Beer, pub, and cider communicators \u2013 from journalists and bloggers, to podcasters and filmmakers \u2013 are invited to submit their best work within 14 separate categories for a chance to gain national recognition and share in the prize fund. For 2025, the Guild of Beer Writers has announced an update of their categories as well as the creation of a Best Beer Publisher category, to recognise the work of newspapers, magazines and websites that commission work from communicators, as well as any businesses who have created content for the specific purpose of promoting a business or product.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Guild has also decided to take a stance on Generative AI, stressing that its use won\u2019t be allowed as the Guild looks to champion human creativity and journalistic integrity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Discussing this year\u2019s awards and the evolution of the categories, Jonathan Garrett, Chair of the Guild, said, <\/span>\u201cWith opportunities in beer writing getting ever harder to find, our awards get more important every year. We\u2019ve committed to ring-fencing our industry-leading prize fund, and have also tweaked our categories to represent modern beer writing as best we can. I can\u2019t wait to read the winners after last year\u2019s showing \u2013 we\u2019re lucky to have such talented communicators.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The winners and runners-up \u2014 including for Brewer of the Year (sponsored by SIBA) and the brand-new Beer of the Year category \u2014 will be announced at the Guild\u2019s annual dinner and awards in London on the 27th of November 2025. For the third year running, the Guild has partnered with Big Penny Social to host the event.<\/span><\/p>\n

All entries will be judged by the Guild\u2019s independent panel, chaired by the current Beer Writer of the Year, Ruvani de Silva, who commented, \u201cThe BGBW awards offer beer writers a space to enhance our collective value as a community, coming together to support one another and recognise the value of our writing. To have our hard work and talent recognised by our peers is hugely rewarding personally and professionally, and lifts our industry up as a whole.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s judging panel will be revealed in the upcoming weeks. Full details of all categories and advice on how to submit entries can be found on the Guild\u2019s <\/span>website<\/span><\/a>. Entries must be received via the dedicated entry form by the closing date of 22nd of August, and work submitted must have been published between 1st September 2024 and 22nd August 2025.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
