After the disruption of the last 18 months, it’s good to have the chance to celebrate the country’s top brews. We need our membership to let us know which beers are the cream of the crop, so don’t forget to vote and help ensure your favourite pint is in with a chance to win. Voting opened on 1 September, leaving you with just two weeks to vote if you haven’t already.
