World Beer Challenge 2026

16th Edition of the World Beer Challenge
It is with great enthusiasm that we launch the 16th Edition of the World Beer Challenge, one of the most prestigious international competitions dedicated to brewing excellence. Year after year, we bring together producers, experts, and enthusiasts from around the world to celebrate the
innovation, quality, and diversity that define the beer universe.

This edition introduces an important new feature: a complementary rating system designed to strengthen the connection between the event and its audience. In addition to the traditional distinctions awarded by a specialized panel, we now introduce a 1-to-5 star rating, based on the participation, interaction, and engagement with our official website. This new system allows participants and visitors to actively contribute to the visibility and
recognition of the brands, valuing not only product quality but also digital presence, communication, and the ability to generate public interest. All details about this process can be found in the attached information I With this initiative, we aim to bring the World Beer Challenge even closer to the global community of beer lovers, fostering a more dynamic, transparent, and inclusive dialogue.We wish all participants an excellent competition and invite the public to discover, rate, and celebrate with us the very best in the world of beer.
