The Society of Independent Brewers and Associates (SIBA) has partnered with the Great British Pub Awards to introduce a new category for best beer pub. Nominations are now open.
Building on the success of SIBA’s independent beer bar, which it brought to the awards in 2023 and which will return again this year, the new SIBA-sponsored award is open to all pubs with a focus on an exceptional beer offer.
The winner must consistently deliver value and high standards through their range, showcasing the quality of their serve, cellar management and training, staff knowledge, and excellent customer service.
“Quality beer goes hand in hand with a superb pub, and with the vast majority of the beer produced by independent breweries being sold to pubs in their local area, the Great British pub is absolutely vital to our member brewers in the independent brewing sector,” said SIBA chief executive Andy Slee.
“Judges will not only be looking for a great range of beers on offer, but also impeccable cellar skills, great customer service, and staff with a real passion and knowledge for the beer they serve. I look forward to seeing who is in the running for this year’s inaugural award.”
