Welcome to Craft Competition!

We bring together independently owned distilled Spirits, Beer and Wine from the top producers around the world. A competition focused on quality distillation and what’s inside the bottle, rather than packaging, marketing or quantity made. Making an excellent craft product takes blood, sweat and tears. Going the extra mile to be the best yet unique, whether it be organic, small batch, single barrel, block, gluten-free, low cal., high proof, handmade…Once these brands go to market competing against mega brands with multi-million dollar marketing campaigns seemed impossible, now through our Craft Competitions we make sure they get true recognition.

Our Goal

is to bring more attention to craft brands helping them become the fastest growing of all beverage categories. Sommeliers, mixology professionals and liquor storeowners have taken to the craft movement and agree that the craft brands segment will only get bigger year after year. The emerging demand in the marketplace for authentic craft products is here to stay, make sure your local liquor store or local bar order the brands you want or find another one that will, Cheers!
