Wadworth’s Award-Winning Beers Recognised at World Beer Awards

We’re thrilled to announce that three of our beers have been recognised at the World Beer Awards, bringing home multiple medals between them.

The World Beer Awards are a global competition celebrating the very best beers in all internationally recognised styles, promoting outstanding beers across the globe.

A big congratulations to the Wadworth brewing team! 

Wadworth Award-Winning Beers – Swordfish, To Helles and Back & Evolution

Swordfish – Rum-Infused Amber Ale (5%)

Our rich amber ale infused with Pusser’s Navy Rum continues to turn heads, taking home three prestigious awards in the Bitter 4.5–5.5% category:

  • World’s Best Style Winner

  • Gold Award

  • Country Winner for England

Brewed to commemorate 100 years of Naval Aviation, Swordfish is a rich amber ale infused with Pusser’s Navy Rum, a spirit once rationed to the Royal Navy. Full-bodied with notes of dark sugar, caramel, and gentle rum, it’s a beer for those who like something a little different.

Every pint or bottle also contributes to Navy Wings, supporting naval aviation heritage.

Originally brewed in collaboration with Camba Bavaria to mark the opening of Folly Road Brewhouse, To Helles and Back is a traditional German Helles lager that has a beautifully balanced taste.
