RESULTS BROCHURE AWARDING EXCELLENCE IN ASIAN BREWING
I’m delighted to announce the award winners of the 2021 Asia Beer Championship.
The annual competition is run by the Asia Brewers Network and celebrates
excellence in the rapidly developing Asian brewing scene.
This year ’s competition saw a good increase of 15% over 2020’s entry registrations.
It also saw 80 breweries from 15 countries compete across the increased
number of 28 beer and 4 cider style categories, very encouraging signs given the
difficulties many breweries have experienced over the past 18 months.
Congratulations to the winners from the Chairman’s Selections all the way to the
Champion Beer of Asia. Our team of judges confirmed once again the raising of the
quality bar with many of the Chairman’s Selection beers unlucky to miss out on
trophies – on any other day they could have been worthy medallists.
I don’t think anybody would deny that 2021 has been yet another unusual year. Like
everyone in the industry we have had to overcome challenges with the staging
of this year’s competition but we are immensely grateful for the support and
encouragement received from breweries around the region.
As countries now begin to open up their economies and relax restrictions on
social gatherings it ’s great to see breweries communicating their success in the
competition across their social media platforms. As business growth starts anew
it’s vital for breweries to be able to share their success and a recognized label of
quality with the beer drinking public.
Finally, on behalf of our organizing team I’d like to express
our gratitude for the support of the Singapore judges
who have helped keep the competition running these
past couple of years and our competition partners who
make the staging of the competition possible. We’re all
looking forward to welcoming international judges back
to Singapore next year and to being able to host a live,
in-person awards presentation at SEA Brew 2022.
Cheers!Charles Guerrier
