Beavertown Lazer Crush
By Beavertown · UK
Beavertown’s alcohol-free IPA: 0.3%, brewed with a Pichia yeast that makes very little alcohol, and hopped with Azacca, Amarillo and Citra. Beavertown promises “sweet peach iced tea with light grapefruit bitterness”. We score it 8.5 out of 10, and Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Ocado all sell it.
At 0.3% 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 Lazer Crush?
Lazer Crush was Beavertown’s first alcohol-free beer, launched in October 2020. Beavertown calls it “a lazer-sharp IPA at a Monday to Sunday crushable 0.3% alc”, and its tasting notes promise “a zap of sweet peach iced tea and ripe mango with a hint of fresh pine”, then “bags of orange and zesty citrus” and a grapefruit bitterness.
Beavertown puts the low alcohol down to the yeast, and doesn’t mention any alcohol-removal step. Lazer Crush is made “with one exception, the help of a unique yeast strain (it’s called Pichia)”, Beavertown says, which “creates the same great beer flavours we know and love from a standard yeast fermentation, just without the alcohol.” The recipe is Pilsner malt with Azacca, Amarillo and Citra hops, at 35 IBU.
The four-packs now in supermarkets give 27 kcal, 5.9g of carbohydrate and 3.0g of sugar per 100ml: about 89 kcal a can. Beavertown’s own site still says 83 calories a can, which matches an older label. Beavertown says all its beers are vegan, and it contains barley, so it isn’t gluten-free.
The cans say Lazer Crush is “brewed and canned for” Beavertown in the EU; Beavertown doesn’t say which brewery makes it. It’s the only alcohol-free beer Beavertown sells today: a 0.5% lager, Astro-Nought, followed in 2022 but is no longer on sale.
We score it 8.5 out of 10; our Lazer Crush review has the tasting notes. It’s cheapest on supermarket offers or by the case from Beavertown: our Beavertown discount codes page compares the prices.
