World Beer Awards
The World Beer Awards is the world's largest beer competition where the very best beers are selected and awarded within their respective categories. During the annual tasting, the beers are tested by specialized tasting panels consisting of international beer specialists. This year, more than 1,500 beers from over 30 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 each other. A winner is chosen from each sub-category (the country winner). Medals (gold, silver, bronze) are then awarded to the second, third and fourth place winners from each country. In the second round, the country winners from each country are compared in their subcategory. The winning beers (world style winners) must compete in the final round for the title of "best beer in the world" in the nine main categories.
 
All category winners, country winners and, gold, silver and bronze medalists can be found on the World Beer Awards website.
