The Royal Queensland Beer Awards supported by King Street invites brewers from across Australia to compete for national recognition. These prestigious awards have been hotly contested by the nation’s top brewers since 1875. All Australian brewing companies that are currently producing beer for commercial sale are eligible to participate for prestige and prizes.
Featuring a dedicated judging team of brewers, beer writers and industry figures, this revered beer competition offers a comprehensive snapshot of the quality of Australian brewing and a trustworthy guide for consumers.
A $5,000 bursary is awarded to the winner of the Grand Champion Beer Trophy. The bursary is aimed at furthering the winner’s own knowledge and advancing the Australian beer industry. The winner will also have the opportunity to have their products showcased at the Brisbane Showgrounds, including events in the Royal International Convention Centre.
