Big Drop Drop Reef Point Craft Lager 0.5% beer without alcohol

How to have fun

At what temperature should you drink alcohol-free beer?

Good alcohol -free beer can never be enjoyed too cold.
We avoid serving it frozen for example because the palate will be numb by the cold and you will not perceive aromas or delicate flavors.
If your alcohol -free beer comes out of the fridge, wait 5 to 10 minutes before tasting it so that alcohol -free beer warms slightly.

The choice of ideal temperature depends on your location and the season, but we can recommend the following tasting temperatures, never below 5 ° C:

Light alcohol -free beer: 5 ° C, including light and summer beer, flavored beer, white beer, etc.

Craft -free beer: 8 ° C, this temperature is suitable for most so -called artisanal or craft beers.

The wise tasters will enjoy enjoying their alcohol -free beer at different temperatures to compare and decide the temperature.

Which alcohol -free beer glass to choose to serve?

There are many forms of alcohol -free beer glasses.
Mugs, glasses on foot, flutes, straight pint type glasses, chalices ...
Each brewer offers glasses assorted to its creation, in addition to what you find in the trade or at Sanzalc.

We recommend that you use a glass with a rod or a handle like a mug so that alcohol -free beer does not overheat when it comes into contact with your hand holding the glass.
Try different glasses to see if you feel the same with the same alcohol -free beer, the release of aroma in contact with the mouth varies a lot between narrow glasses and wide glasses.

Whether you want to exceed the DLUO (deadline for optimal use) or not, it is necessary to keep your alcohol -free beers in good conditions to preserve or develop the aromas and flavors of the latter.

Alcohol -free beer fears light and heat.

Also, there are 3 basic rules to respect:

Do not expose alcohol -free beers to light, as it directly impacts hops present in the drink, degrading it.

Hops having conservative properties, the alteration of it will make alcohol-free beer can be kept for a long time.

This can also develop unpleasant tastes.

Maintaining beer without alcohol at a constant temperature, ideally between 10 and 15 degrees, in a cellar, like wine.

Too cold a temperature will alter the aromas.

Conversely, too hot a temperature will have the consequence of developing them too quickly.

Hold on alcohol -free beer vertically to reduce the risk by avoiding contact between the liquid and the cap.

This allows the yeast to settle quietly at the bottom of the bottle.

In a word, alcohol -free beer has no shelf life but only an optimal or minimal shelf life.

Therefore, the DLUO can easily exceed several weeks/months without being as long as bad.

And in any case, you should remember that this will not pose a health danger.

Allergies information

The absence of a gluten explained
Gluten is a protein compound that is most often found in wheat, barley, rye and oats. Wheat and barley are often key ingredients in the production of drinks such as beer and in the sealing of wine barrels. Gluten -free drinks avoid using these products. To be labeled gluten -free, the product must contain less than 20 parts per million gluten, which corresponds to a trace of barley!

How is this product compatible with the vegan lifestyle?
The drink is free from any animal product or derivative. In addition, the bottle, the label and the glue are also free from animal products.

How is this product low in sugar and what about carbohydrates?
According to government directives, a low sugar content means that the drink contains less than 2.5 g of sugar per 100 ml. Products with a high sugar content cause an insulin peak and we react by storing more carbohydrates in the form of fat. These are generally more complex sugar forms, such as starchs and fibers, which the body uses as an energy source.

Find out more about ...

Big Drop was launched in October 2016 by Rob Fink, then a lawyer for the city, and by James Kindred, designer and entrepreneur, who was his school friend and his group companion.

The idea of ​​a brewing company that only makes alcohol -free beers has been motivated by their own lifestyle changes (for example paternity) and the frustration of not finding good beer options without alcohol.

With the famous experimental brewer Johnny Clayton (formerly of Wild Beer Co), they perfected the techniques of manufacturing artisanal beer without alcohol, without the need to artificially eliminate alcohol. The result does not compromise the taste and does not exceed 0.5 % alcohol.

Big Drop does not only use barley. She uses barley, rye, wheat and oats to obtain exceptional flavor and aroma. And it does not use only one type of barley. She uses more than 20 special cereals for all of her beers. Its wide range of beers includes Stout, Lager, Pale Ale, IPA, Brown Ale, Golden Ale, Winter Ale and Sour. So there is something for everyone.
