World Beer Cup

The World Beer Cup℠ is an international beer competition organized by the Brewers Association, a trade group representing America's small and independent craft brewers. The majority of beers in the competition are from American brewers, and only beers that pay to enter are judged. It was founded by Association of Brewers president Charlie Papazian.

The World Beer Cup is held every two years in conjunction with the Craft Brewers Conference & BrewExpo America®. The first competition, held in 1996 in Vail, Colorado, featured 600 beers from 250 breweries. The 2016 World Beer Cup featured 6,596 beers from 1,907 breweries representing 55 countries. Entries were judged by an international panel of 253 judges from 31 countries.[1]

Fees

For the 2012 World Beer Cup, the entry fee was $150 per beer, in addition to delivering a free case of that beer to the venue.[2]
