European Beer Star 2009: Huge international participation
836 beers from more than 30 countries entered the European Beer Star contest 2009. 78 jury members from seventeen countries awarded gold, silver and bronze medals in 41 categories – ranging from German lager to Bohemian Pilsner, English Ale or herb beer. The organizing committee consisting of the German Association Private Brauereien and the Association of Small and Independent Breweries in Europe was quite pleased with the fact that attendance increased by 22 percent compared to the previous year – a record participation. Unlike at similar beer contests, only three types of medals are awarded per category (gold, silver and bronze). That is the reason why the European Beer Star is said to be one of the toughest beer contests all over the world.
