In this seventh edition, the festival strengthens the professional branch (MBF PRO), promoting three main events: MBF HUB (business), MBF Masterclass (education) and El Barrilito de Oro (recognition and friendly competitiveness).

Business – MBF HUB
The MBF has created a space dedicated exclusively to the professional world of craft beer called the MBF HUB. This space aims to connect to the various players in the industry, giving them the opportunity to schedule meetings customized during the days of the event. The purpose of this space is to promote the relationships required to provide greater opportunities for development in the craft beer industry in Panama and in the world.

Education – MBF Masterclass
Another great initiative that takes more and more strength is the MBF Masterclass. Through this platform, the MBF joins national and international experts, recognized worldwide in the world of craft beer, to impart knowledge to those who are engaged in the craft beer business or to whom have a general interest in knowing more about the subject.

Recognition and Friendly Competition – El Barrilito de Oro
In 2015 the MBF inaugurated the Barrilito de Oro Cup, a contest where national and international homebrewers have the opportunity to submit their homemade breweries before a recognized panel of highly recognized local and international judges. By 2019, the Copa Barrilito de Oro will open its doors for the first time before a professional and international platform, and expects to receive registrations from renowned breweries around the world. The organizers of the MBF seek to elevate this competition to become a stamp for Panama and the region, and join the platform of high caliber competitions and recognition globally. EL Barrilito de Oro is endorsed by the prestigious Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) of the United States United, and gives the contestants the opportunity to receive awards, recognition, and to position their beer creations high in the world of craft beer.
