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. Cloudy, dark orangey golden to amber colour with average, thick, creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Sweet-ish, doughy yeasty and minimally fruity aroma, hints of red berries, a touch of instant lemon tea, flax; typical alcohol-free doughy flavours as you know from alcohol-free Hefeweizen and other pale beer types. Taste is tart-ish fruity, minimally sweet, doughy yeasty, notes of (sour) red berries, a touch of morello and cherry. Taste is surprisingly tart, quite unusual for an alcohol-free beer - not so much Farmhouse character, though. Quite nice.

Can from Tesco. Slightly hazy cold, with a big, but short-lived, white head. Malty aroma. Lots of tropical fruit flavour, some lemon sharpness, thin malts and a sweet, juicy, finish. Strange, but drinkable in a soft drink sort of way.

Can from Tesco. It pours lightly hazy pale yellow with a medium white head. The aroma is tangy fruits, fleshy melon, green veg, peas and tea with lemon. The taste is sweet - sour, tangy lemon, zingy sherbet, puckering, fruit cordial, bit of green veg, boiled sweets, lilt and sugar with a drying finish. Light body and fine carbonation. Quite an odd experience. I would have guessed this was a soft drink. Def not a hazy ipa anyhow.
