Description
Began life as a contract brewer of low-alcohol beers whose beers were understood to be brewed by Hambleton.

The multi award winning brewer, Drop Bear Beer Co. exploded onto the UK beer scene in 2019 with the mission of bringing true craft to the alcohol free beer market. Seven awards, four craft beers, and quadruple percentage growth later Drop Bear is the UK’s top rated alcohol free brewer and has expanded into Canada, Spain, and Germany.

Traditionally brewed with only the highest quality ingredients, Drop Bear believes in great AF beer for all. That’s why the entire range is gluten free, vegan, and low calorie.

With a loyal and ever increasing fan base, Drop Bear is the craft beer that the alcohol free market long desired.

In August 2023 Drop Bear purchased the Tomos Watkin brewery and began brewing their beers on site, in addition to the Tomos Watkin beers. This move meant that, at the time, Drop Bear were the UK's largest non-alcoholic beer brewery.

Can from Wally's Delicatessen, Cardiff. Black with mahogany hints, a tan head and a gentle fizz. Blackberries up front, chocolate and woodsmoke in the middle, and treacle to finish. Body starts off ok but oddly gets much thinner as you drink. It's decent - definitely one of the best low alcohol brews I've had - but as will all low alcohol beers it's held back by the thin body. My quest for a top-notch low alcohol beer goes on, but this one is definitely a big step in the right direction (with the added bonus that it's a rare West Glamorgan tick!). I'll definitely try some more from Drop Bear if I see them.

--Sample, thanks oh6gdx! -- Black, mid szied head. Light aroma of coffee and chocolate. Sweetish with light tothink body and clean mouthfeel. Some ashy, earthy notes, slight coffee. Metallic finish. Empty, but still better than most attempts on NA stout. Might even prefer it over tap water.
