The 2025 World Beer Cup, held in Indianapolis and organized by the Brewers Association, once again proved to be the premier global showcase for brewing excellence, drawing 8,375 entries from 1,761 breweries and cideries across 49 countries. Judged by 265 international experts over seven intensive days, the competition awarded 349 medals across more than 100 style categories. Standout performers included hazy and West Coast IPAs, which dominated the most-entered categories with 290 and 253 submissions, respectively. Gold medals went to innovative standouts like Shifted Visions from Everywhere Beer in Orange, California, for Juicy or Hazy India Pale Ale, and Mosaic Takedown from Pinthouse Brewing in Austin, Texas, for West Coast-Style India Pale Ale.
These victories highlight the continued evolution of hop-forward styles, blending tropical fruit intensity with crisp bitterness to captivate modern palates. Smaller breweries and classic styles also earned well-deserved recognition in the 2025 results, demonstrating the competition’s broad scope and commitment to quality across the spectrum. Notable golds included crisp, refreshing lagers like Haha Pils from Arbeiter Brewing Co. in Minneapolis and creative fruit-infused offerings such as Mango Cart from Golden Road Brewing. The event celebrated technical precision, flavor balance, and creativity, with American breweries claiming many top spots while international entries added diversity to the medal tally. The 2025 World Beer Cup winners collectively raised the bar for craft brewing, inspiring both industry professionals and beer enthusiasts to explore the incredible range of excellence now available worldwide.
