Pinter’s International Backyard Bar Awards: A Celebration of Creativity and Craft
Build your best bar!
At Hop Culture, we’ve always celebrated the art and science of beer, and there’s nothing more satisfying than crafting your own brew. This year, Pinter, the revolutionary brand transforming home beer brewing, is taking this passion to a whole new level with the launch of the International Backyard Bar Awards.
Imagine designing, naming, and brewing your own beer right from your backyard bar. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, offered by Pinter, is set to crowdsource a one-time master brewer from among home entertainment enthusiasts across the UK and USA. The contest boasts an all-star judging panel, including two-time Brewer of the Year Jaega Wise, Ooni co-founder Kristian Tapaninaho, and Havas Creative Network President Myra Mazzei Nussbaum.
Participants are invited to showcase their unique home bar spaces for a chance to win an incredible prize pack, including a $10,000 cash prize. But that’s not all. The ultimate winner will also receive the opportunity to brand and produce their very own beer with Pinter.

The contest invites participants to submit a photo of their bar and their chosen beer name. From these submissions, a shortlist of entries will be selected to go head-to-head in a combined public and judges’ vote, ultimately crowning one global winner.
The grand prize?
The international winner will take home the $10,000 cash prize plus an ultimate garden swag bundle. This includes an Ooni pizza oven, four Pinters to share with friends, and incredible merch from breweries like Appalachian Mountain Brewery, Signature Brew, and Sycamore Brewery, perfect for enhancing any backyard bar experience.
But the most coveted prize is the opportunity to design, name, and brew your own beer with Pinter. Ralph Broadbent, co-founder and chief executive of The Greater Good Fresh Brewing Company, which makes the pioneering Pinter product, emphasizes that the competition is about more than just the biggest or shiniest bars. It’s about what makes your bar truly special. “We want to hear your stories and find out what makes your bar distinctive,” says Broadbent. “This is a chance to leave a lasting legacy in the world of beer.”
So, whether you have a cozy nook with a few bar stools or a sprawling backyard with a full bar setup, Pinter’s International Backyard Bar Awards is your chance to shine.
