BIG DROP - Big Drop was launched in October 2016 by the-then City lawyer Rob Fink, along with his school-friend/band-mate, designer and entrepreneur, James Kindred. The idea for a brewing business that only made alcohol-free beer was driven by their own lifestyle changes (eg fatherhood) and the frustration that there were no good alcohol-free beer options. We are Milk & More, a trading name of MoreCo Group Limited (“MoreCo”). MoreCo is a Limited Company registered in England under Company number 13537233. Our registered office is at Second Floor, Park View, Riverside Way, Camberley, United Kingdom, GU15 3YL.I first reviewed Pine Trail in early 2018. I’m convinced the recipe has been tweaked since then, so this an update of my earlier review. Flavours, mouthfeel and appearance It says on the can that it is a "World Beer Award Style winner", I can see that as the can logo and design is quite swanky. It is also a Certified Gluten Free brew, low in sugar and ok for vegetarians, if non alcoholic wasn't bad enough! Pine Trail Pale Ale: This American Pale Ale style beer is a delight for the senses, delivering on all levels. Rosy floral aromas are immediate as you pour, with a light and limey citrus bite on the palate and a balanced but obvious bitterness to finish. The lactose also adds a few more calories to this brew. But there’s still only around 62 calories per 330ml bottle or can – about half the calories of a 330ml bottle of 3.6% pale ale. There’s about 12g of carbs per 330ml serving, 0.3g of which is sugar.

Pine Trail Pale Ale has less than 10 PPM of gluten and is safe for people with gluten intolerances and Coeliac disease. Pine Trail pours a hazy amber colour, with a magnificent head of foam that provides a buffer as you sip. The foam leaves a pleasant amount of lacing. The most impressive no/low alcohol beer I have ever tried; no argument, it just is.” — Melissa Cole, British Guild of Beer Writers From the pour we get a massive white head, pretty big, a lot of carbonation going on. The colour is golden amber. Not bad on the eye.

Its Stout won a Gold Medal at the International Beer Challenge and a UK Silver Medal at the World Beer Awards when judged against full-strength stouts and porters. It also won a Gold medal at the US Open Beer Championship.

liability which may not be limited or excluded under section 31(1) of the Consumer Rights Act 2015; The aroma is very sweet, very sweet malts I am getting. Piney and citrusy on the nose, plus some honey. Kind of smells like a perfume, very aromatic, floral and distinctive. Nice. Pine Trail is a dry-hopped beer. This gives more aroma and flavour to the beer without adding more bitterness. But it means the beer costs more to produce because of the cost of additional hops and the extra time it takes. Big Drop has won over 40 major international beer titles including four times being judged ‘World’s Best’ at the World Beer Awards and beating full-strength beers in blind tastings.

There’s also a pleasant apple-blossom flavour, which I’ve noticed is a feature of many of Big Drop’s beers. An expert might say it’s coming from the yeast the brewery uses on its sub-0.5% beers. Anyhow, it sits nicely with the other flavours to create a distinctive ale. Verdict Pouring from the can we get a pale golden liquid with lively carbonation and a wee fluffy head that shrinks down but does linger for a while. On the nose we get the aromas teased by the beer’s name; resinous piney hops, also tropical and citrus notes, with also a sweet undertone. Very fresh and clean.

Svart/Hvit from @nogneo . Treacle, coffee, roasted malts and vanilla on the nose, restrained bitterness with more roasted grains, coffee and a slight caramel sweetness as we taste. Lovely hefty body. Could easily pass for a full-fat stout free-beer.co.uk/nogne-o-svar… #alcoholfree @FreeBeer_UK - Sep 5 We will make any reimbursement due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the following deadlines: In my view, by far the best of the low-alcohol brigade is Big Drop Brewing Co. All its beers come in at just 0.5%, and all of them are excellent – the stout in particular is a jaw-dropper. Superb flavour without compromise.” — Olly Smith, Mail on Sunday About Big DropThis beer contains a little lime juice too, to bring out the other citrus flavours provided by the hops. Big Drop contract brews in batches through a network of brewing partners worldwide, meaning it can produce fresh beer – locally and ethically – with a minimal carbon footprint. Big Drop specialises in alcohol-free beer and it’s all good. I tried the pale ale and the lager, too, and both are excellent, but the stout really is the business.” — Adrian Chiles, The Guardian While this beer is good out of the can, it is really elevated to the next level when it is dropped into some great glassware. If you have read my content or watched any of it over on YouTube you’ll know that I am a big fan of, well priced and great quality glassware as it really takes non-alcoholic beer to flavour levels that rival and often exceeds traditional alcoholic beer.
