What happens between the arrival of the beer and the tasting?

The delivered samples will be directly taken to refrigerated storage containers and stored according to the tasting schedule at 9 °C. In this way, we ensure optimal storage of the beers from the moment they are received.

Labeling

Label

Samples must contain the following information:

  • Sales label (Commercial Label), because only beers available for free sale can participate in the European Beer Star.
  • The Category number and the Registration number must be clearly visible on the bottle with an adhesive label. You will receive the registration number with your order confirmation after registration.

QR Code - IMPORTANT!

Next to the order confirmation, you will receive for each entered beer a ready-made label with a QR code for print automatically via Email. This label needs to be placed at the packaging of each submitted entry (not each sample!). The QR code will be scanned during beer reception. You can track within your user account conveniently if your beer has arrived at the European Beer Star.

Packing

Packing

The bottles must be delivered packed. To avoid breakage, it is recommended:

  • Place the bottles upright in a shipping carton.
  • Fill the spaces in the carton with packing material.
  • Label the carton "Fragile" and "This side up."

Avoid wooden crates as packaging for your beers!


Beer delivery from outside the EU

We strongly recommend that the beers should be shipped at an early stage. The worldwide disrupted logistics chains lead to greatly extended shipping and waiting times at the respective customs offices.

Please note: Breweries from outside the EU need an additional invoice for customs clearance with the following specifications of the beers sent:

Shipping to: DB Schenker (see above for address).

  • Beer brands
  • Number of bottles
  • Bottle content in ml
  • Alcohol level (ABV %)
  • Product value (e.g. € 1,00 / bottle or can)
  • Original gravity (°P)


If any of the above information is missing, there may be significant delays in customs clearance and arrival of the beers before the competition cannot be guaranteed. A sample invoice for free use can be downloaded here:

In order to keep the waiting time at the customs offices as short as possible, the organizers of the European Beer Star offer this year for the participants outside the EU an assistance for the shipment of the beers.

  1. Use the sample invoice and create a proforma invoice according to your registration.
  2. Send the proforma invoice to the customs expert for approval:

  3. After approval of the proforma invoice, ship the beers according to the above mentioned specifications.
  4. Important: Please attach the invoice outside the packaging visible to customs (e.g. attached with visual sleeves). Invoices placed inside may cause long delays.
