Raise a glass for california craft beer – literally
Celebrate California Pint Day on Friday, July 17, 2026 — the kickoff to California Craft Beer Week! California Pint Day is a way for craft beer fans to give back, by showing up, raising a glass, and sharing the moment with the people around them. Each year will feature a new, custom-designed glass that celebrates the art, culture, and creativity of California’s craft beer community.
This year, in honor of California hosting the FIFA World Cup, we’re raising a glass to the global game with a special soccer-themed design!
Participating breweries across the state will release the second annual limited-edition California Pint Glass, available to the public the same weekend as the World Cup Finals. It’s the perfect way to celebrate, whether you’re cheering on your team or just enjoying the weekend with your friends and family.
The 2026 California Pint Day glass was designed by Kilian McMann, owner, designer, and illustrator for the Sacramento-based design company, Great Raven Design Co. Here are a few words from the artist himself!
I was stoked to score another Pint Day Glass design with the CCBA, this time headed full tilt into the World Cup theme! I dribbled–I mean scribbled–some sketches out, shot over my ideas, and they said to run with it! My goal was to create some kick ass artwork that fans would enjoy, and I had a ball doing it. Cheers!
