What is Doom Bar 0.0?
Sharp’s was set up by Bill Sharp at Rock, on the north Cornish coast, in 1994, and Doom Bar became the UK’s best-selling cask ale, Sharp’s says; Molson Coors bought the brewery in 2011. In September 2026 Molson Coors confirmed that the Rock brewery will close in December, with Doom Bar’s cask beer due to move to Cameron’s, under terms agreed in principle, and its keg and bottled beers to Burton and Tadcaster.
Doom Bar 0.0 launched as Doom Bar Zero in August 2020, billed as the UK’s first widely available 0.0% amber ale. It isn’t brewed in Cornwall: the labels at Tesco and Sainsbury’s say Cameron’s in Hartlepool, and Morrisons’ says Burtonwood. The label describes a spicy, resinous hop aroma, dried fruit and lightly roasted malt, and lists sugar and oats among the ingredients. Sharp’s says it won silver at the World Beer Awards 2020; we haven’t checked that against the results.
The label gives 13 kcal and 1.1g of sugars per 100ml, about 65 kcal a bottle. We haven’t scored it yet.
