Birell has been evaluated as the best non-alcoholic beer in the Czech Republic by tasters from the country’s breweries and from the Research Institute of Brewing and Malting (RIBM).

A brewer’s event took place earlier this week in Brno, south of the Czech Republic, where results from the 18th annual tasting competition called Zlaty Pohar Pivex (Pivex Gold Cup) were announced.

Birell won second place in the non-alcoholic beer category at last year’s competition but beat five other brands this year to win the gold medal.

“Birell is one of the best non-alcoholic beers in the Czech Republic. That is why we are pleased that not only consumers but also professionals once again confirmed Birell’s unique taste and quality,” stated Vladimir Vanek, brand manager of Birell.

Last year, SABMiller claimed that Radegast Birell accounted for two out of three non-alcoholic beers sold in the Czech Republic, with its production for the Czech Republic exceeding 320,000 hl in 2008.
