United States Bartenders' Guild - USBG, Tales of the Cocktail Foundation Announce New Partnership

The initial collaboration will happen in parallel with Tales of the Cocktail 2026 in New Orleans, July 19-24. There, a champion will be crowned in the inaugural United States Cocktail Championship (USCC) National Final.

Launched in 2026, the USCC is a nationwide competition designed to identify, elevate, and celebrate American bartending talent—from local communities to the global stage. Through this program, USBG selects Team USBG, the bartenders who will represent the United States in competition against the top bartenders from more than 70 countries on the global stage at the International Bartenders Association IBA World Cocktail Competition (WCC) in Macau, China and IBA Invitational competitions throughout the year across the continents.

Said USBG Executive Director Bo Shuff, “Tales of the Cocktail Foundation, through their events, education and awards serves a vital role in building the beverage and hospitality community worldwide. Our work at the US Bartender’s Guild dovetails with those efforts by strengthening communities city by city, region by region. We’re thrilled to collaborate with Tales on expanding the stories we collectively share about the people who make our community what it is.”

Tales of the Cocktail Foundation Executive Director Charlotte Voisey commented, “We are pleased to be collaborating with the USBG in ways that ultimately provide greater access for more bartenders to the educational experiences that can further their professional development.”
