British bars and bartenders feature in 2019 Mixology Bar Awards European categories
Mixology Magazine have released the nomination long-list for their 12th annual bar awards (we have no idea why these are called the 2019 awards, seeing as though they take place in 2018). Alongside GSA categories (Germany, Switzerland, Austria), the awards also feature pan-European categories, with Brits featuring prominently.
Twenty seven jury members from around the GSA and European regions are responsible for the nomination long list. A further round of voting will produce a short list in September, with the ultimate category winners being announced on the night of the Mixology Bar Awards in Berlin on October 7th.
Full details, including jury composition and voting process can be found on the Mixology website.
