The 2022 London Beer Competition’s Deadline Is Almost Here

Bring your beer and brewery into the spotlight it deserves. Enrol your beer today!

We all love our chilled beers. Let’s face it, there are so many options in the market. There is a constant influx of new beers and consumers only have so many preferences. How does a beer then stand out to restaurants and consumers alike? Well, the London Beer Competition is here to make things easier.

The London Beer Competition looks to recognize, reward, and help promote beer brands that have successfully been created to identify with and target a specific beer drinker. For any beer brand to earn its place on a retailer’s shelf or a restaurant’s beer list -  and then vitally stay there - they need to be marketable and consumer-driven and not just produced in the general hope it can find enough people willing to sell and buy it. This unique competition strikes the right balance between brands that consumers really want to buy and have a clear market value for trade buyers.

To be a London Beer Competition award winner, you will need to have a top-quality beer that offers both the trade and the consumer great value for money, and you will need to look good and truly stand out on the shelf and on the back bar. The scoring will be as follows:

Q (Quality Score) + Value Score (V) + Package Score (P) = London Beer Competition Score.

Any beer scoring over 90 points will be awarded a Gold Medal, 76 to 89 points will get a Silver Medal, and 65 to 75 receive a Bronze Medal. Gold Medal-winning beers will also be considered for special awards like Beer Of The Year, Brewery Of The Year, Best Beer By Country, Best Beer By Quality, Best Beer By Value, and Best Beer By Packaging.

London Beer Competition Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medals

These medals and awards are awarded by our illustrious judging panel. This panel includes leading retail chains, wholesalers, distributors and on-trade groups across a variety of channels and disciplines including multiple retailing, convenience stores, cash and carries, specialist retailers, casual and fine dining, hospitality and the travel industry.

The winning medal received alongside the Digital Certificate can be used across different Brand Support Tools as well as Point of Sale processes like Brand Deck, Sell Sheet, Shelf Talkers, Case Cards, Bottle Neckers and more.
