Oatmeal Stout Unplugged crowned best non-alcoholic beer in Europe!
We did it! Our Oatmeal Stout Unplugged was awarded the gold medal at the prestigious European Beer Star 2024 competition. A jury of 150 internationally certified beer judges praised the beer for its outstanding taste, aroma, and true-to-style execution – officially naming it the best non-alcoholic beer in Europe.
The award ceremony took place on November 27, 2024, during the BrauBeviale trade fair in Nuremberg. Out of 2,360 beers submitted from around the world, Oatmeal Stout Unplugged impressed the judges and earned the highest honour. Our head brewer Kuba commented on this success:
“Winning a gold medal at the European Beer Star is not just a huge honour for us; it proves that even in the alcohol-free category, you can brew world-class beer. We are proud that a product from a Polish craft brewery has earned international recognition in one of the industry’s most forward-looking categories.”
About the European Beer Star competition:
The European Beer Star has been one of the world’s most prestigious beer competitions, organised since 2004 by the Association of Private Breweries (Private Brauereien). Its mission is to honour beers with character and outstanding quality. The competition attracts both small craft breweries and major international brands from over 50 countries. Winning a European Beer Star is not only a mark of prestige but also a clear confirmation of world-class brewing quality.
Why Trzech Kumpli’s Stout Unplugged was crowned the best non-alcoholic beer in Europe:
In Oatmeal Stout Unplugged, you will find an extraordinary blend of specialty malts (seven distinct varieties sourced from different malt houses across three countries) combined with velvety oat flakes and carefully selected yeast strains. Every stage of the brewing process is carried out with the utmost precision and craftsmanship: from mashing and brewing, through fermentation, the appropriate maturation period, finishing with nitrogen infusion that imparts the beer its characteristic creamy texture. The result is a magnificent non-alcoholic Oatmeal Stout with a dark hue, distinct roasted malt notes, a smooth mouthfeel, and a pleasant bitterness.
