The World Beer Awards

The World Beer Awards are the global awards selecting the very best internationally recognised beer styles. Organised by tastingbeers.com, this annual tasting selects, awards and promotes the ‘Best Beers in the World’ to consumers throughout the world. Beers must be generally available and for sale in bottles or cans.

Judging is blind with regional style heats held in Europe, the USA and Asia. Each region has its own Chairman and selects the style winner in each region. Winners of each style in each region are then tasted against each other to select the World’s Best Style. From these world winners we can then select the World’s Best Ale, Lager, Stout & Porter and Wheat Beer, and from which the World’s Best Beer is selected. A more detailed chart is shown below.
