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.

330ml can from Favourite Beers. Gluten Free. Pale golden colour, foamy white head and aroma of citrus, pine, hops. Taste is zesty, citrusy, pale malt, with some lemony hop. Watery mouthfeel, light bodied, soft carbonation, dry zesty hoppy finish. OK.

0.33 l can from 'Beyond Beer', best before March 2025. A little hazy, golden with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, gently fruity-floral aroma of pineapple, lemon peel and some grains. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, gently fruity-floral taste of grains, lemon peel, pineapple and some rubber, followed by a short, moderately bitter, gently dry finish. Thin to medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Quite okay but definitely not their best.

Ich verstehe die Durchschnittsnote nicht. Für alkfrei ist das top, schön röstig, cremig, Bitterkeit dominiert über Süsse.
