The Special Awards

In addition to the Finest Beer Selection, i.e. all beers with a Finest Beer Score of 90 or more points,
we choose the “Beer of the Year” nationally and internationally as well as the “Brewery of the Year” nationally and internationally.

“Beer of the Year” (national and international) are those beers that were awarded
the highest Finest Beer Score by the jury over the entire competition.

"Brewery of the year" - This title is awarded to those breweries that
make it into the Finest Beer Selection with at least five beers
and achieve the highest average Finest Beer Score among the five best-placed beers.
