Now marking its tenth edition, CBCE has developed into an integrated industry platform for the craft beer sector in Asia. The event covers the full value chain, including raw materials, brewing equipment, finished beverages, brand development, distribution channels and consumer engagement. Around 400 exhibitors are expected to participate, positioning CBCE 2026 as a key meeting point for professionals across the craft beer and related beverage industries.
Exhibitors from more than ten countries and regions have confirmed their participation. Hall W1 will focus on equipment and ingredients, with international suppliers such as Yakima, AEB, Micro Matic, Krones, Anton Paar and Centec. Hall W2 will present craft beer and innovative beverages, featuring breweries and brands including Call Me Papa, Going Germin and Appenzeller. In addition, nearly 20 importers will showcase more than 100 international craft beer brands.
CBCE 2026 continues to expand its international reach on the visitor side. Alongside buyers from Europe and North America, the organisers are targeting delegations from Southeast Asia and East Asia, including Vietnam, Thailand, South Korea and Japan. International promotion activities aim to support connections between local producers and global markets.
The exhibition layout reflects full industry-chain coverage. Hall W1 brings together ingredients, brewing technology, testing equipment and dispensing systems, while integrating new elements designed to support a closed-loop approach from production to sales. Hall W2 focuses on the growing convergence of craft beer and innovative beverages. With more than 190 exhibitors confirmed—around 40% of them new participants—the hall will also include categories such as wine, sparkling wine, rice wine, cocktails and mixed juice drinks, alongside food-pairing concepts.
Beyond the exhibition, CBCE 2026 will host a comprehensive conference and event programme. The International Beer Brewing Summit 2026, organised jointly with the European Brewery Convention (EBC), Jiangnan University and Lanpu Academy, will address topics including brewing technology, sustainability, premiumisation, raw materials, packaging innovation and global market trends. Additional formats include the CBCE Commercial Conference, international beer tastings, and the Brussels Beer Challenge China Awards Ceremony and Gala Dinner.
CBCE 2026 aims to provide a platform for knowledge exchange, business development and international cooperation within the craft beer and innovative beverage industries.
