🏆 Copa de las Californias 2025
🍺 A new era for the beer community
The Copa de las Californias was born from the collaborative spirit of the regional beer scene. After years of growth and collaboration with the Pizza & Cheve Fest, the beer community decided to take it a step further.
The result? A international, competitive, and cultural festival that seeks to celebrate the best craft beers from both Mexican and American Californias, in a single meeting place: La Paz, Baja California Sur.
🌱 Evolution with a purpose
This new format is more than a name change.
It's the natural evolution of a movement that has matured:
- Many members of the BCS Brewers Club are becoming certified as BJCP judges.
- The community drives quality, professionalism, and creativity.
- The competition is designed with rigor and passion for beer.
🇲🇽 🇺🇸 One glass. Three regions. One spirit.
More than 40 independent breweries compete for recognition from the public and judges.
From Tijuana to San Diego, passing through Ensenada, Mulegé, and Los Cabos, this cup is the meeting point to taste, learn, and celebrate.
📍 La Paz, B.C.S.
With the sea in the background and the soul of beer at the forefront.
The La Paz boardwalk will be the setting for this sensorial celebration:
Beer, music, gastronomy, and community in a unique setting.
