In total, Siris Craft Brewery won 5 awards, as Voreia Imperial Porter, Voreia Irish Red and Happy Brewers New England IPA also came out on top.

In addition, Voreia Pilsner also won the Gold Award in the Modern Pilsner category, while Voreia Imperial Porter, a special recipe with notes of Madagascar Vanilla, coffee beans and 7-year aged rum, won both impressions and the Silver Award in the Strong Stout & Porter category. Voreia Irish Red was also honoured, where the caramel aftertaste and biscuit flavours gave it the Bronze award in the Red Ale category. Finally, Happy Brewers New England IPA, a recipe created in the second half of 2023, won the Bronze award in the Modern IPA category, and stood out with its distinctive tropical aromas, with notes of mango, melon and peach.
