The Australian International Beer Awards annually celebrate and recognise the best brewers across the world with up to 35 trophies presented to the champions of each category, including the overall Champion Australian Beer and Champion International Beer. The scale is truly remarkable. It is the largest annual beer competition in the world assessing both draught and packaged beer and in 2021 attracted an incredible 2,502 entries from 21 countries. Thank you to all of the 402 breweries who entered the Awards this year, with a special mention of the 261 Australian breweries – a new AIBA record. To have such strong numbers of Australian and International entries, in spite of the vast global challenges of the past 12 months, tells us that the AIBA continue to provide a valuable and important benchmarking and networking opportunity for brewers from around the world. The RASV work with an outstanding Industry Advisory Group of Billy Ryan, Craig Bowen, Justin Fox, Tina Panoutsos and Warren Pawsey who provide their support, counsel and commitment in assisting the RASV to deliver a hugely successful AIBA. The Industry Advisory Group were instrumental in recommending this year’s category changes. The changes, made in response to exhibitor, industry and consumer trends, included a new trophy awarded to the Champion Victorian Brewery, a new trophy for the Best Non-Alcohol Beer, a split of the IPA category into Best Traditional IPA and the Best Modern IPA and a split of the Best Specialty Beer into Best Specialty Beer and Best Specialty Flavoured Beer. I extend a sincere thanks also to all the judges and stewards for volunteering their valuable time and in particular, for their patience and understanding of the need for smaller panel sizes to meet the COVIDSafe event requirements. At this year’s AIBA Presentation Dinner, held at Melbourne Showgrounds magnificent new Victoria Pavilion, 333 gold, 694 silver and 816 bronze medals were awarded along with the 35 trophies. Each of these winners now have a unique opportunity to use the highly valued AIBA seal of excellence in their marketing and promotion. It would not be possible to conduct the Awards without the wonderful and generous support of our AIBA sponsors. Thank you to Presenting Partners Barrett Burston Malting and Cryer Malt, Major Sponsors HPA and Dan Murphy’s and the Trophy Sponsors HopCo, Brews News, Chr. Hansen, The Crafty Pint, Weyermann Specialty Malts, Joe White Maltings, Yakima Chef Hops, Rallings Labels Stickers & Packaging, Konvoy Kegs and Kegstar. The Australian International Beer Awards receive wonderful support from the beer industry and we thank the Brewers Guild of New Zealand, U.S. Brewers Association, Independent Brewers Association and Hellmann Worldwide Logistics for their support. Finally, congratulations to all the medal and trophy winners. The RASV trusts that you will enjoy great value and benefits from your success in the 2021 AIBA. RASV will continue to work with our Industry Advisory Group to ensure that the AIBA categories reflect industry trends, production techniques and consumer interest. On behalf of the RASV, all the best for a successful year of beer and brewing excellence.
