About the competition:
The Brussels Beer Challenge aims to promote the beer industry in a market that is not only a benchmark for beer but also home to connoisseurs. During three days, a tasting panel of internationally renowned beer judges will taste over 1,700 beers from around the world. The participating beers are divided into categories based on origin, type, and style, and then evaluated. At the end of the three tasting days, the best beers in each category will be awarded a gold, silver, or bronze award. EDP members won 19 awards in 2024.
