The Royal Queensland Beer Awards 2024
The Royal Queensland Beer Awards, a big competition for brewers in Australia, happened again in 2024. The event started up again in 2019 after not being around for a while. Breweries from all over Australia compete to see who makes the best beer. The winners get recognition and prizes.
The top beer of the year wins a special prize of $5,000 and gets to be showcased at different events. Thanks to support from Treasury Brisbane, a new award is given to a rising star brewery from Southeast Queensland. This year, Moffat Beach Brewing won the big prize with their Trilogy Best Coast IPA. It's their second win in a row. They won with another beer, Moff's Summer Ale, in 2023 and also in 2020. This shows they're really good at making great beer.
The head judge, Steve "Hendo" Henderson, said Moffat Beach Brewing is doing an awesome job making top-notch beer every year. Other winners included Stomping Ground from Melbourne, Slipstream Brewing, and Hiker Brewing, who just opened last year. The awards ceremony happened at the Brisbane Showgrounds, where 48 judges tried over 600 beers from 87 different breweries. It's a big deal for the beer industry in Australia.

The Royal Queensland Beer Awards
The Royal Queensland Beer Awards are a big competition for beer makers in Australia. It's been going on since 1875, making it a really old and respected event. Brewers from all over the country can join in, as long as they're making beer to sell commercially.
The competition brings together a special group of people who know a lot about beer, like brewers, writers who talk about beer, and other important folks in the industry. They work together to judge the beers and decide which ones are the best. One of the biggest prizes is the Grand Champion Beer Trophy.
The winner not only gets a fancy trophy but also receives $5,000 to help them learn more about making beer and improve the industry. Plus, they get to show off their winning beer at two big places in Brisbane. Another cool part of the competition is the chance for new brewers in Queensland to shine. There's an award just for them, called The Star Entertainment Group Emerging Queensland Brewer. It's for people who've been making beer for three years or less and have already made a big impact.
