About the company
The Brewing, Food & Beverage Industry Suppliers Association/International Brewing Awards
The Brewing, Food & Beverage Industry Suppliers Association is a British trade association which mainly lobbies on behalf of the companies supplying the brewing industry. Its commercial arm, the Brewing Technology Services Ltd, runs the International Brewing Awards.
In 2019 the International Brewing Awards gave awards to lagers owned by two military-owned companies. Awards were given to Myanmar Premium and Kirin Ichiban, manufactured by the military joint venture Myanmar Brewery, and Dagon Extra Strong Lager Beer, manufactured by Dagon Beverages Company Ltd, another military joint venture company. Receiving such awards is part of these companies efforts to promote their lagers and increase profits.
