With registration recently closed, the ninth edition of the World Beer Cup® is anticipated to have a strong field of international participants. The total number of competition entries from outside the U.S. increased 28 percent over 2010; these non-U.S. entries represent 32 percent of the nearly 4,000 total entries in the 2012 competition.
Similarly, the judging panel has a very international flavor with 215 judges representing 29 countries.
