Tuesday 16 September – Wednesday 17 September, 2014

The title of Champion Beer & Cider will be on the line at the upcoming Sydney Royal Beer & Cider Show at Sydney Showground, 16-17 September, 2014.

There is still time to enter! Entries close on Wednesday 9 July, 2014.

The Sydney Royal brand hosts the most prestigious and competitive events on the industry calendar with the Beer & Cider Show showcasing draught and bottled beers, as well as reflecting Australia’s growing love of cider which has doubled in the past four years.

Classes to be judged include Golden Lagers, Dark Lagers, Pale and Golden Ales, Amber and Dark Ales, Stouts and Porters, Wheat Beers, Strong Beers, Reduced Alcohol Beer, Cider, Perry and Speciality Beer.

Respected industry expert and well-known author, Neal Cameron will take on the role of Chief Judge. Mr Cameron brings considerable industry experience as Head Brewer at The Australian Brewery, tasting panelist for Beer and Brewer Magazine and is an experienced beer and cider judge.

“Sydney Royal has always set the highest standards with its competitions and this year will be no different. An exceptional group of beer and cider judges from around Australia will be joining an equally exceptional group of stewards to find Australia’s best,” Mr Cameron said.

“What makes winning a Sydney Royal medal even more special is the opportunity for producers to brand their product with a prestigious Gold, Silver or Bronze medal. This is a true mark of excellence and something beer and cider lovers can look for when making their in-store purchase.”
