In 2020, The Craft Beer Marketing Awards, affectionately known as “The Crushies,” made their debut. These awards encompass a diverse range of categories designed to recognize the pinnacle of craft beverage marketing and the brilliant teams and individuals who create them. We extend a warm invitation to breweries, artists, branders, marketing partners, and anyone involved in the project, to submit.
In 2021, the CBMAs embraced a global perspective, attracting entries from around the world in the realms of beer, hard seltzer, and cider. Contestants competed both regionally and internationally, marking the beginning of a tradition that has continued ever since. In 2023, we celebrated a record-breaking number of entries from across the globe, resulting in a spectacular array of winners!
In 2024, all categories exclusively vied for global recognition.
Global Crushies are bestowed to only the top winner of each category. Platinum and Gold Crushies will honor those in first and second place.
Our esteemed panel of beer, marketing, and design experts meticulously critique and numerically rank all entries ensuring a credible and transparent digital scoring process.
In 2025, the awards are expanding across all craft beverage types and adapting it’s name to Craft Beverage Marketing Awards. Stay tuned for our entries to open in January 2025 with our new look!
