For the second year in a row, our Nöel Orange & Cacao has once again taken centre stage at the Brussels Beer Challenge, one of the world's most prestigious beer competitions.
This year, it not only won the Gold Medal in the Winter Ales category but was also crowned 'Best Italian Beer' at the competition. This special recognition is supported by Cronache di Birra and awarded by an international panel of experts.
This is a result we are incredibly proud of, rewarding the passion and dedication we pour into our work every day. To win in Belgium, the homeland of iconic beer styles and fierce competition, is a thrilling challenge for us and a dream come true.
Nöel is our beer for the festive season, a Winter Ale with a warm, inviting character. Its recipe is born from the meeting of sweet orange peel and intense cacao, which blend together in a perfect balance of aromas and flavours. Every sip captures the magic of winter and the joy of sharing special moments.
To be named the best Italian beer on an international stage is a powerful statement: it shows that Italian quality and creativity can stand alongside the world's very best. This award is dedicated to everyone who believes in the value of craftsmanship and the culture of craft beer.
A word from Teo Musso:
“It’s always a thrill to win an award that highlights the quality of the work we do at the brewery. But to win in Belgium, in such a classic and competitive style, and then to be named the best Italian beer in the competition… that’s a dream come true!”
