The results are official, and we are incredibly proud to share that Young Master Brewery 12th Anniversary Beer has been crowned the Best Sour at the Cathay Global Wine & Spirits Awards Asia 2025! 🍺✨

A masterfully composed blend of foeder and Chardonnay barrel-aged sours across vintages, this beer is filled with bright lemon zest and orange blossom. Smooth notes of silky, creamy coconut are topped with a hint of vanilla, creating a vinous and finely balanced brew with medium-dry complexity.
