The London Beer Competition is organized by Beverage Trade Network, which organizes alcohol beverage industry events all over the world. The goal of this event was to judge beer the way consumers and trade review them.

Beers were judged on the basis of three primary criteria – quality, value, and packaging and scored on a 100-point scale. Beers that scored 90+ points were awarded Gold medals
