Impossibrew Enhanced Lager
By Impossibrew · UK
A 0.5% lager in 440ml cans from Impossibrew, the London-based brand founded by Mark Wong. Impossibrew calls it “Golden. Crisp. Refreshing.” and says it’s vegan and gluten-free. It has 17 kcal per 100ml.
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 Enhanced Lager?
Impossibrew’s two core beers are Enhanced Lager and Enhanced Hazy Pale, and it also sells limited editions: on 28 October 2026, Triple Hopped IPA, Golden Ale and Peach Berry Sour. Impossibrew says the lager is based on a Japanese recipe and dry-hopped, and describes it as “Golden. Crisp. Refreshing.”
Besides water, malted barley, wheat, hops and yeast, the ingredients include what Impossibrew calls its Social Blend: soluble plant fibre, L-theanine, magnesium citrate, ashwagandha root extract, citrus extract and vitamin B1, at 375mg per 100ml. Impossibrew says it’s vegan, and gluten-free at under 20ppm, though it’s brewed with barley and wheat: it says an enzyme brings the gluten down. Per 100ml it has 17 kcal and 0.7g of sugars, about 75 kcal a can.
Impossibrew says its “cryogenic fermentation process” means no alcohol is ever removed, though its FAQ also says 0.5% beer is officially classed as dealcoholised. On 28 October 2026 Impossibrew’s own shop had it from £30 for ten cans; Dry Drinker and Wise Bartender were sold out. We haven’t scored it yet.
