Description
Founded in Spring 2019 as Coast Beer Co by James Brown with the desire to create quality, hop forward alcohol free craft beer for the modern world.

We launched with a simple promise, to only make beer that we love. It's all about taste, quality and creativity. Using the finest ingredients, innovative yeast cultures and modern brewing techniques to create beers that are always alcohol free, vegan and never compromise on taste.

As an independent brewery we're free to experiment, push the boundaries and that’s exactly what we do. With new unique offerings available each year, we pride ourselves on the diversity and range of beer that we produce.

Changed name to BRULO Autumn 2021.

Beers were originally 0.0% but changed over to 0.5% early 2025 for “a much better quality beer, less sweet and more balanced”.

330ml can. Hazy pale yellow with a white head. Aroma of passionfruit, mandarin, lime. Taste of passionfruit, mandarin and lime, citrus peel, low bitterness. Light-medium bodied.
Really nice AF IPA. Not quite at WCBF's own level but getting there.

23/6/2026. Can bought direct from the brewery. Great pour. Aroma is ashy, hoppy, roasted, chocolate, burnt toffee, coffee, piney, touch soapy. Moderate sweetness with good developing roasted bitterness. Moderate body, quite smooth, average carbonation. Really good for a NA beer, a nice cross between a BIPA and a stout.

31/5/2026. Can bought directly from Brulo. Enjoyed from the can at home in the garden with Eva. Aroma is coconut, tropical, sunscreen. Taste is moderately sweet and bitter, quite drying. Okay body. A little gassy. Perfectly acceptable and decent for an NA beer.

2/5/2026. Can from the brewery. Pours fine. Aroma is sweet, malty, citrus, vanilla, hint of cardboard. Medium sweetness, mild bitterness, tart edge. Light bodied, average carbonation. It’s okay. ITFC leading 2-0 is better.

28/4/2026. Can bought direct from BRULO. Another very decent NA IPA. A little sweeter than Lust For Life. Quite lemony with a hint of coconut. Liked it.
