Description
Big Drop Brewing Co. is a new craft beer company dedicated to making great beer with an ABV of no more than 0.5%.
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. Along with renowned experimental brewer, Johnny Clayton (formerly of Wild Beer Co), they’ve perfected techniques to make alcohol-free craft beer without the need for artificial removal of alcohol.
The 2018 contract with a leading supermarket chain will require Big Drop, which moved production from a small-batch brewer in Bermondsey to Sussex-based own-label specialist Hepworth, to scale up production from 10,000 litres per month to some 40,000 litres.
Production moved to Black Sheep Brewery after a deal was agreed with Keystone Brewing Group, announced December 2024.

330 ml can, from leske.no . ABV is 0.5%, IBU 35. Black colour, small tan head. Aroma of moderately roasted malts, oatmeal and porridge, lactose and cocoa. Smooth flavour, with cocoa, oatmeal and lactose, but not too sweet. A slight fruitiness too. Very drinkable.

440 ml can, from leske.no . ABV is 0.5%. Crystal clear golden to peach colour, moderate to small white head. Aroma of artificial peach and raspberry candy. The flavour is not as sweet as I feared, but has still notes of said candy. A moderate fruity acidity, notes of malic acid. Hardly any bitterness.

Bottle from House Of Trembling Madness. Clear amber/brown body with a thin beige head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of copper, nuts and caramel. Flavour of coriander and earth with a bitter, rusty finish. Thin body with a watery texture. Soft fizz. It smells fine but tastes slightly sour. I’d have liked it more if it was sweeter.

Hissig ved åpning. Intenst bitter, og med en nesten besk bitterhet. Til sammen fikk det meg til å stusse på om den var infisert. Ingen ny favoritt, men Magni likte den, så noe må de ha gjort rett
