Brewers to compete at SIBA National Beer competition

26th January 2010, 8:46am

Beers from 50 independent brewers will be going head to head for the top titles at the SIBA National Beer Competition, to be held in Nottingham on 4th February.

The event brings together the winners of seven regional heats held over the past 10 months. Judges will select a winner in each of nine categories, as well as a Supreme Champion beer.

The 10 winning beers will be announced at SIBA's National Conference, held in Stratford-on-Avon in March. In addition to the prestige of winning a national title, the winners are guaranteed a place on the SIBA Champions Bar at the Great British Beer Festival in London in August.

SIBA chief executive Julian Grocock said: "Competition for a place at the finals is fierce, with more beers being entered into the regional heats each year.

"We are looking forward to the national competition, and confident that it will once again act as a great showcase for the wonderful, high-quality beers that are produced by SIBA's 450 innovative and talented smaller brewers across the country."
