The International Brewing Awards, previously known as the Brewing Industry International Awards (BIIA), has been held since 1886. The International Brewing Awards are unique, judged only by professional working brewers/cider makers. Judging is made by consensus, not by scoring and, in the judging for a Champion Beer, only by voting. The judges’ remit is to reward the quality and commercial worth of the beer.

In the past, the Competition has received entries from all sizes of breweries around the globe. We have now incorporated cider into the Competition and have 4 cider classes.
