Melbourne International Beer Competition Announces 2020 Winners

Thank you to all the brands who came out to compete this year!

The 4th Annual MIBC Took Place Virtually in Melbourne

The Melbourne International Beer Competition was excited with the quality and number of submissions we received in our 4th year. This year’s remote judging panel included buyers from top retail stores, sommeliers, distributors, and importers from Australia and the greater Asia Pacific Region. As with all of our competitions, we only select trade buyers to be our judges, ensuring that the brands submitted are tasted by the true decision-makers of the beverage industry.
