The Craft Beer Marketing Awards was established in 2019 to give recognition to the best of the best in the marketing realm of the brewing industry. With categories that range from the “Best Can Design” to “Coolest Taproom” and “Best Website Design” to “Best Use of Social Media,” there’s an opportunity to showcase the best work in every area of marketing in the brewing industry across the world. CBMAS is the only global awards competition to recognize and celebrate the importance of craft beer artwork, culture, retail marketing and design efforts as a key to success in this highly competitive marketplace. This year a judge panel of over 500 industry professionals from over 24 countries around the world have evaluated entries in over 30 categories from around the globe.

Winners in each category are awarded a CBMAS Crushie Award. Winners can upgrade their win with a Crushie Trophy designed by the same Manhattan-based awards company that creates the Emmy, Golden Globes and the MTV Moonman. Platinum and Gold Crushies will be awarded to winners in each region. Global Crushies will be awarded to winners who opt-in to be judged at a global level in addition to their regional entry.
