Mash Gang x Siren Out of Nowhere Pilsner
By Mash Gang · UK
A 0.5% West Coast pilsner made by Siren Craft Brew with Mash Gang. Siren says it dry-hops a German lager base with Citra, Idaho 7 and Nelson Sauvin for “fruit cocktail aromas of pineapple, peach and white grape” and a snappy bitterness. Siren lists it at £3.50 a can, but it was sold out when we checked.
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 Out of Nowhere?
Out of Nowhere is a collaboration between Siren Craft Brew, the Berkshire craft brewery, and the “no/low heroes Mash Gang”, as Siren calls them. Siren sells it under its own name, in 440ml cans.
It’s a West Coast pilsner: “all about clean, crisp drinking with snappy bitterness”, in Siren’s words. The base is a traditional German lager, and the dry hop of Citra, Idaho 7 and Nelson Sauvin is there for “fruit cocktail aromas of pineapple, peach and white grape”. (The brew sheet on Siren’s page lists Mosaic, Citra and Simcoe instead, so the exact hops may have changed between batches.) Siren labels it vegan friendly, and it contains gluten.
Siren lists it at £3.50 a can, but it was sold out when we checked in October 2026, and Mash Gang doesn’t sell it. For a hoppy pilsner in stock, try Below Brew Co Forgot To Take My Pils or Clausthaler Dry Hopped.

About Mash Gang
Mash Gang began in 2020, during the first lockdown, as a home-brewing project between friends, and it makes only alcohol-free beer. It has no brewery of its own: its beers are brewed to 0.5% with partner breweries, which have included Northern Monk in Leeds and Fierce Beer in Aberdeen, and from 2026 Hall & Woodhouse in Dorset. The non-alcoholic drinks company DioniLife has owned it since 2024. Its core range today is Chug, Glug and Journey Juice, alongside Lesser Evil, a cherry chocolate stout.
