Don’t miss your chance to ensure your favourites get their opportunity to be the next Champion Beer of Britain, as voting has now opened.

Becoming the Champion Beer of Britain is the ultimate honour for UK breweries and has put many into the national spotlight. Previous winners include Surrey Hills for Shere Drop and Siren Craft Brew for its Broken Dream Breakfast Stout.

Beer lovers now have until 1 November to make their submission on the Champion Beer of Britain platform and can choose up to five beers across each of the new categories. This will take place alongside a series of regional heats throughout 2023, culminating in the final judging and announcement at the Great British Beer Festival 2023. 

If you’d like guidance on how to choose brews, join our online beer style training sessions. They’re free – all you need to do is buy the beers in advance, which are usually available from supermarkets. The next sessions are:

Sunday 4 Sept. 2pm-5pm https://tinyurl.com/beer-styles-4th-Sept

Saturday 2 Sept 11.30-2.30pm https://tinyurl.com/beer-styles-24th-Sept

CAMRA members are also invited to train as judges in regional heats and national finals, providing a unique opportunity to sample some of the very best beers from across the UK. 

CAMRA awards director Laura Emson said: “It’s incredibly exciting to kick off the Champion Beer of Britain competition once again. Winning the competition is a coveted achievement and the highest accolades a brewer can receive.

“CAMRA members will be able to vote using our special portal, and in a range of categories, from milds to bitters, IPAs to barley wines and more! We’re now inviting all members to take part in the process – and if you’re not a member, why not join today to nominate your favourite pint?”

Voting is open and available to CAMRA members at: https://cbob.camra.org.uk/
