The shortlist has been revealed ahead of the inaugural Women in Beer Awards, whittled down from more than 280 nominations to nine categories.

Women in Beer Awards

“I was not expecting to see so many nominations for our first awards, but it confirmed there’s a need to celebrate the women who work and shape the beer industry,” said Amelie Tassin, founder of Women in Beer.

“It’s been a real joy to get to know so many talented women through the nominations, and I am in awe of the judges who had a very tough job selecting the shortlisted and the winners.”

The entries were judged by an independent panel comprising:

  • Lorraine Copes, founder and chief executive of Be Inclusive Hospitality
  • Jonny Garrett, co-founder of The Craft Beer Channel and chair of the British Guild of Beer Writers
  • Daisy Turnell, co-owner at Tipple Marketing
  • Andy Parker, founder of Elusive Brewing
  • Helena Adedipe, owner and co-founder of Eko Brewery
  • Anthony Adedipe, owner and co-founder of Eko Brewery

The winners in each category will be announced on 28th October 2025 in an awards ceremony taking place at Eko Brewery and Taproom, in London.

Tickets are on sale here, with a ‘pay what you can’ option for individual tickets, which aims to make the event accessible to as many people as possible.
