The Beer of India Awards is a celebration of the art and science of brewing. It aims to award excellence in the Indian brewing industry. A national competition that has made an impact on consumer awareness about different beer styles and flavour profiles while promoting international brewing excellence.

A first-of-its-kind awards show in India, conducted by Brewer World, was solely dedicated to the Beer and Brewing Community. It recognised the excellence in beers across India with a blind tasting judging process. During its course, it became one of the most premier Beer judging competitions for the Industry in India. A competition that is strictly open only to commercial brewers and microbreweries of all production sizes in India.
