March 15, 2020 - San Francisco, USA.

Beverage Trade Network, the organizer of Bartender Spirits Awards said safety of our judges and our staff was top priority and it was best we delayed the competition by 3 months. The winners of the 2020 competition will now be announced on August 31, 2020.

“Whilst following government advice and what’s happening in USA and especially the pace of new state protocols coming up, we spent the last couple of weeks speaking with partners to assess the impact the outbreak would have on our event and what measures we could put in place in order to mitigate risks and deliver a safe, successful event for all,” Sid Patel, CEO of Beverage Trade Network said.

We truly understand that our entrants who submitted their spirits were excited to see the results on June 15, however in order to do the competition in its true merits which is having leading judges from all parts of the USA, we decided it was best to postpone the event and do it in August.
