British Guild of Beer Writers
Beer Writer of the Year and Annual Award Winners
Every year, since its formation in 1988, the Guild has bestowed awards on beer writers, and from 1995 it has presented a "Beer and Brewing Award", which in 2006 was replaced with the "Brewer of the Year" award. Note that the "Beer Writer of the Year" generally becomes the chairman of the award judges in the following year, and is thus ineligible for an award in that year.
The following is the full list of recipients.
