Top Reasons to Participate in the Berlin International Beer Competition:
Top Trade Buyer Judges
This is an opportunity for you to place your product in front of real, working industry trade buyers, in one of the biggest beer markets in the world. Plus, we’re the only International Beer Competition where all the judges are real trade buyers, judging your product by its category and actual price. These buyers represent some of the top importers, distributors, retailers, and restaurants in Europe.
Reconnect With Real Buyers
Established beer, cider, hard seltzer and non alcohol producers — this is your chance to re-connect and/or be re-discovered by the entire beer buying community, in a true and equitable blind tasting by real trade buyers.
Find European Buyers
This competition allows international producers to be blind tasted by some of the top buyers in the European Market. Our buyers are always looking for new and interesting products to bring to the market. It is open to all commercial producers. You do not have to be sold in Europe to submit.
