It is the first group category in the awards, in contrast to the rest, which recognise individual careers.<\/p>\n<p>Am\u00e9lie Tassin, founder of Women in Beer\u00ae, stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It has been fantastic to see how these awards were received last year. But it also confirmed how necessary this kind of celebration is for the brewing industry. The support from the industry and beer lovers has been extraordinary, and I am very proud to bring the event back this year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Eleven Categories Open to the Whole Industry<\/h2>\n<p>The awards cover a broad spectrum of roles within the industry.
