World Beer Cup

This tiny brewpub on California’s Central Coast recently put the beer world on notice when, at the World Beer Cup, it pulled off what should have been impossible—then very nearly did it again at GABF. Here’s how it happened.

From diversity at CBC to a brewery-led market hall with pet groomers, here are some happenings and announcements from around the industry.

The new vaccination requirement includes all participants and attendees of the Craft Brewers Conference and Great American Beer Festival.

Breweries worldwide have until November 10 to register for entry into the 2022 World Beer Cup, with beer samples due in March.

As coronavirus spreads, the Brewers Association has called off the CBC, World BrewExpo trade show, and World Beer Cup out of caution.

So far, the Brewers Association says the CBC and World Beer Cup will move forward. Meanwhile, the BA has published best-practices guidelines for breweries during the pandemic.
