One's Brewery Announces WBA Award

One's Brewery (Osaka) announced in a notice published at 10:10 on August 18, 2025, that its entry "KLS" won Japan Silver at the World Beer Awards 2025.
According to the company, the WBA is an annual competition organized by Paragraph Publishing Ltd. in the United Kingdom, where beers gathered from around the world are judged through blind tasting.

What Made the Award-Winning Beer "KLS" Stand Out

On the WBA awards page, KLS is listed in the Pale Beer category / Kölsch style. Its alcohol content is 4.50%.
The tasting notes highlight its pale golden color, grainy character and light fruit aroma, gentle sweetness, and a dry, refreshing finish.

On One's Brewery's official website, KLS is also positioned as a flagship beer and described as a core product that embodies the brewery's idea of "ultimate drinkability." This award seems to show on an international stage that the company has consistently refined a beer designed to be drinkable again and again.

Context for a Brewery from Osaka

One's Brewery began production in Nishi Ward, Osaka City, in January 2019. Rather than relying on flashiness alone, it has pursued balance and drinkability through careful brewing.
In recent years, it has continued to earn recognition in various competitions, and this WBA award is notable to craft beer fans as news that a locally rooted brewery has demonstrated its presence under global standards of judging.

This award may be the perfect reason to start with KLS and then compare it with the rest of the lineup, which should make One's Brewery's brewing philosophy even clearer.
