They say good beer speaks for itself.
Ours spoke at the World Beer Cup — and it was named the best in the world! 🏆
Earlier this year, our Vinter Liv Swedish Ale took Gold at the 2025 World Beer Cup — the most prestigious beer competition on Earth, with entries from 40+ countries and judged by some of the best palates in the business.
Brewed with juniper berries, lemongrass, and elderflower (see slide 3!), Vinter Liv is our modern take on a traditional Swedish raw ale. It’s partially wild-fermented, partially fermented with a Scandinavian yeast, and balanced with just the right touch of sourness — complex and refreshing all at once.
It’s been on tap for a while now, but a world title like this deserves to be remembered (and re-poured).
Here at Paddlefish, damn-good beer isn’t just words — it’s something we work hard to bring to life in every brew, pour, and pint shared with community. Come try it for yourself—before it’s gone!🍻
