Assessment and recognition
How entries are assessed
Blind tasting by beer style; packaging design is evaluated separately by relevant specialists.
Recognition and permitted use
Winning products receive the relevant identity and certificate; the official product page may link to the producer's website.
Official sources and verification
This is an independently maintained reference record. The organiser’s current rules govern eligibility, deadlines, charges and the award decision. The review date describes source verification, not a new publication of organiser rules.
