Thank you to all those breweries who took part in the 2025 Beer of the Festival competition. Thanks also go to all our panel members from CAMRA and the brewing and hospitality industry for giving up their afternoon to help with the judging.
The competition entries were blind tasted by a panel of judges during the Trade Session on Thursday afternoon with all the Gold category winners going forward to a final blind 'drink off' to choose the Champion Beer.
Congratulations to all our winners - the judges had a pretty hard time choosing the Champion Beer – Junda from Neepsend Brew Co – from a very competitive line up of beers from near and far.
