Have you nominated a brewer for our Brewer of the Year Award?  If not, please come forward now with your suggestion for who should win this accolade, sponsored by SIBA.

To nominate, please complete this form. The final day for submitting nominations is this Wednesday 12 October.

We’ll need the brewer’s name and a line or two stating why you think they should win the award. Past winners haven’t just brewed great beer, but also made a contribution over and above that, in terms of advancing the industry and the conversations that take place within it.

After receiving your nominations, we’ll create a shortlist and all Guild members – full, associate and corporate –  will have a chance to vote (but note that corporate members may not vote for their own brewer and only one vote per company is allowed). The winner will be announced at our Awards Dinner on 23 November.

Last year, the Brewer of the Year Award went to John Hatch of Ram Brewery. Recent winners include Oliver Fozard, Sophie de Ronde, John Keeling, Jaega Wise, Justin Hawke, Jenn Merrick and Richard Westwood.
