3. Light Hybrid Beer, Amber Hybrid Beer (7 entries)
4. Standard/Ordinary Bitter, Best Bitter (25 entries)
5. ESB (24 entries)
6. Scottish and Irish Ale, English Brown Ale (7 entries)
7. American Pale Ale (24 entries)

16. Sour Ale, Fruit Beer, Spice/Herb/Vegetable Beer (9 entries)
17. Smoke-Flavoured and Wood-Aged Beers (8 entries)
18. Specialty Beer (11 entries)

Categories have been combined to give a minimum of 6 entries per category, but left so that combinations are sensible and beers get a fair judging alongside each other. ESB and APA have been disaggregated from the top-level category as they received large entry's in comparison to other styles.

First place beers from the above will advance to the Best of Show Round.
