Pomona Island Nothing To Get Hung About
By Pomona Island · UK
A 0.5% pale ale from Salford’s Pomona Island and the alcohol-free specialists We Can Be Friends, hopped with Cryo Mosaic, Amplifire Riwaka and Citra: hoppy and juicy, like lemon and lime soda pop, 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 Nothing To Get Hung About?
Pomona Island is an independent brewery in Salford, set up in 2017 near MediaCity “in very DIY fashion”, its co-founder Nick Greenhalgh has said. Nothing To Get Hung About is a collaboration with We Can Be Friends, the Bromley-based alcohol-free brand already in our directory.
The shops say it’s hopped with Cryo Mosaic, Amplifire Riwaka and Citra, and The Alcohol Free Co describes it as hoppy and juicy, with a refreshing lemon and lime soda pop character. We couldn’t read Pomona Island’s own website. One shop lists it at 0.0%; the others say 0.5%.
