The prestigious World Beer Cup awards were announced at The Venetian Las Vegas on April 24th, 2024. The Brewers Association developed the World Beer Cup Competition in 1996 to celebrate the art and science of brewing internationally. Unlike the other big BA beer competition the Great American Beer Festival, the World Beer Cup awards beers from across the world not just in the U.S., with an international set of judges at what is referred to as “The Olympics of Beer Competitions.”
