Chris Bailey, bartender at the Mall in Clifton Village, Bristol, has been crowned UK Pilsner Urquell Master Bartender of the Year.
Bailey beat nine other finalists to win the title and the chance to compete in the global final in the Czech Republic.
This year over 1,000 UK bartenders entered the competition, up from 300 last year.
"We're delighted with the growing popularity of the competition and the calibre of the finalists this year," said Gillian Loudon of brand-owner Miller Brands.
"The standards were exceptionally high and it's great to see so much passion and professionalism in our industry."
