A Belgian pride celebrated worldwide
In 2025, Brasserie de Silly celebrates its 175th anniversary with an exceptional track record. The family-owned company, deeply rooted in Belgian brewing tradition, has won four prestigious medals at two international competitions: the World Beer Awards and the Asia Beer Challenge. These distinctions crown a know-how passed down through six generations — a rare blend of passion, precision, and innovation.
Since 1850, the brewery has carried on a proud family legacy while embracing new trends. By combining ancestral techniques with an environmentally conscious approach, it has become a leading name in Belgian craft beer, recognized across both Europe and Asia.
World Beer Awards 2025: A double victory for the Silly Saison Village Bio
The World Beer Awards (WBA), held annually in London, is one of the most prestigious competitions in the brewing world. The best beers are blind-tasted by an international panel of experts, judged on precise criteria such as aromatic balance, texture, ingredient quality, and authenticity of style.
At the 2025 edition, Silly Saison Village Bio achieved a double win: a Gold Medal in the Saison category and the title of Country Winner Belgium, recognizing it as the best Belgian beer in its category.
This recognition reflects meticulous work on ingredients and brewing processes. The Silly Saison Village Bio stands out for its freshness, lightness, and subtle bitterness. It perfectly embodies the brewery’s philosophy: offering an authentic, organic beer inspired by tradition while meeting the expectations of modern consumers.
Asia Beer Challenge 2025: Pink Killer and Saison in the spotlight
The success didn’t stop there. A few weeks later, Brasserie de Silly was once again honored at the Asia Beer Challenge, a major competition evaluating beers for the Asian market. This prestigious jury, made up of top importers and distributors from across the region, rewards beers capable of winning over a passionate and demanding audience.
Two of the brewery’s creations stood out: Pink Killer, which earned a gold medal for its fruity character, natural sweetness, and refreshing taste, and Silly Saison Village Bio, which received a silver medal, confirming the consistency and excellence of this already award-winning beer.
These honors strengthen the brewery’s international reputation, establishing Silly as a key player in both European and Asian markets. They also highlight the brand’s ability to blend creativity and high standards while remaining true to its Belgian identity.
Behind the success: Passion, innovation, and consistency
Behind every medal lies years of experience and teamwork. Brasserie de Silly relies on a team of passionate master brewers attentive to every detail — from the selection of malt to fermentation. Innovation remains central to the brewery’s strategy: new recipes, the search for unique aromatic profiles, and a constant commitment to quality.
Environmental responsibility is also one of the brewery’s core values. The choice of organic ingredients, sustainable water management, and the use of greener energy sources reflect a desire to produce responsibly while looking toward the future.
