Some beers win fans.
Some beers win medals.
El Lúpulo Libre just did both.
We’re proud to announce that our bold, unapologetic El Lúpulo Libre IPA has taken home a Silver Medal at the World Beer Cup 2026, widely considered the most prestigious beer competition on the planet. Since 1996, this global showdown has judged the very best brewers in the world, making this recognition a serious badge of honor.
And honestly… this beer earned it.
El Lúpulo Libre is a full-throttle hop experience. Big aromatics, layered bitterness, and a flavor profile that doesn’t ask for permission. It’s the kind of IPA that kicks the door open, plants a flag, and says, “this is how it’s done.”
Now for the important part…
It’s back.
Starting April 24th, 2026, El Lúpulo Libre returns to all Brew Kettle pubs, pouring fresh and ready for victory laps. Whether you’ve had it before or you’re stepping into the ring for the first time, this is your shot to drink a world-class, award-winning IPA right at your local bar.
No judges. No scorecards. Just you, a pint, and a silver medal–winning beer.
Get it while it’s pouring. It won’t last long.
