Best alcohol-free stout – Nirvana Brewery dark and rich stout!!
The lovely Emmie Harrison-West over at the Independent delved deep into alcohol free last week, awarding our beloved Stout ‘Best alcohol-free stout’! A huge shout out to our community on Twitter for pointing Emmie in our direction, here’s the review: With the term “nirvana” meaning an idyllic state of mind or place, Nirvana Brewery has created just that with its alcohol-free stout. Dark, rich and decadent, it’s all chocolate. First, it pours a gorgeous chocolate brown, then it’s a heady milk chocolate and inviting roasted coffee aromas on the nose, finishing with a sweet, smooth chocolate coating the tongue while you sip it. It’s one to savour as a dessert beer or for a lazy Sunday night (some people call it “Stout Sunday” after all!). It’s unbelievably comforting, thanks to its malty backbone, and is vegan, gluten-free and proudly AF – like all of the independent, family-run Leyton-based brewery’s beers. This is a beer to enjoy and savour in peace. Full article here: 11 best alcohol-free beers: Low ABV tipples that are as good as the real deal. 🍻

New seasonal special Lemon Gose 0.5% from Nirvana Brewery to support humanitarian aid in Ukraine
Our new Limited Edition Lemon Gose 0.5% is an easy drinking tart wheat beer modelled after the traditional sour beers of Northern Germany. A refreshing and rejuvenating Gose, this beer is steeped with toasted Coriander seeds, dried lemon peels and a handful of dried persian limes for a subtle complexity. Maldon Sea Salt flakes have also been added to balance the tart lemon and lime flavours. Supporting Ukraine With the summer sun just around the corner we thought a bright and sunny beer was in order for our latest seasonal brew. However we know life has been far from sunny for those affected by the war in Ukraine. Like many others we want to do what we can to support those affected by the conflict, so 10% of all proceeds from our Limited Edition Lemon Gose 0.05% beer will go straight to supporting humanitarian aid. The beer bottle design bears the blue and yellow colours of the Ukrainian flag. Graphic lemons and salt flake drops give a nod to two of the beer's distinctive ingredients.
