Beer Tasting Competition 2023

On 12 September we held our annual Beer Tasting Competition at Brewers’ Hall and were delighted to welcome a host of teams from our member breweries. The quiz was brilliantly compiled and presented by the previous trophy holders, Sambrook’s Brewery, who selected a diverse range of eight beers for contestants to ponder over. Teams attempted, with some success, to determine the ABV, bitterness, additional ingredients (both commonplace and exotic), country of origin, brewing method and many other qualities of the beers they tasted. Ultimately, the team from St Austell Brewery (pictured) was victorious with an impressive score of 24/32; Liveryman Simon George and his team from Arbor Ales came in second place and one of our newest Liverymen, Steve Cox, with his team from Four Pure came third.
