The overall winners of the 2023 World Beer Awards have been named, the judges’ crème de la crème across ten categories.
Round one winners, from the brewers who had entered the competition, were announced on 3rd August. Judges then converged on London for rounds two and three, where the global winners were decided.
“Once again, the winners in the World Beer Awards demonstrate a pulsating and exciting snapshot of some of the most exciting beers being brewed across the globe,” said judge Adrian Tierney-Jones.
“Congratulations naturally go to the winners, but in my final year as the chair of judges for the awards I would also like to thank the many judges who have applied themselves to their tasks with diligence and great professionalism.”
