WE ARE STATE OF PLAY

We believe everyone should be able to share a beer regardless of the alcohol content – it just has to taste great, like good beer should. 

Our proprietary brewing method creates less than 0.5% alc beers that are also low in sugar and only 59 calories a whole can. 

All NZ hops from Motueka and Canterbury malt.  Brewed in Sunny Hawkes Bay.  Crack a can today.
