World Beer Awards
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.
