On November 21, 2025, ONE’s BREWERY announced on its official website that its "AMB" had won gold at the "International Beer Cup 2025". The announcement was made on November 18, marking another addition to the brewery’s 2025 award record.

According to the official awards list, AMB won gold in Bottle/Can Category Section 56 (American-Style Amber Lager). In that section, a Chinese brand took silver and a major domestic lager brand took bronze, while AMB earned the top rating. The awards list also names Ryota Suzuki and Tatsuya Ichikawa as brewing leads.

The competition was held from November 15 to 18, 2025 at MyDome Osaka in Osaka. According to the judging materials, there were 1,562 entries from 22 countries and regions, 385 participating breweries and companies, and 99 judges from 28 countries and regions. ONE’s BREWERY’s announcement also places the International Beer Cup among the world’s five major judging competitions, underscoring the depth of the field.

ONE’s BREWERY began brewing in Nishi Ward, Osaka City in January 2019. Under the banner of "ultimate drinkability," it has focused on making beers designed to be enjoyed continuously. Its flagship is the Kölsch-style KLS, but the AMB that earned this result is an amber lager developed under the common nickname "steam beer"; the current batch, AMB-09, has an ABV of 4.5% and an IBU of 35. It is a beer that emphasizes amber color, toastiness, and a smooth drinking profile.

The fact that an Osaka-born brewery took gold in the amber lager category on an international stage in Osaka is symbolic in terms of the brand’s story. The brewery’s commitment to refining drinkability over flashiness translated into results in the blind-judging format of the competition.
