Bengaluru, July 2026: The 7th edition of Brews & Spirits Expo 2026 is set to take place from September 9-11 at the KTPO Convention Centre, Whitefield, Bengaluru, bringing together over 100 domestic and international exhibitors across the alcobev value chain. The three-day event will feature a trade fair, conference, technical workshops, B2B meetings, masterclasses, a flair and mixology challenge and two industry awards ceremonies.
The expo’s flagship conference will be held under the theme “From Grain to Glass: Blend and Build Collaborate to Grow,” examining how stakeholders across the value chain from ingredient suppliers and maltsters to brewers, distillers, distributors and hospitality leaders can combine heritage with innovation to build more resilient businesses. Riyaaz Amlani, CEO and Managing Director of Impresario Handmade Restaurants, will deliver a special address during the conference inaugural session.
Two awards ceremonies will be held across the event’s first two days. The BBB Awards Best Brands in Brands Awards recognise the brands shaping India’s on-trade beverage landscape based on findings from the annual What India Drinks survey, which tracks what is actually being consumed across bars, hotel bars, pubs and hospitality venues in more than 20 cities. Unlike conventional awards based on public voting or jury deliberation, the BBB Awards are grounded in real consumption data from the trade. The ceremony will be held on September 9.
