BestBrewChallenge 2026: Global Brewing Event Invites Participants to Craft Dark Wheat Beer

A worldwide brewing competition is going to unite home brewers and professional breweries once again this year. Within the scope of the BestBrewChallenge 2026, brewers from all over the world will brew a Dark Wheat Beer with BEST Wheat Malts and BEST Roasted Malts, after which all entries will be evaluated in a professional blind tasting. Registration for the international competition is now open.

A press release from BestBrewChallenge 2026 organizers announced that interested brewers can register by April 19, 2026, via the official website www.bestbrewchallenge.com.

After registration, participants will get to brew the dark wheat beer between April 20 and 26 and submit their beer creations by June 15.

BestBrewChallenge is considered the  world’s largest simultaneous community brewing event and is aimed at hobby brewers and  breweries of all sizes around the globe.  

This year, the challenge is to create the best Dark Wheat Beer, brewed exclusively with BEST Wheat Malts and BEST Roasted Malts.  

The beers will be evaluated in a blind tasting by a jury of professional sommeliers. Each beer  submitted will receive an individual sensory evaluation. To this end, three liters of the competition  beer must be submitted by June 15, 2026, at the latest. The winning beer will be brewed on a larger  scale and served at the BESTMALZ booth at BRAU Beviale in Nuremberg from November 10–12,  2026.

The BestBrewChallenge offers brewers the opportunity to demonstrate their creativity under  uniform conditions – from recipe development to the joint publication of brewing moments under  the hashtag #bestbrewchallenge.
