Who’s shaping the Northwest beverage industry? Nominate a 2025 SIPfluencer!

by | Dec 3, 2025

As we reflect on our 15 years in publishing, we’re looking back on what’s always been at the heart of Sip: it’s about more than the beverages. It’s about the people behind the bottle, and sharing their stories to build a deeper connection across our local craft community.

With that spirit, we’re excited to announce that our upcoming 2026 Annual print issue will spotlight SIPfluencers. Standout individuals making an impact across the beverage industry.

So, who are SIPfluencers?
They’re innovators, changemakers, pioneers, disruptors, and educators. They aren’t defined by age or novelty, but by the influence they’ve had (or are having) on their corner of the industry.

You can nominate an individual or a “partner” duo who has created meaningful change. (“Partner” can refer to those connected through marriage, friendship, collaboration, or a unique business partnership but not a full team.)

Chances are, you already know someone who fits. Now’s your chance to nominate them. (And yes, you can nominate yourself!)

Deadline to submit: JANUARY 9
Longtime Sip contributors will review nominations and select the final list of individuals to be featured in the magazine.

Submit your nomination here.

Meet our 2024 SIPfluencers here.
