The World Beer Cup, known as the “Olympics Of Beer Competitions”, is held every 2 years and capped off a full week of fun at the Craft Brewers Conference in Nashville this year.

This is described as the most prestigious beer competition in the world. Over 90 categories of beer are judged by 200+ judges. First, second and third place medals are awarded in each category.
