Lost Pier LOOSER
By Lost Pier · UK
A hazy pale ale at 0.5% from Sussex’s Lost Pier, with Ekuanot, Riwaka and Mosaic hops: tropical fruit, juicy mango, ripe melon and bright citrus, 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 LOOSER?
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.
The Alcohol Free Co calls LOOSER “a modern alcohol free pale ale built around serious hop flavour”, with layers of tropical fruit, juicy mango, ripe melon and bright citrus, a slightly dank hop character and a soft, hazy body. The shops say it’s hopped with Ekuanot, Riwaka and Mosaic.
Nobody publishes its calories or ingredients that we could find, and Lost Pier’s own website wouldn’t let us check. We haven’t scored it yet.
