Previously judged across just two sub-categories - Domestic and International – beer now has four sub-categories – Classic, Contemporary, Premium and Craft.
The top 200 beer brands were automatically entered in the brand awards, which include Fan Favourite, Gaining in Popularity and Most Distinctive Brand.
VB took out two trophies on the night, for Fan Favourite Classic Beer and Most Distinctive Classic Beer.
It was a double win for Great Northern too, for Fan Favourite Contemporary Beer and Gaining in Popularity Contemporary.
But it wasn’t all about the big brewers, Young Henry’s won Gaining In Popularity, Craft, following up on its Most Distinctive Brand of the Year win in 2018; meanwhile surfer Mick Fanning’s Balter Brewing XPA was voted Most Distinctive Craft Beer.
