The USBG 2008 National Cocktail Competition & 60th Year Anniversary Celebration May 2 - 4th in Long Beach CA
2008 is the 60th Year Anniversary of the United States Bartenders’ Guild! Please mark your calendar for the event of the year!
Welcome to the USBG!
With almost 60 years of presence in the United States and International coverage in affiliation with the International Bartender’s Association (IBA) in over 50 countries, the United States Bartenders' Guild is the largest network of professional bartenders and is setting the standard for the profession throughout the country. The U.S.B.G. is a non-profit organization founded in 1948 and registered a non-profit organization in 1967 in Southern California. Over the past five years the guild has expanded nationally to Northern California, Las Vegas, Chicago and New York City, and continues to grow.
With the resurgence and increasing popularity of the cocktail, there is a high demand for creative and professional bartenders. Bars are using higher quality spirits and mixers as well as fresh fruits and juices and hiring knowledgeable and imaginative bartenders to create and serve them. As an industry leader the U.S.B.G. is responsible for keeping our members in line with current trends to keep a competitive edge.
The U.S.B.G. is an association of bartenders who come together to share their common interest: the craft of mixology.
Our Guild is made up of exceptional bartenders who take great pride in the cocktails we serve. At every opportunity we use only the freshest ingredients and quality spirits to craft a well balanced, professional product.
