Independent Northern Irish Brewery Named “World’s Best” at 2025 World Beer Awards

Randalstown, County Antrim, 21st August 2025 — Our Brewery, a small, independent brewery from Randalstown, Northern Ireland has won 12 medals at the 2025 World Beer Awards, including two ‘World’s Best’ titles. 

The awards tally included seven golds for ‘Best in Ireland’ plus one silver and four bronze medals in the national category.

From thousands of entries from all over the globe, Our Brewery’s Low Land, a rich and tart Flanders-style Oud Bruin, and Seasur, a bright and lightly acidic mixed fermentation Saison triumphed. Both were named best in Ireland, and Best in the World by the elite panel of judges, chaired by esteemed beer writer Pete Brown.

Our Brewery co-founder Johnny Mitchell said that the awards success is “beyond anything we imagined.”

“We set out to brew world-class beer as a genuine passion project. To have our work recognised on the world stage is both humbling and exhilarating. These awards belong to our whole team and the community who have supported us from day one.”

“We operate in one of the most challenging licensing environments in Northern Ireland. Hopefully, this achievement not only highlights the quality of beer being brewed here but also sparks conversations about much-needed licensing reform,” Mitchell added. 

The wins at the World Beer Awards follows on from Our Brewery’s recent success at the Great Taste Awards, where it picked up 11 awards, including three prestigious ‘Three Star’ prizes. Two of these beers are now in the running for a Golden Fork Award, one of the top accolades in food and drink.

Combined these awards make Our Brewery one of the most decorated breweries in the world in 2025. That this is done from a small brewery in rural County Antrim is testament to the hard work, skill and dedication of our brewing team.
