Shropshire Brewers' Challenge Cup

The Shropshire Brewers’ Challenge Cup is an award given at each Shrewsbury Beer Festival to the best beer of the festival.

The beers are judged by a tasting panel, which may consist of branch members, publicans, and regional CAMRA representatives.

The winning brewery gets to keep the trophy for a year, in addition to a framed winner’s certificate and bragging rights!
