Can a stout be truly alcohol-free without artificial removal?
In short: Discover how Big Drop Brewing mastered the chemistry of low-ABV beer. This video features a tasting of Dark Noir, a rich stout that achieves its profile through precise brewing techniques rather than chemical processing.
Launched in 2016 by Rob Fink and James Kindred, Big Drop Brewing partnered with experimental brewer Johny Clayton to perfect a method for brewing beer at 0.5% ABV. Unlike many non-alcoholic options that use artificial processes to strip alcohol from a finished beer, this brewery focuses on perfecting the grain bill, yeasts, and techniques during the brewing stage itself.
The featured Dark Noir stout is gluten-free and crafted with ingredients including oats, rye, and lactose. It is characterized by notes of coffee, cocoa nibs, and sweet vanilla. For the best experience, the brewery recommends letting the beer warm up for about an hour after taking it out of the fridge.
