MEET OUR TABLE CAPTAINS
The International Cider Challenge table captains are experienced cider professionals who are responsible for leading a team of judges to assess the ciders entered into the challenge. They collate the scores, manage the debates and provide essential feedback for entrants.
Our experienced and knowledgeable team of over 30 judges are tasked with evaluating the ciders for their aroma, taste, appearance, and overall quality. The International Cider Challenge judges have extensive knowledge of cider styles and production methods, and are able to provide an informed and unbiased assessment of each cider.
