And the award goes to…you! This base level sponsorship of the Texas Craft Brewers Cup includes your logo on the competition registration page, website, and emails to the brewers, as well as logo recognition on-screen during the awards ceremony.

This base level is available as a standalone OR included with any of the sponsorship options below.

Sponsor an opportunity for the competition judges and stewards to kick back and enjoy some food at a local watering hole after their first day of the competition on Saturday, January 29. This sponsorship offering includes the option to send up to four members of your team to the dinner to mingle, pass out swag, etc.

This sponsorship option also includes all logo recognition in the Base Level, including logo on the competition registration page, website, and emails to the brewers, as well as logo recognition on-screen during the awards ceremony.

Judges gotta eat and they’ll be thankful for your sponsorship! There are two lunch sponsorship opportunities during the competition judging–Saturday, January 29 & Sunday, January 30th–both at the judging hotel (Holiday Inn Austin Town Lake). This sponsorship option includes the ability to send up to four members of your team to the sponsored lunch to mingle, pass out swag, etc. and share some remarks at the beginning of lunch.

This sponsorship includes the potential to give up to a 30 minute lunch & learn presentation with pre-approval from Guild staff–please email Caroline prior to adding this sponsorship to your cart if this is something you’re interested in. Keep in mind while the majority of judges are seasoned professional brewers, some will be experienced homebrewers, retail beer buyers, suppliers, etc. For this reason, the lunch & learn opportunity is really best geared towards beer or ingredient education rather than a sales pitch on professional equipment, business services, etc.

This sponsorship option also includes all logo recognition in the Base Level, including logo on the competition registration page, website, and emails to the brewers, as well as logo recognition on-screen during the awards ceremony.

The Texas Craft Brewers Cup has 27 unique medal categories and a select three are available for sponsorship! Choose from a competitive category like American IPA, Hazy IPA, or Pilsner, or have fun with TCBC’s fully original Decadent Beer category. With this sponsorship, your company will receive full screen logo acknowledgment as presenting sponsor of the category during the awards ceremony on Feb. 12, and a representative from your company is invited to join onstage for that category’s medal presentations. (Categories can be claimed now or once registration closes and we know how many submissions are in each category. If you’re interested in this sponsorship option and have a category request, please email Caroline.)

Category sponsors also have the option to offer their own gift or prize to winners in their category (be it an equipment or ingredient prize, swag item, etc.) This is an optional enhancement and is subject to Guild approval to balance the value and appropriateness. Optional gifts or prizes are at the expense and coordination of the sponsor.

This sponsorship option also includes all logo recognition in the Base Level, including logo on the competition registration page, website, and emails to the brewers, as well as logo recognition on-screen during the awards ceremony.

After the Feb. 12 Annual Meeting adjourns–but before the Awards Ceremony begins–brewers will be invited to mingle in the reception area and trade show hall for some pre-celebration beers and bites. As an official reception sponsor, you’ll help us make sure brewers don’t go hungry before the big awards, and be thanked for your support in the Annual Meeting program, an on-stage announcement, and with signage in the reception.

Reception sponsors will also have the opportunity to activate in the reception area outside of the sponsor hall during this portion of the program. Whether you want to bring a stand-up banner or freestanding POS to be on display during the reception, spread some swag out on tables, or have another fun idea, feel free to work with Caroline to make sure you’re taking advantage of visibility opportunities during the reception.

This sponsorship option also includes all logo recognition in the Base Level, including logo on the competition registration page, website, and emails to the brewers, as well as logo recognition on-screen during the awards ceremony.

At the end of the awards ceremony, which breweries will reign supreme in the competition and hoist their very own Texas Craft Brewers Cups?

TCBC will have two Brewery of the Year awards–one small brewery and one midsize-to-large(ish) brewery (for more info on these groupings, see page 12 of the Competition Rules). With this sponsorship, your company will receive full screen logo acknowledgment as presenting sponsor of the Brewery of the Year awards during the awards ceremony, and a representative from your company is invited to join onstage to present the Cups to the two winning breweries.

With this sponsorship, you also have the option to offer your own gift or prize to the two Brewery of the Year Award winners (be it an equipment or ingredient prize, swag item, etc.) This is an optional enhancement and is subject to Guild approval to balance the value and appropriateness. Optional gifts or prizes are at the expense and coordination of the sponsor.
