FLANDRIEN 0.0 Wins Gold at the World Alcohol-Free Awards
Boortmeerbeek, April 29, 2026 – Haacht Brewery has once again won awards at the prestigious World Alcohol-Free Awards (WAFA), the only international competition for beverages with an alcohol content of 0.5% or less. FLANDRIEN 0.0 took home the gold medal, as the only beer with 0.0% alcohol content.
A GOLDEN FLANDRIEN: “Rich flavor with a complex, malty aroma”
The standout in the 0.0% beer category was FLANDRIEN 0.0. The international panel of experts praised the complexity of this non-alcoholic craft beer, describing it as a “rich, copper-colored beer with a complex, malty aroma featuring notes of citrus and bubblegum.”
The jury also highlighted the beer’s gastronomic potential: “The balance between its sweetness on the palate, a hint of citrus, and its bitter finish makes this beer ideal for food pairing. It’s a perfect accompaniment to hearty meals, from a classic roast to a ‘Shepherd’s Pie’.”
PROOF OF EXPERTISE
For Haacht Brewery, this award is a significant recognition. “Winning gold in an independent, global competition like the WAFA proves the quality of our 0.0 beers and their rich flavor profile and character,” says Haacht Brewery. “FLANDRIEN 0.0 demonstrates that a truly alcohol-free beer can be just as complex and gastronomic as its alcoholic counterpart,” explains Séverine Distave, Chief Marketing Growth Officer.
