CBC 2025 – It’s not an IndyCar race, it’s a marathon!
Indy-pendent brewers | The Craft Brewers Conference and BrewExpo America, the largest gathering in the US for the beverage alcohol industry, was held from April 27 to May 1 in Indianapolis this year, a city that one might fly over on a trip within the US – but definitely shouldn’t! Even though this year’s CBC was a less buoyant and euphoric affair than previous ones had been pre-Covid, the attendees, exhibitors, vendors, suppliers, presenters and, of course, World Beer Cup award winners nevertheless found reasons to be optimistic, while circumspect, about the future of the industry. This year’s CBC offered 60+ educational seminars in 12 areas, and 550+ exhibitors displayed innovative products and services at the BrewExpo America. The conference concluded with the awards ceremony for the World Beer Cup, the world’s most prestigious beer competition.
