2024 USA Spirits Ratings is on track and will take place in San Francisco, California this July. For brands looking to gain wider recognition within the U.S. marketplace, the USA Spirits Rating event is a fantastic opportunity to get in front of the industry’s most influential tastemakers & trade buyers. Spirits entries will be judged by their Quality, Value, and Packaging.
To help promote the winners and the competition to the public the Beverage Trade Network has set up the Los Angeles Drinks Guide, New York Drinks Guide, and San Francisco Drinks Guide to keep those consumers interested in the latest drinks news, trends, products, and award winners. A new platform to also help promote the medal and trophy winners in each of the USA Ratings for wine, spirits, and beer. Winners will also be showcased all year round on Bartenders Business.
This emphasis on three different judging criteria rather than just one (e.g. quality or taste) is what sets the USA Spirits Ratings apart from other competitions. The goal is to identify the spirits that consumers actually want to buy on a retail shelf or order from a restaurant menu, and not just those spirits that are made with tremendous expertise and craftsmanship but without the end consumer in mind.
