Limburg brewery’s Pils scoops top global award for second time

Alfa brewery, a family-owned business in Thull, Netherlands, has won the prestigious title of World’s Best Classic Pilsener for Edel Pils at the World Beer Awards. This marks the brewery's second consecutive win in this category. The award was given to the beer previously in 2021.

Edel Pils was one of four Dutch beers to receive a Gold award at the annual festival in Norwich, England. The other winners included Grolsch’s Cal and Herfstbok, and Lindeboom’s Gouverneur Superieur Pilsener. The international jury also recognized Edel Pils as the best Dutch national beer.

Alfa has been crafting beer in Thull for 156 years, employing traditional family recipes and their own water source. Dutch News, the source of this story, relies on reader support to continue providing free Dutch news. Any donation, no matter how small, helps maintain the service.
