The Royal Queensland Food & Wine Show (RQFWS) has made its judgement for 2021, crowning Sydney Brewer Pilsner Draught the best beer in all of Australia out of over 480 entrants from 71 breweries.

“Pilsner is a hoppy lager, so we look for elevated hop intensity balanced with the rest of the beer,” explains Steve Henderson, Beer Awards judge and RQFWS Beer Advisory Group member.

“Since it’s a light style of beer it’s very difficult for the brewer to hide any faults and the team at Sydney Brewery has overcome this challenge.”

In addition to the title of best beer in Australia – more officially known as the Grand Champion Beer – Sydney Brewery also secured the honour of Champion Small/Medium brewery and Champion Lager for the very same pilsner; as well as receiving a $5,000 Lion Bursay for their business to “make their award-winning beer even better.”
