2018 World Beer Cup Winners, Photos & Recap

 I just got back from the 2018 World Beer Cup Awards held this year in Nashville by the Brewers Association and have the full winners, photos, and recap. It was a very quick and fun ceremony as compared to the overly long GABF awards, and this year was the biggest to date with 8,234 entries from 66 countries. The international aspect is what sets it apart from the Great American Beer Festival competition.23 medals were awarded to Oregon breweries, 11 Gold medals, 8 Silvers medals and 4 Bronze medals.Oregon did very well as usual, though the overall winners show that brewers across the world are getting better and there is less domination than there used to be. Still, perpetual winner of the last few years Breakside Brewery had another great World Beer Cup with a Gold Medal for Lunch Break ISA, a Silver Medal for Wanderlust IPA, and a Silver Medal for Old World IPA which means they are still the kings and queens of IPA.Perhaps the real Oregon star of the show was Old Town Brewing, the little unsuspecting brewery that could. Old Town Brewing walked away with a second Gold Medal in the English-style IPA category for Shanghai'd IPA and then perhaps more surprisingly another Gold Medal for Pilsner in Historical Beer category. This pizza pub turned brewery has surprised everyone with a commitment to quality that's lasted through multiple head brewers.AB/InBev-owned 10 Barrel Brewing is also still knocking it out of the park, no matter what you think of its parent company. The company won Gold in Berliner-Weiss and Silver in Fruit Wheat Beer prove it.We also cant ignore Pelican, Great Notion, Gigantic, Stormbreaker, Three Creeks, Golden Valley, Public Coast, pFriem, Oakshire, Elk Horn, Logsdon Farmhouse Ales, and other great Oregon brewers wins. We will have to come back with more recap and analysis later because now it's time to party. Check back for updates and here is some more stats from the Brewers Association.


Beers were judged during six sessions over a period of three days by an elite panel of 295 judges from 33 countries—72 percent of whom were from outside the United States. Judges evaluated 8,234 beers—a 25 percent increase in the number of entries from the 2016 World Beer Cup. Of the 2,515 participating breweries, 807 were from outside the United States.Out of a possible 303 awards in 101 beer style categories, 302 were awarded. One gold award was not given in Category 36, International-Style Pilsener.“Beer brings people together,” said Charlie Papazian, founder and past president, Brewers Association. “The World Beer Cup showcases the breadth of the global brewing community and winning an award symbolizes one of the greatest brewing achievements. Congratulations to all the winners on this remarkable accomplishment.”
