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’?

LOVED THE VERY "FRESHNESS" ABOUT THIS BEER. MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE VITRUS FLAVOUR I DETECTED.
Excellent beer very hard to fault.
Best in class of the zero IPAs.
