The 2026 CBC commemorative beer is a single malt, single hop lager, often referred to as a SMaSH beer. Clean, focused, and intentionally simple in structure, the beer showcases both ingredient quality and technical precision.

It features Spalter Select hops, donated by IGN Hopfen, delivering herbal, grassy, and gently hoppy aromatics. Bestmalz Heidelberg Malt, provided by The Country Malt Group, was selected for its exceptional performance in pale lagers. At 4.7% ABV, the beer offers a crisp, highly drinkable profile designed for industry colleagues to enjoy together.

The result is a pale lager that highlights raw ingredient excellence and brewing craftsmanship - an expression of the care and collaboration that define the American brewing industry.

You can get a first taste starting April 20th when it’s on exclusive tap at Yards in limited first come first serve supply.

Congrats to the Yards team and welcome to Philt and Northern Liberties to CBC attendees!
