The proud winners of the European Beer Star 2025 took their awards. In a glamorous Award Ceremony on September 17 at drinktec in Munich, the winners have been announced. Here is the list of winners.
Since 2022, the Association Private Brauereien has been presenting the Future Award as part of the European Beer Star, which honors breweries that manage to combine sustainable corporate management with outstanding product quality. This year, the focus of the evaluations was on the efficient use of water as a raw material. The expert jury of the Future Award 2025 was particularly impressed by Jopen Brewery, which ensures that its future activities are sustainable in accordance with the United Nations' sustainability goals from a supply chain perspective. The Dutch brewery's success factors are based on scientific and technical progress, research and innovation, as well as cooperation and partnerships.
The special design of the European Beer Star gives breweries of all types equal opportunities. Size, importance, ownership, tradition are values that may be important in the daily battle for market share. In front of the palates and noses of our expert jury, all beers are equal.
It doesn't matter whether it's a one-person company or a large corporation; whether a brewery is hundreds of years old or just founded. All stories are interesting; all beers are welcome at the European Beer Star.
