DEADLINE EXTENSION ANNOUNCED FOR STIEGL BEER COCKTAIL COMPETITION

After being inundated with requests from bartenders asking for more time to perfect their serves, Euroboozer has announced that the deadline for the Stiegl Beer Cocktail Competition 2022 has been extended until the 31st July.

The unique competition is an annual event during the summer months and this year takes on extra special significance as it is part of Stiegl’s 530th year anniversary celebrations.

The initial deadline was set for the 30th June and with the Jubilee celebrations, inflation, staff shortages and another Covid surge piling plenty of additional pressure on operators and bartenders in June, the decision has been taken to extend the deadline to provide additional time for bartenders to perfect their drinks and enter.

Martyn Railton, MD of Euroboozer, said:

“We’ve received some amazing entries and been inundated with requests for samples but after a mammoth month for the trade, many of our customers and their teams have been requesting a little more time to perfect their serves and put their entries together. The competition is all about celebrating Stiegl’s 530th year anniversary so we decided that a few more weeks in the scheme of things wasn’t too much to ask.”

Stiegl Radler and Beer Cocktails 

Set up in 1492, the Stiegl brewery turned 530 years old in June. With a hard-earned reputation for being the world’s most thirst-quenching, supremely-refreshing, sun-loving sipper, the multi-tasking Stiegl Grapefruit Radler can also be a power ingredient in a whole host of seasonal cocktails of the beer persuasion.

Produced by combining Stiegl’s famous Goldbräu lager with fresh grapefruit juice, this much-revered, naturally cloudy Radler-style beer contains just 2% alcohol by volume but offers an explosion of fruity flavours, fizz and puckery tartness for unbeatable flavour and refreshment. It is available in a 500ml can and 25L Returnable kegs.

Great examples of beer cocktails created in previous years include MEATliquor’s famous Radlerita, drink writer Jonathan Hatchman’s Rad Paloma, beer writer Mark Dredge’s Campari Radler and blogger Happy Skin Kitchen’s Grapefruit Beerlini.
