CBC 2025 will also present BrewExpo America, the nation’s leading trade show for craft brewers featuring hundreds of exhibitors and a great opportunity for professionals to explore the newest products and services that the industry has to offer.
The Craft Brewers Conference will conclude in Las Vegas on May 1 with the awards ceremony for the 2025 World Beer Cup, the biggest and most prestigious beer competition in the world—coined the “Olympics of Beer.”
Developed in 1996 to celebrate the art and science of brewing, the now annual competition continues to generate global awareness about different beer styles and flavor profiles while promoting international brewing excellence.
Next year’s competition is expected to be unforgiving, as craft brewing continues to attract an even broader universe around the globe.
So mark your calendar beer pros, because the CBC is something you don’t want to miss.
The American Craft Beer crew had too much fun at last year’s CBC but we’re not apologizing for anything, and looking forward to connecting with all of you again this spring out in Indy.
