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.

33cl Blik van ONP5. Zwarte kleur, beige kraag. Leer, tabak, asbak, wat roggebrood en caramel, gebrande mout, hint van cacao. Ik kan me voorstellen dat het asbaksmaakje niet iedereen bevalt. Lichte body.

33cl Blik van ONP5. Vrijwel helder goudgele kleur, zepige kraag. Aroma van wat citroengras en citrus, licht bloemig, smaak is enorm waterig met wat citrus, net Spa met citroen met minder bubbels, af en toe wat granig. Vrij teleurstellend.

330ml bottle from Wise Bartender. Gluten Free. Golden colour, white foam head and aroma of citric rind, vegetal, soured fruit. Taste is pale malty, hints of tea, paper, biscuit, funk, with citrus zest, sour fruity notes, and some tart acidity. Slick mouthfeel, light bodied, soft carbonation, drying sour finish. OK

Bottle from Suffolk Food Hall, Ipswich. Black with a nice smooth texture. It's a pretty decent low alcohol stout with an abundance of chocolate in its taste.
