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.

Bottle from BeerRitz as big drop Hazelnut Porter. It pours clear deep ruby - brown with a quickly dissipating beige head. The aroma is sweet, toothy, toffee, werther's original, hazelnut liqueur, snickers and some toasty malts. The taste is toasty and drysh upfront, then sticky and toothy, caramel / toffee, cacao, hazelnut, malt loaf and some wet cardboard with a short, sticky sweet finish. Light body, fine carbonation and oily mouth feel. Condition let's it's down to be honest. Decent enough for a low alcohol option.

Blik thuis geprobeerd. Het is een helder geel bier met een stevig wit schuim. Het aroma is fris en citrus achtig, licht harsig. De smaak is hoppig, bitter en citrus achtig.

De keuken zit erin, dus tijd voor een alcoholvrije rakker. Smaakt niet alcoholvrij, maar wel heel licht. In z’n stijl dus prima.

330ml can. Alcohol and gluten free. Sparkling, orangey gold colour, bubbly white foam head and aroma of flowery, fruity, pine. Taste is light malt, grain, earthy with some floral lime citrus and pine hoppy bitterness. Thin mouthfeel, light bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy finish. Quite drinkable.
