On March 9, 2026, the award ceremony of the 2026 "Tiangong Cup" China Craft Beer Competition came to a successful conclusion in Jinan. Lu Master Beer, a sub-brand of Jinpai Beer, participated in the competition with its meticulously crafted product — Lu Master Strong Beer (Abbey Style Quadrupel Strong Ale). Standing out from numerous entries with its sophisticated brewing technology and unique flavor profile, it successfully won the gold medal of the competition, interpreting the hardcore strength of high-end craft beer with professional recognition!

As a highly authoritative and influential professional event in the industry, the "Tiangong Cup" China Craft Beer Competition is renowned for its stringent judging standards and professional panel of judges, serving as an important benchmark for evaluating the quality of Chinese craft beer. The gold medal win by Lu Master Abbey Style Quadrupel Strong Ale is not only a full-range high recognition from the judging panel for the product’s flavor, brewing technology and quality control, but also a strong testimony to the market’s affirmation of Jinpai Beer’s deep cultivation in the high-end craft beer sector and dedication to craftsmanship. It also highlights Lu Master’s craft brewing prowess on the industry stage once again.

As a flagship product of the Lu Master brand, this Abbey Style Quadrupel Strong Ale adheres to meticulous craftsmanship in every step from raw material selection to brewing process, creating a unique drinking experience with multiple core selling points and becoming a preferred choice for high-end craft beer enthusiasts. It selects high-quality raw materials such as water, barley malt and wheat malt, paired with two classic hops — Magnum and Hallertau Traditional, and blends five types of malt including caramel malt, crystal malt and black malt. The sincere ratio of four times the grain dosage lays a solid foundation for its rich flavor. Supported by the professional technology of Munich Beer GmbH, Germany, it is elaborately brewed through a deep fermentation process, achieving an alcohol content of ≥10.6% vol and an original wort concentration of 22°P, with premium quality highlighting its superior heritage.

The beer features a deep brown hue, with a rich and dense mousse-like head. The long-lasting creamy white and brown foam delivers an exceptional visual texture. It boasts a complex and intense aroma: rich malt sweetness interweaves with scents of baked bread and caramelization, prominent ester notes are complemented by dark fruit aromas of raisins and plums, accompanied by a subtle peppery spiciness and vanilla hints, as well as a well-balanced alcohol aroma, captivating the senses at first whiff. On the palate, it presents a rich and moderate malt flavor with a sweet aftertaste; it finishes dry yet retains a pleasant sweetness, with a medium-low bitterness that achieves an exquisite balance with the alcohol flavor. Malt sweetness, dark fruit notes and spiciness blend perfectly, smooth and harmonious without heavy cloying sweetness. It has a strong body yet distinct layers, and its rich and timeless flavor vividly interprets the classic characteristics of Abbey beer.

Notably, this beer adopts pure liquid filling technology as an unfiltered cloudy draft beer, retaining yeast components. A small amount of sediment at the bottom of the bottle is normal, preserving the authentic brewing taste to the greatest extent. It can be stored for a long time at 5~25℃ away from light. The delicate 330ml specification is suitable for various scenarios such as small gatherings and solo drinking, aligning with the core of the brand’s "Law of Deep Realm" — every sip is a concentration of time, and only by sipping slowly can one taste its layered flavors.

The gold medal win of Lu Master Abbey Quadrupel Strong Ale at the Tiangong Cup marks an important milestone in the development of the Lu Master brand, and another brilliant achievement in Jinpai Beer’s multi-brand strategic layout. In the future, Jinpai Beer will continue to uphold the philosophy of craftsmanship-driven brewing, supported by technological innovation, and further deepen its presence in the craft beer sector. The brand will assist Lu Master in continuously refining its core products, inheriting and innovating craft brewing techniques, and satisfying consumers’ diversified drinking demands with more high-quality and distinctive craft works, injecting more vitality into the high-quality development of China’s craft beer industry!
