BREWTAILS Cocktail Competition 2026

The ultimate cocktail showdown returns.
Welcome to the Columbus Brewtails Cocktail Competition 2026.

Join us on Wednesday, June 24th at Edison Brewing Company for a summer night of cocktails, creativity, and competition. Local breweries will go head-to-head, each crafting one signature cocktail using a Noble Cut Distillery spirit as the base—paired with a unique element from their own brewery. Think house-made syrups, beer floats, hop infusions, foams, and more. Every drink is a true reflection of the brewery behind it.This isn’t your typical cocktail event—it’s where craft beer meets cocktail culture.As you sip your way through each creation, you’ll cast your vote. The top three crowd favorites will advance to the final round, where they’ll compete live in front of a celebrity judge panel for the title of 2026 Brewtails Champion.Your ticket includes entry (21+) and a sample of every competing cocktail.
