The Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA) has announced an extension to the entry deadline for its 2024 Business Awards. The deadline is now 5pm on Monday, 12th February.

SIBA Business Awards 2024

“In response to requests from members, we have decided to extend the entry deadline by a further 11 days, giving entrants until close of play on Monday, 12th February, to ensure all the companies wishing to enter have the opportunity to do so,” said Neil Walker, SIBA Business Awards judging chair.

The awards, which highlight the UK’s best brewing and beer businesses, pubs, and retailers, this year include three new categories:

  • Best collaboration
  • Best new brewery
  • Brewers’ brewer of the year

The latter is a SIBA member-voted category. It seeks to highlight the brewer who has had the biggest positive influence on the industry in the last 12 months.

This could be through producing truly outstanding beers, delivering change for the industry, or giving back to the brewing community.

The awards are judged by a panel of industry experts and will be presented at BeerX UK, in Liverpool, in March. For more information, click here.
