Entries for the 2026 Washington Beer Awards need to be delivered between August 14th, 2026 and August 28th, 2026. Please check specific dates at back-up locations.  Breweries are encouraged to coordinate collaborative drop-offs for distant locations and may request contact information for nearby breweries from the competition organizers.

For all drop locations:

All entries must be contained in stackable cases (24x12 oz cases, 12x22 oz cases, can flats of 12 or 24 cans) and ensure they are clearly marked for the Washington Beer Awards. For can flats, they must be structurally sound (if the flat is less than full, there must be filler to ensure the cans don't fall out), to enable a pallet to be assembled by the drop location.
