The 2026 World Beer Cup crowned 353 winners in Philadelphia, marking 30 years of the world's most prestigious beer competition. California ran away with 68 medals, Breakside Brewery hauled in five, Utah punched way above its weight, and Japan cemented itself as a global craft beer force. Here's who won, who surprised, and what the results tell us about where brewing is headed.

The Collective drank and did a lot in 2025, and it's time to give our flowers to the people, breweries, and beers that were particularly special, and deserve a spotlight! Welcome to the first annual, "HALL OF FOAM"!
