Registration for the World Beer Cup (WBC) is now open through December 13, 2024. Organized by the Brewers Association, the World Beer Cup takes place alongside the Craft Brewers Conference which is being held in Indianapolis April 28-May1, 2025.
In 2024, the WBC saw 9,300 entries from 2,060 breweries representing 50 different nations. The 2025 WBC will broaden to include cider submissions in six new categories.
“The World Beer Cup has stood as a pillar of the global brewing community since 1996, bringing together the craft, dedication, and ingenuity that define the best beers worldwide,” said Chris Williams, competition director. “As we approach the 2025 competition, I’m eager for another year of remarkable submissions from breweries, and now cideries, from all over the world. This year’s event promises to be unforgettable—get ready to witness global brewing at its finest!”
Winners of the 2025 WBC will be announced on May 1, 2025, at The Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. A live stream of the WBC awards ceremony will also be available via the Brewing Network.
