A Pitch Competition for Beer and Beyond
The Brewbound Live Pitch Slam is back. This high-energy, fast-paced competition is a launchpad for early-stage adult beverage brands pushing the boundaries of beer, RTD cocktails, THC beverages, and beyond.
This year’s format has been reimagined to match the pace of Brewbound Live 2025. We’re bringing six standout finalists to the main stage on Day 1 for a condensed, high-impact showdown that maximizes exposure and aligns seamlessly with the event’s editorial programming.
If you’re building the next great brand in adult beverage, this is your moment.

- Six Finalists: Fewer brands, more focus. Each finalist is hand-selected to reflect innovation, momentum, and market potential.
