The Australian International Beer Awards (AIBA) is the pre-eminent showcase for premium beer and brewing excellence in the Asia Pacific region. Celebrating its 20th year, the AIBA has grown in stature to become one of the most highly regarded awards of its industry, attracting a remarkable number of high quality and innovative beers from Australian and international breweries.
A new Industry Advisory Group has been appointed for the AIBA to further enhance the relevance of the prestigious competition. The industry representatives appointed come from a broad interest base including small and large breweries, education, hospitality and distribution. The members of the Advisory Group are Bill Taylor of Lion Nathan, Brad Rogers of Stone and Wood and the National Craft Brewers Association, Chris Badenoch of Josie Bones, Leif Ryan of Phoenix Beers, Peter Aldred from the University of Ballarat and AIBA Chief Judge, Peter Manders.
The competition’s global reputation has been reinforced in recent years with the inclusion of some of the world’s most respected judges both locally and internationally. In 2011, the Awards attracted a record 1,195 entries from 34 countries across the globe, including Brazil, China, Indonesia, Mongolia, Denmark and Kazakhstan.
Presented annually by the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria in conjunction with the University of Ballarat, the 2012 AIBA judging will be conducted at Melbourne Showgrounds in April. The event will culminate in the awards presentation dinner held during Good Beer Week at The Melbourne Exhibitions and Convention Centre, Melbourne, Australia on Thursday, 17 May 2012.
