Brulo Lust for Life DDH IPA
By Brulo · UK
Brulo’s flagship: a 0.5% double dry-hopped IPA with Simcoe, Citra and Mosaic, which won two stars at the Great Taste Awards 2026. Brulo promises “a ripe, juicy character of mango, peach and pine”. It’s vegan, and we score it 8.6 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 Lust For Life?
Lust For Life is Brulo’s flagship: “our flagship beer that started it all”, it says. It’s double dry-hopped with Simcoe, Citra and Mosaic on a base of Pilsner and Pale Ale malts with flaked wheat, and Brulo describes “a ripe, juicy character of mango, peach and pine” with “the perfect balance of flavour, bitterness and drinkability”.
Brulo says its beer is “brewed alcohol free from the first day of the brew, not stripped back at the end”, rather than brewed strong and de-alcoholised. The can’s label, as Morrisons lists it, says it’s brewed at De Proefbrouwerij in Lochristi, Belgium, a contract brewer.
In 2026 it won two stars at the Great Taste Awards, the organiser’s directory shows. The label gives 23 kcal and 2.8g of sugar per 100ml, or 76 kcal a can. Brulo’s website says 56 kcal a can; we use the label figure.
It’s easy to buy: Morrisons sells four-packs, Brulo names East of England Co-op and Lincolnshire Co-op as stockists, and Dry Drinker, Wise Bartender and Brulo’s own shop all had it in stock. See our ranking of the best alcohol-free IPAs for how it compares.
