World Beer Cup 2014 - ocenenia
Aj keď výsledky boli oznámené už v apríli, nezaškodí si pripomenúť ocenené pivá, hlavne tie z Európy.
The Brewers Association (BA) v Denveri (Colorado, USA) vyhlásila víťazov v 94 pivných kategóriách, celkovo sa súťaže zúčastnilo 4754 vzoriek z 1403 pivovarov 58 krajín sveta. Pivá hodnotilo 219 rozhodcov z 31 krajín.
Kategória s najväčším počtom vzoriek - American-Style India Pale Ale s 223 pivami, druhou kategóriou American-Style Pale Ale s 121 pivami a treťou kategóriou Wood- and Barrel-Aged Strong Beer s 111 pivami.
Výber kategórií v ktorých brali ocenenia európske pivovary, resp. ich súťažné vzorky pív. Najviac bodovali nemecké, belgické a české pivá. Niektoré z nich opíšem v recenzii - degustácii.
