A Bit About AIBA


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 1140 entries from 39 countries in 2009, the AIBA remains the largest showcase for premium beer and brewing excellence in the Asia Pacific Region and has 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 15 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.
