There doesn't seem to be a prize, or have I missed it?

I don’t think there are prizes, you get feedback and if you win - Glory!!

I’m interested to see what feedback you get from CAMRA!

Not got any feedback as yet but I’ve just been told I was awarded gold in the Premium Bitters category. #Chuffed!

Looked a serious panel of judges too.

Of course being CAMRA they haven't actually announced anything on the GBBF website, but the class winners are on Twitter :

The 16.1% stout won overall, followed by the mild and the gose. There's some interviews in this article, which continues to perpetrate the myth that homebrewing costs less money in the long run....

https://www.theguardian.com/food/20...e-brew-contest-at-great-british-beer-festival
"Folland said the secret to his winning beer’s flavour was leaving it to mellow for five years."

Given that the prize is to brew the recipe commercially with Brewhouse & Kitchen, I'm sure they're delighted to have ended up with a 16.1% beer that needs 5 years to come round....

The Thank Brew winner is a bit of a nonsense at 4.2% given that it was specified that it was meant to be 3.5% - the original idea was a flexible recipe that Adnams promoted to be brewed by different breweries around the country as a charity beer for the Jubilee :

Well done @Hazelwood Brewery !

... I was wondering about finding a decent recipe for a best/premium bitter to brew next month

I was thinking the same

Very pleased to have won the British & New World IPAs category with Sand Dollar. Interestingly this was our first West Coast IPA, which we brewed for the recent Elusive/MM comp (with less success!) and adapted the format for this comp (had to be glass bottles and bottle conditioned).
