Brulo Cascadian Tides Stout
By Brulo · UK
“Dark and hoppy. It shouldn’t work but it does.” Brulo’s 0.5% stout is dry-hopped with Columbus and Simcoe for “big citrus and pine” over chocolate and coffee from roasted malts. Brulo gives 56 kcal a can, it’s vegan, and we score it 8.4 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 Cascadian Tides?
The name suggests Cascadian dark ale, a hoppy dark beer style from the US Pacific Northwest. Brulo’s version is a stout, dry-hopped with Columbus and Simcoe for “big citrus and pine”, over a malt bill of Pilsner, rye, wheat, flaked oats, roasted barley and biscuit, with “chocolate and coffee notes from roasted malts”.
Brulo’s own summary is “Dark and hoppy. It shouldn’t work but it does”, with “a solid bitterness that leaves you wanting more”. It’s vegan, with no lactose in the ingredients, and Brulo says it’s brewed to 0.5% from the first day, in Belgium, rather than de-alcoholised.
Brulo gives 56 kcal a can, and Craftzero, an Australian shop, gives 17 kcal per 100ml, which ties it for the fewest calories among the stouts in our calorie comparison tool.
Wise Bartender and Brulo’s own shop had it in stock when we checked; Dry Drinker doesn’t list it. For more dark beers, see our ranking of the best alcohol-free stouts.
