Lost Pier Bière de Boire Lager
By Lost Pier · UK
Lost Pier’s French-style alcohol-free lager, 0.5%, in 440ml cans: crisp and clean, with a light malt base and gentle bitterness, as the shops described it. It’s no longer on sale in the UK, so this page is a record of it.
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 Bière de Boire?
Lost Pier began in 2017 as a beer project of Quaff, a wine merchant in Hove, with Dan Gale as its brewer; a local paper reported that the name was inspired by Brighton’s crumbling pier. Lost Pier Brewing Ltd, based in West Sussex with a taproom in Burgess Hill, is owned by Dan Gale and Ronald Janssen, with no larger drinks company involved. The UK shops sell three Lost Pier alcohol-free beers: LOOSER, a hazy pale ale, Wave Breaker, another hazy pale, and Nitro Stout. We also keep a record of Bière de Boire, a French-style lager that’s no longer on sale.
Untappd lists Bière de Boire as a “French Style Low Alcohol Lager”, and Wholesale Alcohol Free, the UK trade supplier that listed it, called it a modern, table-style lager: “Clean fermentation keeps the profile crisp, while a light malt base provides subtle grain character without sweetness”, with a dry, refreshing finish. It came in 440ml cans and was brewed in the UK, a German shop says.
People were still checking it in on Untappd in August 2026, but by October no UK shop had it, the UK trade supplier that listed it had sold out, and a German shop was clearing its last cans, so it looks as though Lost Pier has stopped making it; Lost Pier hasn’t said so, and its own website wouldn’t let us check. We used to say we couldn’t find any trace of it. Nobody published its calories or ingredients, and we didn’t score it.
