Small Randalstown Brewery Wins Two “World’s Best” Titles at the 2025 World Beer Awards


Randalstown, County Antrim – 14 August 2025 –

A small independent brewery in rural Northern Ireland has achieved global recognition, securing two “World’s Best” titles at the prestigious 2025 World Beer Awards.

Against thousands of international entries, Our Brewery stood out on the world stage, collecting an impressive 12 medals in total – including seven golds for Best in Ireland, one silver, and four bronze. Two of the brewery’s gold-winning beers went on to be crowned World’s Best in their categories.

Global Titles for Low Land Oud Bruin & Seasur Mixed Ferm Saison

The winning beers, Low Land Oud Bruin and Seasur Mixed Ferm Saison, first triumphed in the Irish national competition before being judged the best in the world by an international panel of industry experts.

“This is beyond anything we imagined,” said Johnny Mitchell, co-founder of Our Brewery. “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.”

About the World Beer Awards

The World Beer Awards is one of the brewing industry’s most prestigious international competitions. Each year, beers from across the globe are submitted into style categories and judged through blind tastings by a panel of expert brewers, journalists, and beer sommeliers.
Entries are first assessed at a national level, with the top performers crowned Best in Country. These winners then advance to the global stage, where they compete head-to-head for the coveted “World’s Best” titles.
Winning a World Beer Award is widely regarded as one of the highest achievements in brewing, recognising not only technical excellence but also innovation, flavour balance, and authenticity to style.
