An alcohol-free beer range is coming to the Great British Beer Festival for this first time this year, thanks to Netherlands-based Braxzz Brewery.
A relative newcomer to the alcohol-free and low-alcohol market, Braxzz Brewery has developed an alcohol-free IPA, Amber Ale and the world’s first alcohol-free porter. Braxzz has ambitions to expand its range over the coming months, and visitors will have the chance to sample its core range throughout the festival week.
Festival organiser, Catherine Tonry, said: “Alcohol-free beer has become increasingly important in recent years and thankfully brewers have been keeping pace with consumer demands — there are now some fantastic innovations in the sector and a much wider range of styles and flavours than ever before.”
Braxzz Brewery aims to improve variety in the low-alcohol and alcohol-free category by creating alcohol-free and low-alcohol drinks with zero compromise on taste. It was founded by a Dutch and British team, which includes a member of one of the best-known brewing families in the world, the Swinkels family.
James Leary, of Braxzz, said: “We are delighted to be attending the Great British Beer Festival for hopefully the first of many appearances. We hope to provide something different at the event and give another option to anybody who will not be drinking but still wants to taste craft ale. Our range is set to improve and expand over the coming months and I look forward to being able to offer this category to visitors throughout the week.”
