[email protected] cryermalt.Co.NZ Message from the Brewers Guild The Brewers Guild of New Zealand is proud to present the results of the 2019 Brewers Guild of New Zealand Beer Awards. In 2019, considerable work was undertaken to update the competition rules and entry process to make it easier for entrants to understand how they can compete. This work was undertaken by the Awards Advisory Committee, Chaired by Tracy Banner, who all volunteered countless hours to ensure that the Brewers Guild of New Zealand Beer Awards remain the most prestigious and meaningful Awards in New Zealand. Thank you for your contribution. We received the largest number of entries in the history of the competition with 955 beer and cider entries received. Notably, beer entries from New Zealand breweries were up 13% - demonstrating the diversity and innovation of the New Zealand brewing landscape.
