Discover our unique approach to uncover quality.
Evaluation process
Monde Selection is committed to delivering the most impartial and independent evaluation. Each beer’s quality is meticulously assessed by a panel of independent, renowned experts using precise methodologies and criteria.
Eligible beer products span all styles, including pilsner, stout, wheat beer, IPA, negra, and preta. Before the evaluation, each product is presented to the jury, providing essential context such as origin, ingredients, composition, and any unique preparation methods.
The evaluation itself is conducted individually by each jury member, based on up to 25 specific quality criteria. After finalizing their individual assessments, the jury members discuss their impressions and reach a unanimous decision on the final result.
