Global sales of beer may be experiencing a downtrend, but brewers' quest for recognition isn't. The 2006 Brewers Association's World Beer Cup competition in Seattle drew 2,221 entries from 540 breweries in 56 countries, a 42% growth in entries from 2004 which was the previous record holder.
Breweries from the United States, Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, England, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Netherlands, Paraguay, Romania, Russia and Trinidad received awards.
The award for Mid-Sized Brewing Company went to Firestone Walker Brewing Co. of Paso Robles, CA, and brewmaster Matthew Brynildson who also won in 2004. The award for Large Brewing Company went to Miller Brewing Co. of Milwaukee and brewmaster Dr. David S. Ryder who also won in 2004. The award for Large Brewpub went to Russian River Brewing Co. of Santa Rosa, CA, and brewmaster Vinnie Cilurzo who also won this award in 2004. The award for Small Brewpub went to Piece Brewing Co. of Chicago and brewmaster Jonathan Cutler. The award for Small Brewing Company went to by Brauerei Michael Plank of Laaber, Germany, and brewmaster Michael Plank.
