Basqueland Hero Hazy IPA
By Basqueland · Spain
Basqueland’s first alcohol-free beer, a 0.5% hazy IPA from the Basque Country, hopped with Vic Secret and Cashmere for what the brewery calls “aromas of mango, ripe stone fruit, and hints of citrus”. It’s unfiltered and unpasteurised. Dry Drinker lists it but was sold out when we checked.
At 0.5% ABV, this isn’t alcohol-free under UK guidance, which keeps the term for 0.05% or less. We list it with alcohol-free beers, as UK shops do. How UK labels work

What is Hero Hazy IPA?
Hero Hazy IPA was Basqueland’s first alcohol-free beer, released in 2024. “The first non-alcoholic beer from Basqueland had to be a hop-forward IPA,” the brewery says. It was first sold simply as Hero, or Hero SIN (“sin alcohol” is Spanish for alcohol-free).
Basqueland calls it “an unfiltered, unpasteurized non-alcoholic Hazy IPA made with natural ingredients”, “retaining all the flavors of the malts, yeast, and hops used in its creation”. The hops are Vic Secret and Cashmere Cryo. Basqueland doesn’t say how it keeps the strength to 0.5%, and it doesn’t publish nutrition or allergen information.
Hero is now a range of alcohol-free beers in 330ml cans: Basqueland also sells Hero West Coast IPA, Hero Tostada, an amber ale, and Hero Stout.
In the UK, Dry Drinker lists cases of 6, 12 and 24 cans (£25.75 for six), but they were sold out when we checked. For a hazy IPA you can buy now, see our guide to the best alcohol-free hazy IPAs.
