The United States of America is home to some of the world's best beer and ciders. American brews claimed most of the top prizes in their respective categories at the 2025 World Beer Cup. Brewers along the West Coast led the way in this year's World Beer Cup — which has been dubbed "the Olympics of beer." CRAFT BREWERS NAVIGATE RISING COSTS WITHOUT PASSING HEFTY PRICE HIKES TO CUSTOMERS The 2025 World Beer Cup attracted 8,375 entries from 49 countries. An international panel of judges rated beers across 112 categories to determine the medalists. Entries were evaluated based on style, color, appearance, aroma and flavor.

A total of 1,761 breweries or cideries participated in this year's event, which was in May.
