TIBA 2025 Updated

2 days after the ‘Thailand International Beer Awards‘ was announced, the Thai Craft Beer association released updated information on TIBA 2025.

Information was provided in Thai and English; dates and pricing were provided for those wanting to enter their beer into the competition; and the requirement that any beer must be produced by a legally licensed brewery was made clear. This will certainly limit the local producers as the Thai alcohol laws remain in flux.

Dates have been given for the following:

• Registration: April 5th to the 30th
• The beer is needed to arrive: May 25th to the 31st
• Judging of the beer: June 7th & 8th
