The USBG is a national and international network of beverage professionals from every aspect of the beverage industry. Our primary focus is to elevate the craft of the cocktail through education, hand crafted cocktail competitions & working relationships with liquor companies from all corners of the world.
All USBG members pay annual dues of $100 every 12 months. We are a non-profit organization and your membership dues and liquor company's sponsorships go towards competitions, events, tastings, supporting charitable organizations, and educating our members on their changing, competitive beverage industry.
