Some people don't just judge a competition โ they help define it. Steve Beal has been with us since the very start, bringing an unmatched dedication and depth of expertise that has left a lasting mark on everything we do. Though he won't be with us in person at this year's competition, his legacy is in every pour, every panel, and every medal awarded. We're thinking of you, Steve, and can't wait to see you virtually.
Hemp beverages are no longer on the fringe โ theyโre shaping the future of the drinks industry. From CBD-infused seltzers to non-alcoholic spirit alternatives, this fast-growing category is redefining flavor, function, and how we experience beverages. As innovation continues, weโre continuing to explore how these products fit into traditional tasting frameworks while holding them to the same high standards of sensory excellence.
โ ๏ธ Important for entrants: If submitting hemp beverages to an upcoming competition, all samples MUST have THC/CBD removed prior to shipment. Non-compliant samples cannot be accepted or evaluated by our judges.
