Filing in Class 32
Beer is classified here with non-alcoholic drinks, not in Class 33 with wine and spirits — a genuine quirk of the Nice system that trips up beverage brands launching both a beer and a spirits line under related names, since they land in different classes despite both being alcoholic.
The USPTO charges a base application fee of $350 per class under the current fee schedule (as verified on 2026-07-07) — Class 32 is billed the same as every other class. Standard base fee under the 2025 fee schedule, filed via the USPTO Trademark Center. To keep that base fee, use pre-approved wording from the USPTO’s ID Manual to describe your goods rather than a custom description, which triggers a surcharge. See the full USPTO fee schedule for current figures.
In practice, businesses filing in Class 32 often also need Class 30 (Staple foods) and Class 43 (Food, drink & lodging) — run a search across all of them before filing, not just this one.
