Testimonials
“We decided to take part in the London Competition to present our product to a broader audience and to compare ourselves with international producers. Winning this award was a huge recognition for us; it gave us visibility, credibility, and even more motivation to improve, grow, and keep moving forward.”
Christian Bispy Manessi
Head Brewer, Birrificio Curtense
“Winning an award is particularly important to us because it shows that we are making the types of beers that beer drinkers actually want to buy and enjoy.”
Cameron James
Head Brewer, Southern Highlands Brewing
“We entered the London Beer Competition as it's internationally recognised and gives us a chance to put our beers up against others across the world. It's a brilliant platform for gaining global recognition and benchmarking the quality of what we do. We were absolutely thrilled to win UK Beer of the Year 2025 for our barrel-aged Imperial Stout. It was a huge moment for the team with a real testament to the passion and creativity behind every cool town brew.”
Ian Kennedy
Head of Production and Quality Control, Cold Town Beer
