The story behind Playground

In March 2017, Utrecht brothers Sander and Ronald van de Streek released the first alcohol-free IPA from a Dutch craft brewery — and did it the clever way: not by stripping alcohol out, but with a special yeast that barely creates any, plus body-building malts and generous American hops. Nothing removed, only added.

Playground went on to become one of the most decorated alcohol-free IPAs anywhere — Barcelona Beer Challenge silver among its haul — and it turned a crowdfunded brothers’ project into one of Europe’s AF craft benchmarks.

Serve cold but not frozen; the peach-citrus hops deserve headroom. It headlines our Dutch round-up, with the full brothers’ story on the vandeStreek hub.

Frequently asked questions

How many calories are in vandeStreek Playground IPA?
vandeStreek Playground IPA has 16 kcal per 100ml (about 53 kcal per 330ml), from the label figures we checked in October 2026. That puts it in the middle of the 20 alcohol-free IPAs with a published figure in our calorie comparison tool, which compares every beer per 100ml.
Is vandeStreek Playground IPA really alcohol-free at 0.5%?
vandeStreek Playground IPA is 0.5% ABV. UK government guidance (which is voluntary) reserves 'alcohol-free' for 0.05% or below, so technically that's low alcohol, or de-alcoholised if the alcohol was removed after brewing — though 0.5% is comparable to the trace alcohol found naturally in ripe fruit or fresh orange juice. We explain the difference in our 0.0% vs 0.5% guide.
Where can I buy vandeStreek Playground IPA in the UK?
vandeStreek Playground IPA is listed at Dry Drinker, a UK alcohol-free specialist, but was sold out when we checked in October 2026; the button on this page goes to that listing (an affiliate link). Specialist retailers carry a far wider AF range than supermarkets and ship nationwide.
