Why we love Bavarian Beers
If you’ve tasted any of our Bavarian brews, you’ll probably quite quickly see why we love them. But why Bavarian beers specifically? Well, allow us to explain...
How is Alcohol Free Beer Made?
There are a variety of different methods that can be used to make a beer alcohol-free. Here at Nirvana Brewery, we use at least three different methods for our different types of beer. We’ll be guiding you through our different methods and which beers are produced using each. So you can learn more about what you’re drinking 😉.
Celebrating Oktoberfest in the UK
We LOVE beer here at Nirvana Brewery. Live and breathe the stuff, quite literally. But when it gets close to Oktoberfest, we get a little jig in our steps and start counting down the days.
The landscape of No and Low Beer
The landscape of no and low brewing is vast and there are a variety of different ways in which different brands produce their no and low beers. In this blog we guide you through what other brands are offering and how we set ourselves apart from the rest here at Nirvana.
Why No and Low Beer is a Game-Changer for Diabetics
Living with diabetes doesn't mean you have to bid goodbye to the occasional beer. It's all about making smart choices, and that's where our No and Low Alcohol Beers step in.
Why 'Stoptober' when you can #STARTOBER with Nirvana
October is the most contradictory months for beer drinkers On one hand you have some of the large charities pushing the ‘Sober in October’ or ‘Stoptober’ message as a way of supporting a healthier lifestyle in the community and bolstering their coffers. We positively support building healthier communities. On the other hand, you have Oktoberfest appearing in the German and non-German bars all around, promoting the social benefits of drinking beer, in large stein glasses, dressing up and getting together with friends. At Nirvana Brewery we believe in being positive, so we are thinking differently and asking people to START something……start drinking our amazing beers. As a pioneer in the brewing of no / low beers we have spent years refining our product to taste great. We would always recommend getting together with friends, catching up, reminiscing, and drinking great alcohol-free beer – you can decide on whether dressing up is required…..😉 Our Helles lager is brewed to a traditional Bavarian recipe with Germanic Spring Barley and Noble hops, this gives amazing flavour, great nose, and fantastic mouthfeel – and that’s why it’s award winning! It is our Oktoberfest super brew. Switching to low / no alcohol beers will lower your calorie intake, reduce the amount of sugar you are consuming and allow you to enjoy the morning after as well as the night before. However, we believe that our beers taste great, and that’s enough reason to #STARTOBER with Nirvana. Nirvana Brewery Bringing Everyone Together.
Why hops are like Luna Lovegood, and fresh beer is important.
Whimsical, ethereal, subtle, inviting…. Hops are the magic in beer. They contribute bitterness to the sweetness of malt, and essential oils responsible for aroma and flavour. Hops help to keep beer fresher, longer and help beer retain its head of foam.
What Will the World Look Like, and Taste Like, Post-Alcohol?
Gen Z are drinking less than the generations that preceded them, and terms like “sober-curious” and “mindful drinking” are gaining popularity amongst millennials. The low- and no-alcohol industry is growing at pace, and there's a lot up for grabs
Alcohol, depression and anxiety
We know, hitting that post valentines high with a hammer... We’ve previously discussed the direct impact of alcohol on your sleep and athletic recovery, all starting to build a picture of the cycles that alcohol influences. This week we’ll dive into a self-perpetuating cycle, a flywheel driven by alcohol.
Valentines 2023: 14 ideas for the 14th!
Coming right off the back of Dry January, Valentines has consistently been a fun one for us at the brewery. So back for 2023, here’s the Nirvana team’s date ideas: Masterchef with a twist….
Valentines 2023: Cheese and Beer anyone?
Cheese platters are synonymous with special occasions. Rich, tangy, decedent cheeses paired with seeded crackers, antipasti and commonly…wine. With such a diverse variety of wines, from Chardonnays to Merlots, it's clear to see why cheese and wine is the go to pairing for any occasion. However, what about the less known combination of beer and cheese? After all, there are just as many beer varieties as there are wine...
Why Non-alcoholic beer beats ‘full-fat’ after exercise.
Back in the day, when Lance Armstrong was the poster child for high performance athletes, he was also the face of Michelob Ultra. Why? Well, the brand position was premium, and understandably low calorie tends to resonate well amongst those of us looking to improve our body fat percentage and still wanting a treat at the end of the day....
