Five top London breweries offering 0% beer
The London beer scene has been thriving for many years now, with dozens upon dozens of fantastic breweries offering up some fantastic brews.
Many have gone on to big things, while others are gathering cult status, with hubs of incredible breweries in the likes of Bermondsey and Hackney Wick.
Over the last few years, the city’s beer scene has also been revelling in its non-alcoholic offering too, keeping up with those that no longer drink, or perhaps haven’t to begin with.
We’re seeing more Gen Z and Millennials remain sober, aware of the health risks posed by alcohol, while that’s also having a knock on effect to older generations, many of whom are recognising they have a problem and are stumping up the alcohol rehab cost to move towards a 0% lifestyle.
As a result, more breweries are focusing their efforts on their 0% brews and across London there are several that are leading the way. So, if you’re looking for some exciting non-alcoholic beers, here are five of the best London breweries providing them…
