By far the best New Zealand brewed non-alcoholic beer. The chocolate notes are delicate, with a lovely overtone of dried fruits. A very delicious brew indeed.

The Mission

We should all be able to have a beer together, regardless of the alcohol content.

That's why we brew real craft beer at less than 0.5% — naturally, in sunny Hawke's Bay, with taste first above all else. Because with the choice of good zeros, there will be great change.
