Firebrand Brewing Co’s hazy non-alcoholic pale ale, Shorebreak, has been named best in Britain in its class at the World Beer Awards.
Brewed with Simcoe, Citra, and Cascade hops, it’s smooth and light, with tons of tropical flavour. It is also gluten free and vegan, and comes in at only 35 calories per can.
“We’re thrilled to have won this prestigious accolade for our much-loved Shorebreak,” said Joe Thomson, co-owner and head brewer at Firebrand.
“It has already gained itself a huge fanbase amongst our customers, but it is incredibly rewarding to also be recognised by the World Beer panel of judges, who are real experts in their field. We fought off stiff competition to be named best in Britain, in a rapidly-growing category!”
Joe added: “When I set up the brewery, more than ten years ago, I had no intention of creating alcohol-free beer, but when I recently took up running, I needed an alternative to my daily pint, to help keep my training on track. That’s when I created Shorebreak.
“The response has been overwhelming, and it has quickly become one of our best-selling beers. It is hugely satisfying to know that the experts love it, too.”
