Entries Open For The 2023 Australian International Beer Awards

Want to see how your beers stack up against those of your Aussie peers as well as brewers from across the planet? Then it's time to enter the 2023 Australian International Beer Awards.

The country's largest beer competition – and one of the largest of its kind anywhere in the world – returns for a 30th time.

Judging is set to take place in May ahead of the gala awards dinner during Good Beer Week, when the organisers at Melbourne Royal will hand out trophies for best beers, breweries, packaging and beer media, as well as those recognising outstanding achievements in the industry.

For the first time since the COVID pandemic began, international judges will return to Australia for judging, which takes place in Melbourne between May 15 and 18.

The Awards Presentation will be held in the Victoria Pavilion, Melbourne Showgrounds, at 6pm on May 25. Tickets are on sale now, costing $225pp or $2100 for a table of ten.
