Brasserie de Silly has just been recognized at the 2025 Untappd Community Awards. Three beers from the Silly Scotch Barrel Aged lineup were honored by the international community of beer enthusiasts, once again confirming the quality and originality of the brewery’s craft.

The results celebrate three wine barrel-aged variations of the Silly Scotch:

• Gold Medal – Silly Scotch Sauvignon Blanc Barrel Aged
• Silver Medal – Silly Scotch Chardonnay Barrel Aged
• Bronze Medal – Silly Scotch Bordeaux Barrel Aged

These honors highlight the meticulous work put into barrel aging, a technique that adds depth, complexity, and new aromatic nuances to this iconic brewery beer.

Untappd, the Global Reference for Beer Lovers

The Untappd Community Awards are based on ratings and reviews submitted by users of the Untappd app. The platform is now one of the most popular in the world for beer enthusiasts, letting users discover new releases, share tasting notes, and rate the beers they try.

Each year, the Community Awards recognize the highest-rated beers across the community. In 2024, more than 1.5 million beers were rated on the app — and only 1.65% of them earned a medal.

Receiving a distinction in this context is especially meaningful, as it comes directly from consumers themselves.

The Silly Scotch Reimagined Through Barrel Aging

The Silly Scotch Barrel Aged lineup was born from a desire to explore new expressions of the Silly Scotch, one of Brasserie de Silly’s flagship beers. The concept is straightforward but demanding: allowing the beer to age in wine barrels so that the wood and residual wine aromas gradually enrich its profile.

Depending on the barrel used — Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, or Bordeaux — the beer develops distinct characteristics: sometimes fruitier, sometimes more oaky, with subtle nuances that evolve throughout the tasting experience.

This patient, experimental approach produces complex beers that sit at the crossroads of brewing and winemaking traditions.

Recognition for the Brewery’s Expertise

These three medals represent well-deserved recognition for Brasserie de Silly and the entire team behind these beers.

They also reflect the growing appetite among enthusiasts for more sophisticated beers, where brewing is combined with maturation techniques drawn from other artisan traditions.

Finally, the brewery would like to thank everyone who tastes, rates, and shares their impressions on Untappd, helping to bring Silly’s beers to an ever-growing international community.
