No one can deny that beer is an essential part of the
Australian way of life. And with the Australian beer
brewing industry generating almost $3 billion annually,
it is only fitting that the world’s second largest
brewing event – the Australian International Beer Awards
(AIBA) - is held on Australian soil.
The Royal Agricultural Society and the University of Ballarat established the
Australian International Beer Awards in 1993 and
continue to conduct the competition jointly.
Held in Melbourne each year, the AIBA, Australia’s most
prestigious beer event, has become firmly established on
the international brewing calendar as a renowned and
recognized barometer of diversity in beer brewing across
the world.
Attracting 941 entries from 39 countries in 2007. The AIBA remains the largest showcase for premium beer
and brewing excellence in the Asia Pacific Region and
has also been instrumental in helping to promote the
Australian brewing and related industries
internationally. Entries are received from as far afield
as Europe, USA and the Asia Pacific region, including
China, Japan and Tonga - plus all states of Australia.
Each year, an expert panel of judges (made up of
industry representatives) gathers in Melbourne and
Ballarat to judge beers in a variety of classes. In
addition to awarding the coveted gold, silver and bronze
medals in each class, judges award 14 prestigious
Championship Trophies.
Apart from celebrating all that is good in beer and
brewing, the AIBA is an ideal platform for educating
consumers, reaching new markets and promoting premium
beer.
