Results have been announced at the United States Beer Tasting Championship (USBTC), which completed its 31st Annual Winter Competition this weekend.

A total of 550 beers were submitted for evaluation across 20 different categories at this year's event, with entries arriving from 176 breweries located across the country. Regional Champions were determined in 7 separate U.S. regions, then those beers were judged side-by-side to determine a Grand Champion in each style category.

North Texas breweries compete in the Rockies/Southwest Region, and it's notable the only area honoree, Oak Highlands Brewery, has continued to place at USBTC gatherings since 2016 - the year after the Dallas-based brewery opened. As for the company's winning recipes for 2025, Devil's Snare and Vanilla Porter have both been Regional Champions at the USBTC for three years in a row.
