PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A PAID ENTRY CATEGORY AND IS NOT OPEN TO PUBLIC VOTING.
Who should enter? Breweries based in Kent producing beer made predominantly from Kent-grown hops. All styles are welcome - from pale ales and IPAs to stouts, lagers and session beers. If you're a Kent brewer proud of your hops, this is your category.
How will this category be judged? Every entry is blind taste tested by a panel of expert judges drawn from across the food and drink sector, including chefs, buyers and food writers - and every entrant receives feedback from the panel.
How much does it cost to enter? Entry fees are £30 plus VAT for Produced in Kent members and £50 plus VAT for non-members.
Judging criteria: Character, taste, appearance, aroma and drinkability. Judges will also consider how the product has been branded and marketed, and any key points of difference that set it apart.
