In addition, GrolschPuur Weizen, Grolsch Klassieke Blond, Grolsch Volle Dubbel en Grolsch Weizen 0.0% all won a silver medal. Juan Pérez Nijhuis - Brand Manager Grolsch Specialty Beer - about this fantastic result: “We are incredibly proud that each of our newest introductions Blond, Dubbel and Tripel were acclaimed. We invest much time and attention into the quality of our beers, such as last year’s recipe revamp for a fresher tasting Lentebok. It’s then very rewarding to see it selected as the best in the Netherlands!”.

 

The World Beer Awards is the world's largest beer competition where the very best beers are selected and awarded within different categories. During the annual tasting, the beers are tested by specialised tasting panels made up of international beer specialists. This year more than 2200 beers from over 50 different countries participated. The competition consists of three rounds and nine main categories. In the first round, all beers from the same country are compared with one another. A winner is chosen from each subcategory (the country winner). The second, third and fourth place beers are then awarded medals (gold, silver, bronze) per country. In the second round, the country winners are compared with each country in their subcategory. The winning beers (world style winners) compete in the final round for the title "best beer in the world" in the nine main categories. 

 

All category winners, country winner and gold, silver and bronze medal winners can be viewed at the website of World Beer Awards.
