.
"Festivale is really the only organisation that push beer, wine and cider - no other organisation does that in terms of events," Mr Baker said.
"So we are delighted with that.
"We love to be here and we are proud to win the first one."
Mr Baker said the Cox's Orange Pippin was a dry-style cider made using the old-style Cox's Orange Pippin apple.
"It's not really a traditional cider apple, but it makes a fantastic cider," he said.
This year marks the 14th Festivale at which Mr Baker has worked.
"It's a terrific event and it's something we look forward to coming back to every year," he said.
The Tasmanian Cider Trail was launched in 2014.
