  • All beers must be mailed or delivered to the published drop sites on the Washington Beer Awards website.

Packing and Shipping

  • Wrap each entry in bubble wrap (please use scotch tape to tape the wrapping closed, not packing tape).
  • Separate each bottle with cardboard.
  • Place each entry in a separate container (for example, a six-pack of one entry or 4 pack of 22 oz entries). Make sure that every bottle from the same entry is in the same box. Do not ship bottles from a single entry in multiple boxes.
  • Use packaging materials to fill the rest of the box. Bubble wrap is preferred but if Styrofoam peanuts must be used, please put them in plastic bags first. Do not use shredded paper.
  • Wrap each entry box in a plastic bag in case of breakage. Place the entry boxes in a strong shipping box.
