Awards
The breweries will receive recognition for its valued beers, which will materialize in some different awards endowed with the legitimacy granted by a jury selected and recognized internationally.
- The BBC awards recognize, certify and disseminate the quality of beers. These awards are granted by the jury with specific training and qualifications so that the decisions of the jury enjoy the national and international recognition that corresponds to them.
- Our evaluation methodology ensures a dedication to each beer higher than the average of other contests, so the various opinions of the judges can be robustly evaluated.
- The BBC awards also aim to spread the beer culture among consumers, as well as to guide them in the acquisition of high quality beers among the wide range of beers available in the market. With this objective, the winners (and for each award-winning beer) will be provided with a logo that can be inserted into: their labels, digital platforms, promotional materials, packaging, web, etc. A distinctive seal that will provide information and help make the award-winning beers visible.
Categories
The Barcelona Beer Challenge prizes are divided into four categories:

In a first phase, the Steering Committee will select 5 finalists that will be presented to a Jury with specific knowledge in brewing innovation that will choose a single winner of the award.
