FREE Baron Hasselhoffs chocolate block with every 24 pack case order.

This non alc chocolate stout is cocreated with the team at Baron Hasselhoffs artisan chocolate makers in Wellington. Since February we have brewed stout micro batches and got to work building up this tasty brew with ingredients from all over the pacific.

Cacao from PNG, vanilla from Tonga, and a heady mix of spice to heat up your next beer tasting. In full strength beers the alcohol blends all the flavours together - not our beer - all the flavours play a distinct role in this brewlicious stout.

excellent

excellent, as a previous craft beer drinker and brewer, I'd say spot on, all the good flavours were there, I even enjoyed your lager, nice crsip bite.
Not a fan of the spiced chocolate stout though, it sort of made sense alongside the chocolate bar... but just weird alone, not a fan of those spices in a stout.

Nicest lager I've tried in the non-alcoholic range of beers in NZ. And really good service from State Of Play.

Chocolate Stout
Amazing dark choclate flavours

This is a lovely refreshing drink, beautiful complex chocolate flavours and not sweet. 10/10. A new favourite treat for me.
Don’t think this will taste like Guinness, it doesn’t, it’s created a whole new category of its own. Well done State of Play… again.

Love ‘Any time’ Golden Lager All the Time!

This is a fabulous go to lager for any time! We love this tasty brew from Hawke’s Bay made with roasted Canterbury wheat & barley malt, Motueka hops. This is in our fridge always on hand. Oh, yeah, forgot to mention it’s a non alcoholic beer with less than .5% ABV. We don’t even notice, it’s just great beer!

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.

FULL STORY

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’?

I'm probably the wrong person to review this beer

I'm probably the wrong person to review this beer. I love stouts and porters but I'm not so keen on chocolate. To me a stout needs a certain astringency and bitterness but the chocolate spoils this by adding too much sweetness and, frankly, chocolate flavour which spoils the balance. I love the rest of the range but this one just doesn't quite do it for me.

Feels weird

It’s a dark beer for sure, but arguably a Stout. Definitely my least favourite of the bunch. Lacks the body and the intensity of what you’d except from a stout. Head doesn’t hold for more than 5 seconds and it tastes like a watered down dark beer. Wouldn’t recommend. Go for the IPA or the Nectaron instead.

Chocolate Stout

Sorry not for me, and to be honest a bit disappointed. Seemed to me to lack body and substance and just seemed to be a strange chocolate beverage.
Nectaron and IPA are my favourites!
