As the craft brewing community makes its annual pilgrimage to CBC & BrewExpo America®, Briess is gearing up for what promises to be an awesome conference! This year’s CBC, hosted in the vibrant and historic city of Philadelphia, is the perfect backdrop for a milestone moment in our journey: Briess’ 150th Anniversary.
Here’s what you can look forward to from Briess at CBC 2026 in Philadelphia.
Visit Briess at Booth #2414: Where Heritage Meets Innovation
Briess has been part of the craft brewing community from the very beginning, starting with the game-changing launch of 50-pound bags of specialty malt in the early 1980’s. That dedication to our customers has never wavered. This year, at Booth #2414, we invite attendees to explore that legacy firsthand.
Our team of maltsters, sensory experts, and technical specialists will be on hand throughout the event to discuss brewing challenges, recipe formulation, specialty malt applications, flavor development, and new product ideas. Whether you’re a long-time Briess customer or a first‑time visitor curious about integrating our malts into your lineup, we’re excited to connect.
And let’s be honest: we know the quickest way to talk malt is through a glass of beer…
Four Amazing Beers on Tap Every Day
We’re thrilled to feature four exceptional beers on tap every day, each crafted to highlight the specialty malts that elevate a beer’s body, aroma, and depth of flavor. These beers will showcase the versatility and expressiveness of specialty malts, ranging from rich and decadent to bright and balanced. Here’s this year’s All-Star lineup:
Celebrating 150 Years of Briess: A Legacy Built on Quality, Service, and Innovation
Reaching 150 years as a fifth-generation, family‑owned business in the brewing industry is no small milestone. For Briess, it’s both a celebration and a testament to the importance brewers place on quality ingredients.
Since our earliest days malting barley in the Czech Republic in the late 1800s, our commitment has always been the same: give brewers the best possible tools to create unforgettable and consistent beers. Over time, we’ve continued to expand our expertise, invest in innovation, and deepen our relationship with craft brewers of all sizes, from local startups to national brands.
Being part of the larger brewing community is a privilege, and at this year’s CBC, we want to raise a glass to everyone who has made this milestone anniversary possible.
