With a record number of entries for the Australian International Beer Awards (AIBA) being one of the judges must have been a festive day at the office.

The AIBA this year received 1,560 samples of liquid amber and dark creamy stouts from 294 brewers in 31 countries.

This annual competition under the auspices of the Royal Agricultural Society and the Federation University Australia the AIBA is the largest competition for the beer industry in the Asia Pacific region.

The winners of the competition were announced at a gala dinner on Thursday in Melbourne, Australia. The panel of expert judges included Australians, Norwegians, Belgians, Americans, Brits, Japanese and New Zealanders.  The week long judging process took place at the Melbourne show grounds.

Does this mean that each judge had to cram almost 223 tastings into a single day, everyday? Forget working for Facebook and Google being an AIBA judge must be the nicest job in the world!

AIBA Head Judge, and Little Creatures Head Brewer, Warren Pawsey said, “It was a great privilege to lead such a talented panel of judges who brought a diverse mix of backgrounds and wealth of experience to the competition.
