Sam Altaner, Head Brewer at Brother Chimp Brewing, poses with the brewery's 2024 Gold award winning Vienna Lager, Ludwig.

Brother Chimp Brewing received a Gold award in the 2024 World Beer Cup, the most prestigious beer competition in the world. 

The World Beer Cup award ceremony took place on April 24, 2024, at The Venetian in Las Vegas where awards were given in 110 beer-style categories. 

Brother Chimp Brewing received a Gold award in the Vienna Lager category for its Ludwig, a beer described on Untappd as a "crystal-clear, walnut brown in color, easy-drinking lager" with a flavor "dominated by a traditional toasty Vienna malt presence accentuated by biscuity grain notes and a limited hop presence for exceedingly smooth drinkability."

Brother Chimp Brewing is a 5-barrel nanobrewery with a taproom and beer garden located in North Aurora, Illinois. The brewery's motto and specialty is "Craft beer that tastes like beer," with a well-rounded menu for all beer-lovers to find something they enjoy.

"I'm extremely proud to get this recognition from the World Beer Cup," said Sam Altaner, Head Brewer at Brother Chimp Brewing. "We have been dialing in this recipe for years now, and we know our local patrons love it, but it is absolutely surreal to see it win a gold stacked up against the best Vienna lagers in the world."
