Quantock QuAF
By Quantock Brewery · UK
A 0.5% pale ale from Somerset’s Quantock Brewery, with Nelson Sauvin Cryo hops: white grape, gooseberry and fresh 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 QuAF?
Quantock Brewery is an independent brewery and taproom in Bishops Lydeard, Somerset. Rob Rainey and Cheryl Ford set it up in Wellington in 2007, and it moved to Bishops Lydeard in 2015. QuAF is its only alcohol-free beer, though it isn’t in Quantock’s own online shop.
The shops describe QuAF as an easy-drinking pale ale with Nelson Sauvin Cryo hops, giving white grape, gooseberry and fresh citrus, and a crisp, clean finish. The Alcohol Free Co says it’s brewed on a light pale ale base with a specialist low-alcohol yeast; Quantock itself doesn’t say.
