16 | Summer 2024 | ontapmag.co.za SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONAL BEER TROPHY RESULTS The South African National Beer Trophy is an annual event that brings together brewers, judges, sommeliers, and beer lovers from across the country. In partnership with the Beer Association of South Africa (BASA), the awards recognise local excellence in the art of brewing while also promoting the growth and responsible development of the local beer industry. On the evening of November 27, 2024, the results were announced at a Black- Tie event held at the Southern Sun Cullinan Hotel in Cape Town. Head organiser JV Ridon and his son, William Ridon, presented the Gold and Silver awards, accompanied by Charlene Rouw, CEO of BASA, for the Best of Show. A three-course meal was served to attendees, which included a beer-pairing. As Ridon himself pointed out in his opening remarks, people often associate wine – and not beer – with such formal events, however, this is an assumption that must become a thing of the past.
