The Barcelona Beer Challenge 2025 Introduces the Innovative BAP System to Enhance the Experience of Our Competition.
As a major innovation for 2025, the Barcelona Beer Challenge, one of Europe’s most prominent beer competitions, is taking a step forward by unveiling an enhanced experience with the launch of its new registration, judging, and results system: the Beer Awards Platform (BAP).
The BAP platform has been developed by professionals in the brewing industry with the aim of optimizing processes in beer competitions. After years of organizing events using traditional pen-and-paper methods, the creators of this platform have designed a digital solution that streamlines management for organizers, judges, and participants alike.
BAP offers a comprehensive solution for all stages of the competition: from marketing and sample management to organizing evaluation sessions, virtual judging, result dissemination, and the final distribution of reports. Led by a multidisciplinary team, the platform aims to simplify and streamline each phase of the event, providing a more efficient and professional experience for everyone involved.
REGISTRATIONS: The beer competition has undergone significant improvements in its registration process, making it easier for brewers to access and participate. The main updates are as follows:
- Participants will be able to access their registration and make necessary changes at any time before the registration deadline.
- It is now possible to complete the initial registration and add beers later, once all the information is ready.
Judges’ results will be available in detail the day after the award ceremony.
JUDGES: New Evaluation System Enhances Judges’ Work and Improves Results for Brewers. The newly implemented evaluation system provides judges with an easy-to-use tool that streamlines discussions and allows for quick consensus on scores. Additionally, it gives access to all relevant information for each judging session. This improvement not only optimizes the evaluation process but also provides brewers with clearer and more detailed results, promoting more comprehensive evaluation sheets.
With the introduction of the BAP platform, the Barcelona Beer Challenge 2025 marks a milestone in the evolution of beer competitions, offering a more efficient and agile experience for both organizers and participants. Thanks to its innovative registration, evaluation, and results tools, the event solidifies its position as a leader in the brewing industry, making participation easier and improving the quality of evaluations. Undoubtedly, this new digital era sets the course for a more professional and accessible future for all involved.
It is worth mentioning some of the most renowned competitions that are using the BAP system with great success, such as the Concurso Brasileiro de Cerveja, the AHA National Homebrew Competition, and the Best of Craft Beer Awards. For more information visit: https://beerawardsplatform.com/home
