Beer of the year 2026<\/h2>\n

We return from the most important competition in Italy with the awareness that the research path we\u2019re pursuing in the brewery is paying off. Once again this year, the stage in Rimini brought us great satisfaction with five new awards.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s confirmation of the daily work we put into every style \u2014 from spontaneous fermentations to our beloved hop-forward beers, all the way to the most demanding technical challenges.<\/p>\n

CRAK\u2019s awards at Birra dell\u2019Anno 2026:<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Tropical Gose \u2013 Gold Medal \ud83e\udd47
\nSchwarz After Sauna \u2013 Silver Medal \ud83e\udd48
\nPontarola Riserva 2019 \u2013 Silver Medal \ud83e\udd48
\nMansueto Riserva 2024 Bourbon \u2013 Bronze Medal \ud83e\udd49
\nMundaka Zero \u2013 Bronze Medal \ud83e\udd49<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]A special mention goes to Mundaka Zero. While its first medal in 2024 came in a generic category, this year it was awarded in the new category dedicated exclusively to Alcohol Free beers. For us, this is a fundamental sign: it proves that you can craft a non-alcoholic beer while preserving the character and quality we strive for in every one of our productions.<\/p>\n

Thank you to all of you who continue to choose our beers and support our philosophy.<\/p>\n
