The jury assigned a silver medal in category 1 (bottom-fermented – low alcohol content <5.5%) to OTUS gluten-free Helles beer.  

World Gluten Free Beer Awards 2025 is a contest that awards the best gluten-free craft beers, evidence of a constantly evolving market that gathers taste, quality, innovation and attention health. The initiative aims at promoting quality craft beer culture, opening up to discussion opportunities and providing visibility to Italian and international breweries. Now in its 12^th edition, the contest, organised by Piacevolezza.it in collaboration with Unionbirrai (small independent Italian breweries association), has become a reference for the beer sector.

The award ceremony took place on Sunday 1^st June at Rimini Wellness, where the jury assigned a silver medal in category 1 to OTUS Cuor di Pane, our gluten-free Helles beer: bottom-fermented – low alcohol content (<5.5%). This recognition rewards our craft brewery quality and commitment and is added to a Mention received in 2022 in Category F (bottom and top-fermented – spiced and special beers) during the same contest and to Innovation and Sustainability Award won at Beer&Food Attraction 2024.

«During the ceremony TopBeerHub.com was officially launched, a new portal that will gather all editorial contents, contests and address books related to the emerging craft beer world. The project includes a constant communication throughout the year, ending yearly with Top Beer Awards. The contest will be divided into 3 main categories, selected to value beer excellences:

1. Top Gluten Free Beers (that from 2026 will replace the name World Gluten Free Beer Awards)
2. Top Organic Beers (that from 2026 will replace the name Best Bio Beer)
