Commenting on the new award, Brian Pegnall, chief executive of the Institute and Guild of Brewing, said: "We are delighted that Oxoid has chosen to provide an award for improvements in quality and hygiene. This is a very important area of our industry, but one that often gets taken for granted. The IGB fully endorse the award's aims and are pleased to have two IGB representatives on the judging panel. We are very much looking forward to seeing the first year's entries."
