Full all-malt body and lightly hopped Our latest addition is a golden lager. It’s been on our radar for a while, and up till now, it's impossible to brew. We have found a new yeast specific for zeros that can work well with wheat and barley to brew an all-malt lager. A quality Golden lager needs quality ingredients and this all NZ beer delivers! The grains of Canterbury give the body of Riwaka hops the finish. Enjoy

Let customers speak for us
from 372 reviewsThey are all great beers
Another example of decent 0% beer.
Have been buying SOP beer for a while now and like the variety in the build a box. Would like the ability to change the beer type in the subscription order though. ie: change sun breaker for chocolate stout over the winter.
Also I have found the IPA often foams badly on opening the can. Is this normal?
Great beer to have a guilt free reward after a work session
I love this alcohol free beer, it feels like a real treat to drink. Full bodied and really tasty. This is a great tool to reduce alcohol consumption, very satisfying!!
Love buying on line.
We are great fans of State of Play:you would swear that they have alcohol.
This was a great chance to test-drive several flavours. So much fun!
Tastes like beer! No higher praise for a zero alcohol than that.
Love the beer. Actually tastes like beer! Thank you.
Great tasting beer all round!
Top beer- very refreshing
Love the range and the ease of subscription
Have cut back my drinking significantly and needed a substitute.
Got a mix of all the variety’s have to say the IPA was a favourite and the stout. All are very palatable so try them all see where it leads
I LOVE THIS PRODUCT when i feel like a beer with out the buzz this is now an easy choice . Best non alcohol i have found . Easy to sink two and soem times i follwo up with a 'real 'beer . Feel like i have had 3 beers but effect of one . Atlast .
I love the state of play story and get excited every time I get to re order my 24 mix box. Each can has a unique journey

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’?

This lager is a life saver. I now have to order twice as much as I have my partner stealing my stash on alcohol free days
For me it is all about IPA 5 Star, but Larger comes a close second 4.5 Star, and Nectaron comes 4 Star. The others I will leave for now.
Excellent-tastes like “real” beer
