Five Points Brewing Company, The Kernel founder Evin O’Riordain, Duration Brewing, Garrett Oliver, Lakes Brew Co, Aaron McClure of Sharp’s Brewery, Mondo, and Vocation’s Matthew Howgate were the winners of the 2021 Brewers Choice Awards.
Nearly 300 figures from the brewing industry descended upon The Brewery in Moorgate, London last week to help celebrate and recognise the very best in beer.
The evening kicked off with a cocktail reception before guests settled down for dinner where there was a wealth of great beer on offer from Mondo, Five Points, Northern Monk, Duration Brewing, Signature Brew, Sharp’s, Fuller’s and Vocation.
And before guests danced the night away, we recognised New Brewery of the Year, New Beer of the Year, Best Branding, Beer of the Year, Brewer of the Year, Brewery of the Year, Young Brewer of the Year, Global Ambassador Award and the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Tim Sheahan, editor of The Brewers Journal, commented: “Following a challenging 18 months, it was incredibly gratifying to be able to celebrate the very best in brewing. The standard of entries was predictably very high and everyone that was shortlisted and won should be suitably proud.
“A big thank you to everyone for taking part and to our sponsors in AEB, Lallemand, Rankin, SSV, Totally Natural Solutions, and Thomas Fawcett for helping make it all possible.”
