BrewDog Hazy AF
By BrewDog · UK
BrewDog’s alcohol-free New England IPA, launched in 2020 as an alcohol-free version of Hazy Jane: “the juiciest alcohol-free beer in town”, BrewDog says. It’s 0.5% with 14 kcal per 100ml, it contains lactose, so it isn’t vegan, and we score it 8.0 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 Hazy AF?
Hazy AF is the alcohol-free version of Hazy Jane, BrewDog’s 5% New England IPA. BrewDog launched it in January 2020 and calls it Hazy AF; Sainsbury’s sells it as Hazy Jane, and we used to list it as Hazy Jane AF. “Tropical fruits and grassy notes mix it up. Oats and wheat unite for a smoother ride,” BrewDog says: “full flavour, no alcohol, all out New England.”
It’s hopped with Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe, and brewed with oats and wheat for its haze. Like Punk AF, it contains lactose, from milk, and BrewDog says it isn’t suitable for vegans. The UK label gives 14 kcal and 1.8g of sugar per 100ml. BrewDog says all its alcohol-free beers are brewed to 0.5% with “special recipes and micro fermentation processes”, rather than brewed to full strength with the alcohol taken out.
It’s brewed in Ellon, Aberdeenshire. You’ll find it at Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Ocado and on BrewDog’s own shop, but not at Dry Drinker or Wise Bartender. For the rest of the style, see our alcohol-free hazy IPAs.
Tasting notes and what to expect
Appearance and aroma: Properly hazy — full opacity, pale-yellow-to-golden, fluffy white head. Big juicy aroma: mango, pineapple, mandarin orange, with a soft cereal-grain note from the oat-and-wheat grist underneath. Aroma-led rather than bitterness-led, in the hazy IPA tradition.
Palate and finish: Medium-to-full body — softer mouthfeel than Punk AF, with the characteristic pillowy texture of a well-made hazy. Tropical fruit flavours run through the middle, with low perceived bitterness (much lower than Punk AF or Nanny State), finishing softly rather than with a sharp bite. The closest BrewDog gets to the modern juice-bomb hazy template.
Food pairings: Works with the foods hazy IPAs traditionally pair with — fried chicken, spicy ramen, Asian-leaning dishes, soft cheeses, fruit-led desserts. The fruit-forward profile bridges savoury and sweet pairings well.
How it compares: Less aggressive than Punk AF or Nanny State, but slightly less polished than Northern Monk Faith Alcohol Free or Lucky Saint Hazy IPA in the dedicated-AF-craft tier. An AF hazy IPA you can find on UK supermarket shelves, which is its strength — broad availability with credible craft credentials. See the hazy IPA hub for the full category.
