It’s a moment to cheer for India homegrown craft beer brand Simba has made its mark at the 2025 World Beer Awards, bagging a Silver for Simba Wit (a Belgian-style witbier) and a Bronze for Simba Stout in the “India Country Winners Taste” category.

This honour is not limited to winning the medal only. World Beer Awards are extremely competitive and judges are done through blind testing, that is, quality is not at the forefront but quality here. When your beer fulfils global standards on the basis of taste, the same real recognition is.

For Simba, it’s a dream come true. Ishwaraj Singh Bhatia, the brand’s co-founder and COO, said it's a reflection of their team’s passion, innovation, and commitment to quality. And for India’s craft beer landscape, this is a milestone proof that we can compete with established global players, despite being a relatively young and fragmented industry.

Simba's success gives a clear message: Indian craft beer is no longer the choice of just a limited class. It can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best beer in the world on the basis of its ability. More than these trophies, these awards give credibility and inspiration to a growing Brooking community a community that often struggles with the challenges and limited resources of rules.

After all, the medals of Simba are not just about beer-these are the story of the movement that is moving fast, with each sip. For the future of Indian Brooking, this honour is a call that continuously keep on creating excellence.
