23.5.2012 Gambrinus

„I am very pleased with the fact that Gambrinus beers were one of the best in such an intense competition of beers from all around the world. It clearly shows that our Czech beers and Czech beer brewing traditions have fine names abroad, and they are respected and popular,“ said Jan Hlaváček, who comes from a family with 80 years of Gambrinus beer brewing tradition. „Today as in the past, we harvest success especially thanks to the maximum care and love of beer, the highest quality Czech materials, and the preserving of traditional methods and beer brewing procedures. Simply said, it is thanks to all major aspects standing behind the Gambrinus success for many, many years,“ Jan Hlaváček added. Those are also the reasons behind the geographical trademark of Gambrinus beer as Czech Beer.

Established in 1993, the Australian International Beer Awards Competition is more and more popular every year. It is now the third biggest professional beer competition in the world. The awards are given only to those beers that are in accordance with all requirements of the highest quality beer – especially a balanced taste, aroma and overall appearance. It is organised by the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria in cooperation with The University of Ballart. This year the competition was comprised of 24 categories.
