Wiper and True, Great Beyond Brewing Co, Imogen Beedham, Miles Jenner, Richard Dinwoodie and Mike Hill, Vale Brewery and Jim Rangeley of Abbeydale Brewery were the winners of the 2024 Brewers Choice Awards.
Nearly 300 figures from the beer, brewing and hospitality sectors descended upon The Business Design Centre in Islington, London on Monday night to help celebrate and recognise the very best in beer and brewing.
The awards dinner, which featured music from The Colts, recognised the New Brewery of the Year, New Beer of the Year, Sustainability Champion, 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: “It has been another testing period for businesses involved in the brewing sector but at The Brewers Journal our raison d’être is to champion the industry and play our small part in sharing and celebrating the incredible knowledge, skills and expertise that this sector has in abundance.
“So it was, and remains, a genuine privilege to platform the very best in brewing. As with previous years, the standard of entries was ridiculously high and everyone that was shortlisted and won should be suitably proud. A massive thanks to our judges and of course, to my superstar co-host, Melissa Cole!
“A big thank you also to everyone for taking part and to our sponsors in Lallemand, Kegstar, Loughran Brewers Select, CleanEarth Energy, HIT Training, Konvoy, SSV Ltd, BarthHaas, and Totally Natural Solutions for helping make it all possible.”
