Determining The Proper Category For Your Beer
Each brand may only be entered once. No beer may be entered in multiple
categories. Brewing companies entering beers in the 2022 Korea
International Beer Award should carefully review the category and
subcategory designations before registering a beer. It is imperative that
beers are entered into the proper category and subcategory since judges
evaluate beers based on these category descriptions. It is the
responsibility of each brewing company to enter its beer in the
appropriate category and subcategory. The staff of the Korea International
Beer Award cannot assist brewing companies in this decision.
