In the world of craft beer, it’s a great honor to have our work recognized on the national and international stages. Silver Bluff Brewing Company has had the privilege of taking home medals from four of the industry’s major competitions three years in a row (2023, 2024 and 2025): U.S. Open Beer Championship, the Great American Beer Festival®, the World Beer Cup®, and the Brewskis. These awards are a testament to our team’s commitment to quality, innovation, and authenticity.
Here’s a closer look at the beers that earned their place among the best in the world:
🥈Silver Medal – 2024 Great American Beer Festival®, Czech Pilsener Category
🥇Gold Medal – 2024 Brewskis
Crisp, clean, and true to style, our River Delta Czech Pils took home a silver medal at the 2024 Great American Beer Festival®—the largest and most competitive professional beer competition in the U.S. With delicate Saaz hop aroma and a balanced malt profile, this classic European-style pilsner delivers refreshing drinkability and depth that stood out among thousands of entries.
🥈Silver Medal – 2025 U.S. Open Beer Championship, German Wheat Beer – South German Weizenbock/Weissbock Category
🥉Bronze Medal – 2024 U.S. Open Beer Championship, German Wheat Beer – South German Weizenbock/Weissbock Category
We’re thrilled to share that our Braunschweiger Weizenbock took home a medal for the second year in a row, winning silver at the 2025 U.S. Open Beer Championship!
Competing in the South German Weizenbock category, this bold, traditional German-style strong wheat ale is the big brother to our Needlerush Hefeweizen. Expect rich banana and clove aromas, a strong malt backbone, and a smooth, sweet finish.
Named in honor of Braunschweig, the German namesake of our hometown Brunswick, this beer is steeped in tradition. Huge cheers to our production team for crafting another stellar brew. 🍻
🥈Silver Medal – 2023 World Beer Cup®, International Style Pilsner Category
🥈Silver Medal – 2020 U.S. Open Beer Championship, International Style Pilsner Category
🏅Beer of the Year™ – 2024 and 2023 Brewskis, making it the only 2x Beer of the Year Winner!
🥇🥇Gold Medal – 2022 and 2021 Brewskis, 2 times in a row!
Our Mexican Lager has become nothing short of legendary. Light, crisp, and endlessly crushable, this beer has captured the attention of judges and fans alike. It won silver medals at both the World Beer Cup® and U.S. Open Beer Championship, not to mention being crowned Beer of the Year by the Brewskis in 2023 and 2024. With subtle malt sweetness and a clean finish, it’s proof that simple, well-executed lagers never go out of style.
The World Beer Cup®, Great American Beer Festival®, and U.S. Open Beer Championship are often considered the “big three” of competitive brewing. Winning at just one of these events is a milestone. Taking home multiple medals across all three is a testament to consistency, quality, and passion for the craft.
At Silver Bluff Brewing Company, we’re proud to be part of a craft beer culture that values tradition while pushing creative boundaries. These awards inspire us to keep refining our techniques and exploring new flavors while staying true to who we are.
🍻Stop by our taproom to try these celebrated brews for yourself, or look for them at your favorite local retailers. In addition, we’ll be pouring Mexican Lager with the Georgia Craft Brewers Guild in the Great American Beer Festival in Denver, CO, October 9-11, 2025.
