Regional winners have been announced at the 30th Annual Summer Competition of the United States Beer Tasting Championship (USBTC).

As is the norm for this event, submitted beers were evaluated across 18 different style categories, with judges singling out Regional Champions first (North Texas breweries compete in the Rockies/Southwest region). Within style groups, regional winners then compete side-by-side to determine a Grand Champion for each category. This final round is still pending, with results to be released in early August. 

Local honorees include Celestial Beerworks and Oak Highlands Brewery, both of Dallas. Oak Highlands has made regular appearances on this list since 2016, while Celestial Beerworks is receiving USBTC recognition for the first time.
