Hook Norton Brewery Triumphs at International Beer Challenge 2025
Hook Norton Brewery is celebrating a major success after securing four medals at the prestigious International Beer Challenge 2025.
This impressive haul of awards highlights the brewery’s unwavering commitment to quality and innovation, showcasing its diverse and acclaimed range of beers on a global stage.
The brewery’s hard work was recognised with two Silver medals and two Bronze medals. A Silver medal was awarded to Lock Steady 2.5% in the increasingly popular “No or Low Alcohol Beers” category, while another Silver was given to Off The Hook 4.3% in the “Ales” category.
Hook Norton Brewery’s success continued with two Bronze medals. The brewery’s Ironstone Lager 4.3% was honoured in the “Lagers” category, and the gluten-free pale ale, Oat Sower 3.3%, earned a Bronze medal in the “Ales” category, just one award behind its fellow winner, Off The Hook, proving that no gluten does not mean no taste.
The International Beer Challenge is a highly respected global competition that celebrates brewing excellence, and these four medals are a testament to the Hook Norton Brewery team’s dedication to crafting outstanding beers that appeal to a wide range of tastes and preferences.
These accolades, along with the many awards our beers have won over the years, reinforce the brewery’s maxim: “Beer brewed as it should be.” We are committed to upholding this standard for many years to come. Well done to our amazing brewers.
Off The Hook, Ironstone Lager and Oat Sower are all available throughout the year in Hooky Pubs and discerning free houses.
All four of these beers are available in bottles throughout the year from a whole host of stockists, our Brewery Shop and from our online store:
