Beak Nolia IPA
By Beak Brewery · UK
Beak Brewery’s alcohol-free IPA, sold under its own Nolia name: a 0.5% hazy IPA that Beak says is “saturated in super fresh hops” from farms in the Yakima Valley and Nelson, with “flavours of apricot, mango and lime mojitos”. Beak sells it by the single 440ml can.
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 Nolia?
Nolia is the alcohol-free side of Beak Brewery in Lewes, sold under its own name: Untappd lists Nolia as a subsidiary of Beak. It first appeared in shops in June 2025, after “more than a year of research and development”, in the words of Beak’s launch notes as quoted by the shop Craft Metropolis.
Beak calls it a “premium alcohol free IPA” that’s “saturated in super fresh hops – hand-selected from individual farms in the Yakima Valley, US and in Nelson, NZ”, and describes it as “hazy, juicy”, with “flavours of apricot, mango and lime mojitos”. It doesn’t name the hop varieties, and it doesn’t say how it keeps the strength to 0.5%.
Beak lists the allergens as malted barley, oats, wheat and gluten, so it isn’t gluten-free. Beak doesn’t say whether it’s vegan, and the shops that sell it disagree. Beak doesn’t publish nutrition figures either.
Beak has also made a limited Nolia NZ Edition, with what it called “double helpings” of New Zealand hops and “flavours of lime, white grape and passionfruit”. It was sold out everywhere we checked.
To buy the standard Nolia, go to Beak’s own shop, which sells single cans at £4, or an independent bottle shop. For a hazy IPA you can pick up in a bigger order, see our guide to the best alcohol-free hazy IPAs.

About Beak Brewery
Beak began as a nomadic project by the food writer Daniel Tapper, who brewed his recipes at other breweries before opening Beak’s own brewery and taproom in Lewes, East Sussex, in 2020. It’s best known for hop-forward IPAs, and it sells its alcohol-free IPA under a separate name, Nolia.
