The Society of Independent Brewers and Associates (SIBA) represents independent brewers across the UK, and all the winners of the Midlands & West Indie Beer Awards will now go on to the National Finals at the BeerX UK event in Liverpool, March 2025.

The judging took place at the Nottingham Robin Hood Beer & Cider Festival 2025 at Trent Bridge Cricket Ground, which continues today and over the weekend and where all of the award-winning beers will be on sale.
