The Best Lagers Of 2025—According To The World Beer Cup
Lagers from across the globe were given gold medals in various categories at the 2025 World Beer Cup. The resurgence of interest in lagers has been a bright spot in the craft beer industry in recent years. The industry as a whole has experienced some growing pains with people drinking less and more brewery closings, but in that time lagers have increased in popularity among both brewers and beer drinkers. This could be seen at this year's World Beer Cup, the unofficial Olympics of beer held earlier this spring in Indianapolis. All told, more than 8,375 beers and ciders in more than 300 categories were submitted by producers from 49 countries. Lagers were among the most popular categories and more than 1000 different lagers were submitted to the competition from breweries across the U.S. and the globe. These beers were judged by more than 200 judges over 14 tasting sessions. The best lagers were assessed in a variety of categories and judges awarded only one gold medal per category. Pilsners are technically a type of lager, but we've covered some of this year's best pilsner winners previously, so here we will be focusing on other types of lagers that took home gold at this year's World Beer Cup. These award-winning beers hail from multiple countries and range from dark to light lagers and draw on a diverse range of traditional and modern brewing techniques.

They had quite a few of those super-rich 'Milo Dinosaur' drinks and also shared some Tsingtao and Chang beers. The Die With A Smile singer sat at table 171, which is in front of the Fortune Popiah stall. Lady Gaga was trying to chill and not draw too much attention to herself, but her fans – her 'Little Monsters' – are super sharp and figured out she was there pretty quickly. Chance to talk to Lady Gaga A handful of really fortunate fans got the chance to go up and actually talk to Lady Gaga, which must have been amazing for them! Meanwhile, most of the other fans who spotted her were really cool about it and just enjoyed seeing her from a little further away. It sounds like everyone was being pretty considerate. @itsfiqqy 16 YEARS OF BEING LITTLE MONSTER AND I SAW HER NOSE RIGHT INFRONT OF ME WHILE I WAS GOING FOR A COFFEE BREAK AT MAXWELL HAWKER CENTRE??!?!?! FELT SURREAL! I LOVE YOU @ladygaga #ladygaga #singapore #mayhem ♬ original sound – 🌪 – 🌪 A small group of people had gathered to support her as she left, and one lucky fan was given an autographed copy of Gaga's Mayhem album as she was making her way to her vehicle. Lady Gaga unexpectedly appeared at Maxwell Food Centre. She made an appearance while in the middle of her four performances at the Singapore National Stadium, which began on May 18. Excited over Lady Gaga On May 24, she has one more performance, and it is not surprising that everyone in Singapore is excited about her being here. Singer-songwriter Lady Gaga was born on March 28, 1986. Her real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, and she is very talented and renowned. She sings, writes her own songs, and acts too. She's become a huge influence in popular music, known for constantly changing her image and showing incredible talent across the entertainment world. Starting her career by signing with Interscope Records in 2007, Lady Gaga quickly gained worldwide fame with her debut album, The Fame (2008), and its expanded version, The Fame Monster (2009). These albums were packed with hit after hit, like Just Dance , Poker Face , Bad Romance, Telephone, and Alejandro. True global superstar She's a true global superstar, having sold an estimated 124 million records, making her one of the best-selling music artists ever. Notably, she's the only female artist with four singles that have each sold at least 10 million copies worldwide. Six of her main albums went straight to number one on the big US music chart, the Billboard 200. And not only that, but six of her songs also hit the very top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Beyond music, Lady Gaga's impact is clear. Back in 2011, Forbes magazine actually said that Lady Gaga was the highest-earning female musician and 'the most powerful celebrity' overall! And then, Time Magazine thought she was so influential that they put her on their list of the 100 most important people in the world, not just once, but twice – in 2010 and again in 2019.

(Video) Lady Gaga & Fiancé Michael Polansky Spotted At Maxwell Food Centre In Singapore
Many international stars have been spotted at popular tourist attractions during their visits. Previously, in our neighbouring country, Singapore, billionaire Bill Gates was seen enjoying a meal at the iconic Newton Food Centre, one of the country's most well-known hawker centres. It's perhaps no surprise that superstar Lady Gaga has been spotted at a hawker centre while continuing her stay in Singapore following her electrifying performance. Here's what the singer has been up to: In case you haven't heard, Lady Gaga is currently in Singapore for her MAYHEM World Tour, performing a four-day concert at the National Stadium. During the first two days of her performance, Little Monsters from both Singapore and Malaysia turned up dressed in some of her most iconic outfits. The Oscar winner's next show is later tonight (Wednesday, 21st May), which means that she's had a few days to explore the country before going back up on stage. While her other recent activities remain unclear, yesterday (Tuesday, 20th May), the singer, her fiancé Michael Polansky, and her team were spotted at Maxwell Food Centre. According to several fan accounts, the Grammy-winning artist, dressed in all-black, was seen having lunch and engaging with fans. There's currently no information on the food she ordered, but from the screenshots, bottles of Tsingtao beer were seen on the table. After enjoying their meal, Mother Monster, her fiancé, and her team were seen leaving the hawker centre, greeted by cheering fans of the 'Abracadabra' songstress. Known for how much she adores her fans, Lady Gaga paused to sign a few autographs for her Little Monsters as she made her way back to the car. Lady Gaga was not the first international artist to dine at Maxwell Food Centre. Dua Lipa was also spotted there with her team when she performed in Singapore last year.
