We've Been Busy Collecting Medals
The 2025 Untappd Community Awards have landed, and we're not going to pretend we're not absolutely thrilled with the results.
For those unfamiliar, the Untappd Community Awards celebrate the best-rated beers within each style, in each country - voted for entirely by the people drinking them. No judging panels, no industry insiders, no tickets to buy. Just real drinkers, rating real beers, honestly. That's what makes these awards mean something.
And this year? We cleaned up.

What This Actually Means
To put it in context: there are around 1,700 breweries currently operating in the UK. We're ranked 4th most awarded in the country.
Let that sink in for a second.
What's perhaps even more exciting than the number of medals is the range of them. From a crisp Italian Pilsner to a 19th century-inspired porter. From a sunshine-ready grapefruit radler to a rich, velvety milk stout. From gluten-free beers that punch well above their weight to hazy double IPAs brewed in collaboration with some of the best breweries in the world. This isn't a brewery with one trick up its sleeve — this is a brewery that genuinely loves every corner of the beer world and wants to do justice to all of it.
The People Behind the Pints
Awards like these don't happen by accident, and they certainly don't happen without an exceptional team.
Every medal on that list represents hours of recipe development, careful ingredient sourcing, meticulous process control, and an unwillingness to settle for "good enough." Our brewery team turns up every single day with a genuine drive to improve - to refine a mash temperature here, to adjust a dry hop schedule there, to question whether a beer can be even better than it was last time. That relentless pursuit of quality is baked into how we work, and these results are a direct reflection of it.
So to everyone at the brewery: this is yours. Thank you for caring as much as you do. It shows in the glass.
And To You - The Drinkers
These awards are decided entirely by the people drinking the beers, and that makes them uniquely meaningful to us. Every check-in, every rating, every review on Untappd contributes to results like these - and we don't take that for granted for a second.
If you've ever picked up one of our beers, cracked it open, and taken a moment to tell Untappd what you thought: thank you. You're part of this.
We'll keep pushing, keep experimenting, and keep trying to make beers worthy of your time and your honest opinion.
The full awards results for both our breweries are available at the links below. Go take a look - and if you spot a beer you haven't tried yet, well, now you have a reason.
