North Brewing, Georgina Young, Mark Tranter, Anspach & Hobday, Christian Townsley & John Gyngell, Burning Sky, Samuel Fraise of Attic Brew Co, Stroud Brewery, and Balance Brewing & Blending were the winners of the 2023 Brewers Choice Awards.
Nearly 300 figures from the brewing industry descended upon The Business Design Centre in Islington, London on Wednesday night to help celebrate and recognise the very best in beer.
The awards dinner, which featured music from The Colts, recognised the 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: “While it has obviously been a tough and challenging 12 months for beer and wider hospitality it was, as ever, a genuine privilege to be able to celebrate the very best in brewing. Like previous years, the standard of entries was incredibly high and everyone that was shortlisted and won should be suitably proud. A huge thanks to our judges and of course, to my venerable co-host, Melissa Cole!
“A big thank you also to everyone for taking part and to our sponsors in Lallemand, Kegstar, Rankin, Konvoy, SSV, BarthHaas X, Totally Natural Solutions, Potter Clarkson, and Easi-Keg Solutions for helping make it all possible.”
