THE SOP GENESIS
After 25 years in big beer our founder Grant Caunter got bored with the booze (and being 50kgs overweight). He still loved beer but his affair with alcohol was over. Hello to a world of non-alc! In NZ back in 2022 there was not a lot of choice, so who better to start NZ’s zero alcohol brewery.
THE ANYWHERE BEER
We’ve seen State of Players enjoying our brews under waterfalls; while bike-riding in the forest; next to rivers and lakes; up mountains and while relaxing in mineral pools. And we asked ourselves – have we just invented ‘The Anywhere Beer’?

Just wanted to say a heartfelt thanks. I am doing dry July. I am certain that if I hadn’t had your great tasting Zero’s in my fridge I would have fallen off the rails. And your beers will be a permanent feature in my fridge.
Cheers
Good flavour
How did you know that precisely 5 minutes ago I cracked open a can.
Spot on brew
Who thought an alcohol free beer could pack a nice hit of hops? This is my go to beer during the week when I'm alocohol free.
My doctor told me "change your lifestyle or else.. there's some good non-alc beer nowadays.." My latest cholesterol results are in and I'm stoked- a direct reduction in LDLs after 3 months. It feels great after trying everything else diet related for 2 years to achieve an indisputable result + it tastes good. Just need to find a healthier carrot cake next...😁
