We are absolutely over the moon to share some incredible news with our community. The results for the 2026 Untappd Community Awards are in, and Dog’s Window Brewery has had its best year yet!
These awards are particularly special to us because they aren’t decided by a closed panel of judges—they are decided by you. Every check-in, rating, and review you’ve left on Untappd over the past year helped us secure these spots. To know that our beers are hitting the mark for the people who matter most is the best feeling in the world.
The Winners’ Circle
We’re proud to announce that four of our brews were recognised as the best in Wales:
🏆 GOLD: Stay Stuffed (Stout – Oatmeal) Our marshmallow stout took the top spot! We are thrilled to see this indulgent, velvety brew recognised as the best Oatmeal Stout in the country.
🏆 GOLD: Drop It! (IPA – Session) Proof that you don’t need a massive ABV to deliver massive flavour. This hazy favourite officially wears the crown for Session IPAs in Wales.
🏆 GOLD: Search Party (Pale Ale – XPA) Our NZ Pale Ale navigated its way to the top of the XPA category. We’re glad you’re enjoying those Southern Hemisphere hops as much as we are.
🥈 SILVER: Black Forest (Stout – Oatmeal) It was a Dog’s Window double-podium in the Oatmeal Stout category! Black Forest followed closely behind Stay Stuffed to take the Silver.
A Massive Thank You
Running an independent brewery is a labour of love, and seeing our name at the top of these lists makes every late-night brew day worth it. Whether you’ve ordered online or picked up a can at your local bottle shop, thank you for being part of the journey.
We’re raising a glass to all of you tonight.
Cheers, The Dog’s Window Team
