European Beer Star 2012: Gold for Daniel Thwaites Brewery
The European Beer Star, a European beer competition organized by Verband Privater Brauereien, a German brewing trade association, has undergone a sensational development. In only nine years, participation has skyrocketed from 271 beers (2004) to 1366 beers from 45 countries. It took the judges – a total of 102 brewmasters, beer sommeliers, and specialty journalists from 25 countries – two days to choose the world’s best beers in 50 beer categories (49 in 2011) in blind taste tests. They evaluated the beers purely on the basis of sensory criteria such as colour, aroma, foam, and of course flavour. On 14 November 2012, gold, silver, and bronze medals were awarded for European-style beers submitted by breweries from a total of 45 countries at the Brau Beviale in Nuremberg, Germany.
