Once again, the brew-tiful world of beer took centre stage at this year’s SIBA BeerX, held on 13th and 14th March at the lively Liverpool Exhibition Centre, and Saxon Packaging (part of the Smurfit Kappa Group) was right at the heart of it. BeerX is the ultimate playground for industry players to connect, brew up brilliant ideas, and toast to the magic of craft brewing.
Saxon Packaging has been rocking the BeerX scene for years, and 2024 was no exception. It was a joyous occasion for our team of beer packaging experts to reunite with familiar faces and immerse themselves in the dynamic atmosphere of the brewing community.
For those unfamiliar, SIBA BeerX is not just an event; it’s a showcase of excellence, shining a spotlight on the legends and game-changers in the industry. One of the highlights is undoubtedly the SIBA Business & Brewing Awards, recognising the trailblazers and trendsetters in the independent brewing sector. As proud silver members of SIBA, we’re over the moon to be able to support such initiatives that uplift and celebrate the industry’s finest.
This year, we were honoured to extend our support by sponsoring the below awards categories:
–        Bottle & Can – Amber, Brown & Red Ale Category
–Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Best Commercial Achievement.
The competition was fierce, reflecting the ever-evolving landscape of craft brewing in the UK. Nevertheless, the winners stood out for their dedication, creativity, and unwavering commitment to quality.
Huge congratulations to Keswick Brewing Co for their Bottle & Can – Amber, Brown & Red Ale Category win. And, to Wye Valley for their win of Best Commercial Achievement!
