Veteran Impact Meets Consumer Choice

The People's Pour Awards™ powered by The Bar Book combines industry analysis and consumer data insights with the mission-driven impact of C.R.A.F.T. Brewing & Distilling.

Together, we unite data, storytelling, and community support to spotlight exceptional brands while directly strengthening the veteran impact across the adult beverage and hospitality ecosystem.

What Are the People's Pour Awards™ — And Why C.R.A.F.T. Chose It

The People's Pour Awards™ is a modern recognition platform built around one simple belief: the best brands earn loyalty not just from judges — but from the people who drink them.

Designed to blend real consumer engagement with industry insight and data-driven analysis, the People's Pour goes beyond traditional award programs. It doesn't rely solely on closed-door panels or isolated tastings. Instead, it reflects authentic connection — the brands people discover, enjoy, and proudly share.

For C.R.A.F.T. Brewing & Distilling, that approach matters. This platform allows us to:

  • Elevate veteran-founded and veteran-supporting brands
  • Amplify real consumer voices and brand storytelling
  • Connect awards to workforce development and scholarship impact
  • Turn visibility into meaningful community growth

The People's Pour Awards™ is more than a competition. It's where consumer choice meets veteran impact — celebrating excellence in the glass while strengthening the community behind it.
