The winner may be bitter.
But the victory’s always sweet.

World Beer Cup
Developed in 1996, the World Beer Cup International Competition celebrates the art and science of brewing by recognizing outstanding achievement. This global competition creates greater consumer awareness about different beer styles and flavor profiles while promoting international brewing excellence. Every two years, a highly qualified professional panel of beer judges honors the top three beers in 91 categories with gold, silver and bronze awards. The World Beer Cup, often referred to as “The Olympics of Beer Competition,” is the most prestigious beer competition in the world.

Upstream is thrilled to have received three medals at the 2008 World Beer Cup.
