World Beer Awards 2010

Following four rounds of judging, five bottled beers have been crowned ‘World’s Best Beers’ by the international, highly respected judging panel. Judges have now blind-tasted beers, from over five hundred entries in twenty-seven countries, in the annual World Beer Awards. Category winners and style trophies have also been named. These Awards are truly global as the ‘World’s Best’ winners in 2010 demonstrates; originating from the USA, Canada, Czech Republic, Japan and Germany. Organised by www.tastingbeers.com the competition selects, awards and promotes to consumers the best beers available internationally. For the first time this year, ‘The World’s Best Beers 2010 Book’ has been produced, which includes tasting notes on all style winners and those who have been highly recommended. The book will be available from July 2010 and available through all good bookshops, specialist beer shops and available to purchase directly from www.tastingbeers.com at the RRP of £7.95.

The international panel of judges is chaired by Roger Protz, with European chair Jeff Evans, US chair Stan Hieronymus and Japanese chair Bryan Harrell. The chairmen are supported by their panel of judges; leading beer experts Jay Brooks and Eric Warner in the US, Ben Vinken in Belgium, Sylvia Kopp in Germany, Sally Toms in the UK, and Tatsuo Aoki in Japan.
