Australian International Beer Awards 2010
UPDATE: Full results are now up at http://www.beerawards.com/pdfs/2010_AIBA_COR.pdf. I will post a summary of the South Australian Breweries results by tomorrow afternnon.
The judging is done and the presentation was last night. I would have loved to have been there for it but alas my day job kept me away from Melbourne. I haven’t seen all the results yet as AIBA have not published them at the time of writing but found the trophy results on The Crafty Pint. Haved also seen a story on ninemsn, nice to see the mainstream media giving some coverage.
Most of the big gongs have gone overseas which is a shame but seem to have gone to worthy winners for the most part. I’m not familiar with all the winners. I have no issue with the best beers being from overseas but I believe that the beer should at least be available in this country to qualify for the awards. It’s kind of crappy that you see all these great beers winning awards and it’s next to impossible to get them in this country. Maybe I’m just jealous I wasn’t able to be there though. Actually there is no doubt that I am jealous that I couldn’t be there.
I can’t wait to see the full results to see how our local brewers have done. They have had a good showing in the past and hopefully this year will be no different.
