Competition Rules & SchedulesStructure in brief

Send completed forms to Brewing Technology Services, 3 Brewery Road, Wolverhampton WV1 4JT UKFax: +44 (0) 1902 795744 Tel +44 (0)1902 795742 Email [email protected] Web www.brewingawards.org

There are 32 classes within nine Championships. There are three Awards winners in each class. (Gold, Silver & Bronze). The Gold Awards winners in each class are re‐judged to find the Champion Beer in each category. There is no Supreme Champion

In all classes where the number of entries exceeds 7.5% of the total competitions, a further three ‘highly commended’ certificates will be awarded.

To assist entrants, each judging team will provide a short commentary on the beers that progress beyond the initial round of judging.

Definition of an entry & structure of fees

An entry is defined as a named product from a named brewery and offered for sale to the public at establishments licensed for this purpose.

Trial beers cannot be accepted.

The standard entry fee is £150 (plus UK VAT) for each entry. Cost up to 31.12.2010 = £176.25, Entrants from outside the UK are still liable to pay VAT on their entries.

No beer will be presented for judging unless the entry fee has been received in full. Full payment is required by no later 31st December 2010. Payments after 31.12.2010 are subject to the higher UK VAT rate at 20% = £180.00

The latest date for receipt of completed entry forms is 31st December 2010.

Late withdrawal will be accepted up to 31st December 2010. Any withdrawal after this date, or non arrival of samples, the entry fee will not be refunded.

Origin

Multiple entry registrations of the same beer in the same pack category from a single brewery are not permitted. More than one entry of the same beer brand from a single brewery may be entered only if the beer is presented in different pack categories. Thus one entry quantity of smallpack, one keg and one cask of the same beer brand would be permissible. (Bottle and can variants of the same beer from a brewery are both considered as smallpack and only one would be

permitted). Different breweries may enter the same beer brand in the same pack from different brewing sites. e.g. a licensed brand, multisite brewed brand.

For the purpose of judging the BIIA Awards, three pack categories are deemed acceptable. 1.Smallpack of any type (bottle, can, PET etc ‐ personal or small group size) 2.Keg 3.Cask Brewery means the site producing the beer liquid

If an agent/distributor etc is entering beer on behalf of a brewery, the agent must ensure that registration and entry details are approved by the brand owner whose beers are being submitted. For UK entrants Full delivery details and despatch labels will be forwarded to the competitor on receipt of completed entry forms and clearance of entry funds. All entries must be sent at the competitor’s risk with carriage paid.

Full delivery details will be sent to entrants.

Molson Coors have kindly agreed to assemble all UK beers in Burton upon Trent. Full address and time frame details will be forwarded to confirmed entrants.

For Entries from Outside the UK

All entries being despatched from outside the UK will be consolidated at a central point in the UK.

Full delivery details will be sent to entrants.

Competitors must inform their forwarding agent of the total volume of their consignment and its %ABV strength. The Organisers cannot be held responsible for clearance by UK Revenue and Customs authorities.

Shipping authorisations must make it clear that the entrant is responsible for the payment of any UK duty and VAT. The receiving agent in the UK will not be able to pay monies etc. owing on the entrant’s behalf. Thus failure to complete the instructions correctly will delay receipt of entry samples.

Compliance

The Organisers reserve the right to challenge any entry which is deemed not to meet the type/style qualification of the class being entered. They may either advise a move to an appropriate category and/or class or may arrange a refund of the entry fee.

Any entries which fail to comply with the Competition conditions will be disqualified.

Breweries with a judge on the Competitions’ panel are not barred from entering as the judge will not be involved in tasting beers direct from the container from their own company/affiliation.

To build up information about beers and entrants, the Organisers require entrants to include the %ABV of the beer. This data is for statistical purposes only and will remain confidential.

The judges reserve the right to analyse any entry for %ABV or colour as appropriate. All entries must fall within the specified ranges.

The Chairman of Judges has the authority to alter, modify or add to these conditions and in all cases the decision of the judges is final. The Competition is run in good faith and, by entering, the entrant agrees that no legal recourse is available.

Entries in the Dark Beer Competition: must have a beer colour in excess of 200EBC.

Entries in Speciality Beer Competition: must be fermented from a wort primarily produced from a cereal source. The product must have been brewed with materials or processes such that the resulting beer is clearly discernable as not a mainstream product.

Entries in Speciality Beer Competition Class 3: must be supported by the name of the national accrediting body which validated that the required organic standards have been met.

Recovery of empty largepack containers

UK competitors must collect casks and kegs from Molson Coors in Burton upon Trent inside the collection period. After that period containers will be put into the Kegwatch recovery scheme.

Overseas competitors will be required to collect their containers from the consolidation point within the time frame given. If the competitor does not wish to collect the container please inform the Organisers on the entry forms.

The Competition Organisers cannot return any casks or kegs and accept no responsibility for loss or damage.

If you win an Award

The three Award winners in each class (Gold, Silver and Bronze) will be announced at the National Brewery Centre on the afternoon of 11th February 2011.

Subsequently, the Championship winner in the nine categories will be announced alongside the BFBi National Luncheon 2011.

Medals, certificates and Championship trophies will be presented at the BFBi National Luncheon, Guildhall, City of London, UK, 12th April 2011.

Medal winners may be asked to supply fully badged samples of their winning entries for tasting by guests at the event.

All entrants are advised that it is the Organisers’ policy not to publish a complete list of entries. Statistical information will be issued, but only the Award‐winning brands/brewer will be publicised.

Use of the Awards logo

There is an approved form of wording to describe the class and status of each Award. Brewers whose entries receive an Award will be advised how that Award maybe described in that beer’s publicity, promotional and packaging material.

Options for displaying the Competition Medal will also be provided on a CD.

Should you win a Championship trophy, this will be presented at Guildhall, then displayed at the National Brewery Centre in Burton upon Trent. Championship winners will receive a commemorative trophy to keep.

Submission of a beer for entry implies full acceptance by the entrant brewer and their advertising agents of the rules governing the fair and correct description of any Award.
