Now the UK’s biggest beer and brewing trade event, BeerX has been recognised by the judging panel of the awards after a record-breaking year in 2025. The event saw its largest attendance ever and a 50% bigger footprint than previous years.
“I am hugely proud of what our small team achieves with BeerX, an event that brings together the very best of the independent brewing industry all under one roof, from brewers and brewery employees, to suppliers, manufacturers, and industry buyers,” said Andy Slee, chief executive of BeerX organiser SIBA.
“The event has gone from strength to strength in recent years, growing in both size and attendance, whilst managing to score incredibly high approval ratings with both delegates and exhibitors.
“We are very proud to be presenting the brewing sector at the prestigious Trade Association Forum Awards 2026 and would like to thank the judging panel for naming BeerX as a finalist from the many hundreds of entries received.”
