      Leveraging awards

      Participation in Irish and international beer and spirits competitions can bring substantial credibility
      to the liquids that you are producing. It can also provide you with PR opportunities to talk about your
      brand with consumers and customers. Many award winning brands also choose to relect the awards
      they win on their labels and packaging to demonstrate their commitment to quality.


      There are a growing number of such awards to choose from around the world. Here’s a selection of
      industry regarded awards shows and competitions. You would be wise to make your own inquiries,
      some competitions can be costly to enter and not all enjoy the respect of the key industry informers
      such as bloggers, bar tenders, retail chain customers, and knowledgeable consumers.
