Ludwig Narziß Prize for Brewing Science | As with almost all public events, awards ceremonies have also been impacted by the current Covid restrictions. The Ludwig Narziß Prize for Brewing Science would ordinarily have been awarded to this year’s recipient on November 12th in Nuremberg at the BrauBeviale, which would have taken place in the presence of, and with a laudation given by the namesake of the award, Prof. Ludwig Narziß.

European Beer Star | In 2020 all events were cancelled – or were they? No. The jury tasting of the European Beer Star indeed did take place in Gräfelfing at the beginning of October, and the "Oscars of the Brewing Industry" were awarded at the BrauBeviale Special Edition on 11 November 2020, although only ‘virtually’.

Ludwig Narziß Award | The Ludwig Narziß Award for Brewing Science was awarded for the fifth time, again on the occasion of BrauBeviale that took place mid-November 2019 at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre. The award is designed to honour authors of a scientific publication in BrewingScience whose results have a strong practical relevance.

EBS and BBC Results 2019 | In November two famous European beer competitions took place. The Brussels Beer Challenge (BBC) has been held from 1 November to 3 November 2019 in its 8^th edition. And only two weeks later the winners of the European Beer Star (EBS) 2019 were announced at the BrauBeviale in Nuremberg, Germany.
