Your Passport to the World Beer Cup: 2026 Consolidation Points

Four beer glasses of varying sizes

Thinking about entering the World Beer Cup but not sure how to ship your entries across the globe? Good news: we’ve streamlined the process so you can focus on what you do best—brewing world-class beer (and cider!).

To keep things simple, we’ve set up consolidation points in seven countries so you don’t have to ship your entries directly to the U.S. (unless you want to). Just send your entries to the nearest hub and register your brewery with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, and we’ll take care of the rest! 2026 consolidation points are located in:

  • Australia
  • Brazil
  • Canada (Eastern & Western regions)
  • Japan
  • The Netherlands
  • Mexico
  • The United Kingdom

Once your entries arrive at a consolidation point, our team handles the next leg of the journey, coordinating all shipping, customs clearance, and final delivery to our warehouse in Colorado. No surprise paperwork, no international freight puzzles, no late-night customs calls. Just smooth sailing for your beer all the way to the judges’ tables. Learn more about international shipping requirements here.
