Meet our judges

The China Beer Competition boasts of having the most highly qualified and trained panel of Beer buyers and Beer experts who are based in mainland China.

As the mission and philosophy of the China Beer Competition is to award Beers by quality, value and package for the China market, all our judges are from mainland China who understands the Chinese palate.

The goal, quite simply, is to gain cross-industry recognition for Beers that Chinese consumers actually want to drink.
