SIBA Business Awards Finalists revealed: Independent craft beer industry set to battle it out at BeerX UK
The finalists of the SIBA Business Awards 2019 have today been revealed, highlighting the very best craft beer brewers, retailers, restaurants and pubs.
The awards, run by the Society of Independent Brewers and judged by a panel of industry experts, are set to take place a week today on the 13th March at BeerX UK 2019 – the trade association’s flagship beer and brewing event in Liverpool.
“The SIBA Business Awards 2019 represent our biggest competition ever, with a twenty five percent increase in entries on last year, which was in itself a record breaking year for the awards. What has been particularly impressive though was the standard and quality of entries, with judges having a really difficult task separating an over-achieving pack!” Neil Walker, SIBA Business Awards Judges Chair.
The awards congratulate excellence across the beer and brewing industry – from independent craft breweries making efforts to improve their green credentials or business efficiency, to bars, retailers and restaurants who have shown a talent for supplying the best beer in the UK.
“These really are the top craft beer businesses around, with those crowned overall winners at BeerX UK set to be acknowledged as the very best of the best.”Neil added.
