Below Brew Co Forgot To Take My Pils
By Below Brew Co · UK
Below Brew Co’s hoppy pilsner, where “old school hops meet new school drops”: Saaz, Perle, Hallertau Blanc and Mandarina Bavaria. Below gives it 22 kcal per 100ml. We score it 7.8 out of 10.
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 Forgot To Take My Pils?
Forgot To Take My Pils is the pilsner in Below Brew Co’s current range. Below says “old school hops meet new school drops: Saaz, Perle, Hallertau Blanc & Mandarina Bavaria combine in this wonderfully crisp and refreshing pilsner.” The recipe has changed over the years: under the Lowtide name it was a keller pilsner with Saaz and Perle and an Azacca dry hop.
Below’s product page gives 22 kcal, 5.2g of carbohydrate and 3g of sugar per 100ml: about 97 kcal for a 440ml can. Dry Drinker lists the ingredients as water, hops, yeast, oats, barley and wheat, so it isn’t gluten-free.
We score it 7.8 out of 10. You can buy it from Below’s own shop, Dry Drinker and Wise Bartender. For other lagers, see our ranking of the best alcohol-free lagers.
