Queer Brewing have added Brighter, Bolder, a hazy IPA, to their alcohol-free line-up, designed to deliver full flavour and body at just 0.5% ABV.
Taking inspiration from their core range 6% ABV hazy IPA Burst Into Bright, Queer Brewing’s head brewer, Andy Potter, asked himself: “Why shouldn’t these flavours be enjoyed by everyone, including sober folks?”
What started as a question evolved into a finely-tuned recipe, blending elements from both the Burst Into Bright recipe, and that of Bold, their 0.5% ABV core range alcohol-free pale ale.
The result is a hazy IPA with tropical notes, a little citrus, and a soft, pillowy body, reminiscent of both its namesakes.
Despite the beer being released to coincide with Dry January, Queer Brewing remain steadfast in their commitment to producing and providing alcohol-free options all year round.
“To us, great alcohol-free beer stands on its own — it’s not an afterthought or a replacement for ‘the real thing’,” said brewery founder Lily Waite-Marsden.
“Many folks in our LGBTQ+ community are sober all the time, so continuing to develop our alcohol-free line-up, and having a consistent, high-quality AF offering available, is a central part of what we do as a brewery.”
