14.08.2025 Lindemans Kriek 0.0% and Goyck win gold, Framboise crowned best in the world at the World Beer Awards 2025

Lindemans Brewery takes home 10 awards, including 1 World’s Best and 3 gold Country Winner titles

At the World Beer Awards 2025 in London, Lindemans Brewery earned recognition in multiple categories, taking home a total of ten awards. Earlier this year, the brewery became the first lambic brewery in the world to introduce a completely alcohol-free Kriek - an innovation that earned the title of Country Winner in the "No & Low alcohol, Sour & Wild" category. In addition, Lindemans Framboise was named World's Best Framboise in the ‘Framboise’ category.

The new Lindemans Kriek 0.0% is a completely alcohol-free beer. As a pioneer among lambic breweries, Lindemans was the first in the world to develop an alcohol-free version that remains true to the authentic, full flavor of the classic Lindemans Kriek. Lindemans Kriek 0.0% is brewed with the same ingredients as the original, including the same amount of freshly pressed cherries and natural aromas. Thanks to the use of an advanced brewing technique, a full-fledged variant without alcohol is created.

"We are delighted with these awards! Ten in one year is remarkable, and we are extremely proud as a brewery. Moreover, it is great to see that our Kriek 0.0% is so well received. It shows that innovation and tradition go perfectly hand in hand", says Dirk Lindemans.

“Our Lindemans Kriek 0.0% opens up new possibilities for beer lovers who consciously want to enjoy without alcohol, and the award-winning Framboise once again confirms our reputation as a master of fruit lambic beers.”, Geert Lindemans adds. "These prizes are a well-deserved recognition for our entire team."
