With the festivities behind us and the new decade kicking off with a bang, more and more consumers aim to cut their alcohol intake by switching to low or no alcoholic drinks, and not only in January. The shift towards a healthier lifestyle means that low and no alcoholic drinks are set to be one of the biggest trends of 2020.

Low Alcohol Beer
The Original Small Beer
A staple of British daily life in the 1700’s, small beer was traditionally brewed between 0.5 – 2.8% ABV. As clean drinking water was made more available in the 19th century, the need for small beer passed and the art of its creation was lost. Today, using sustainable brewing methods, Small Beer Brew Co. is committed to reinvigorating a liquid that was once at the very heart of society.
