Klokk & Co Gringo
By Klokk & Co · Norway
Klokk & Co’s alcohol-free Mexican-style lager, 0.5%, with lime and ginger: light and crisp, with a touch of maize, fresh lime and gentle ginger warmth, The Alcohol Free Co says.
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 Gringo?
Klokk & Co is a small Norwegian company in Oslo, founded in 2016. It had three founders, the grocer MENY says, among them its brewmaster, Leif Klokk, and Kristine Lund. It develops its beers in its own test lab and has them brewed under contract in Norway, mainly at Arendals Bryggeri in a long-term partnership and on spare capacity elsewhere, MENY says. Gringo is its alcohol-free Mexican-style lager, on Untappd since 2020.
It’s brewed with barley malt and maize, with lime and ginger juice, Vinmonopolet lists, whose tasting note finds it light, slightly fruity and juicy, with pale malt, ginger and lime. The Alcohol Free Co describes soft malt, a touch of maize smoothness, fresh lime sharpness and gentle ginger warmth. Untappd gives 28 IBU.
Nobody publishes its calories that we could find. We haven’t scored it yet.
