The brewer’s portfolio shines at the continent’s most prestigious beer competition with multiple medals, reinforcing Indian brewing excellence on international stage
Devans Modern Breweries has once again turned heads in the craft brewing community at Asia Beer Challenge 2025. The brewery’s Six Fields Cult Finest Strong Wheat Beer has won a coveted Silver Medal in the Dubbel Wit/Imperial White category – and further distinguished itself as the leading beer in its category this year. This award is a testament to the beer’s notable Belgian-style of brewing, including hints of coriander and orange peel that provide a light, yet bold kick that entices even the most discerning beer drinkers across Asia. More recently, the brand excelled at the Brussels Beer Challenge as well, where Six Fields Cult won best strong wheat beer in the Dubbel Wit/Imperial White category, earning a Gold Medal.
Six Fields Blanche Finest Wheat Beer was awarded the Silver in the Witbier category at the Asian Beer Challenge. Meanwhile, Godfather The Legendary Luxury Lager Beer received Bronze in the Australasian, Latin American or Tropical-Style Light Lager category, establishing it as a premium easy-drinking balanced beer with 5 per cent ABV.
DeVANS Godfather Super 8 won Gold in the Strong Lager category at the Asia Beer Challenge, validating it as Asia’s best strong beer, which at 8 per cent ABV delivers a memorable, smooth punch. This set of accolades propels Devans into the worldwide spotlight and demonstrates the expertise of DeVANS in making world-class beers comparable to the best in the world with bold flavors that can lead the way in Asia’s spirited beer markets.
The Asia Beer Challenge is the continent’s biggest and most prestigious beer competition, attracting elite producers from fast-growing regions where 50 per cent of global beer consumption occurs and including China, India, Japan, and beyond. Organised by Peak Publishing Limited—the world’s largest beverage awards body, responsible for over 1 billion bottles sold since 2006—the event features a triple-blind tasting by over 100 top Asian beer buyers.
“This impressive performance at the Asia Beer Challenge 2025 reflects our passion for blending tradition with cutting-edge innovation,” said Prem Dewan, Chairman and Managing Director, Devans Modern Breweries. “We’re thrilled to see our beers resonate on such a grand stage and remain committed to pushing boundaries while honoring our heritage of excellence.”
