International Participation Grows for 2012
With registration recently closed, the ninth edition of the World Beer Cup® is anticipated to have a strong field of international participants. The total number of competition entries from outside the U.S. increased 28 percent over 2010; these non-U.S. entries represent 32 percent of the nearly 4,000 total entries in the 2012 competition.
Similarly, the judging panel has a very international flavor with 215 judges representing 30 countries.
The mission of the World Beer Cup® is to create greater consumer awareness about the quality and diversity of beers brewed around the world.
Breweries from dozens of countries and six continents have won World Beer Cup awards. These prestigious awards are used to promote excellent beer being made around the world and to grow a following of enthusiastic beer lovers.
Judging takes place May 1-2, 2012. Awards will be presented at the World Beer Cup Gala Awards Dinner on May 5, 2012, during the Craft Brewers Conference in San Diego, California. Every entering brewery receives one complimentary ticket to the awards ceremony.
