We Can Be Friends Cloudy Krush
By We Can Be Friends · UK
A 0.5% lemon sour from We Can Be Friends, made with Vault City of Edinburgh: a mixed-fermentation sour conditioned on Sicilian lemons, lemon zest and orange juice, then dry-hopped, the shops say. In 440ml cans.
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 Cloudy Krush?
We Can Be Friends is an independent alcohol-free brand from south-east London: Sam Ray set up the company in September 2023, owns most of it, and sold its first beer that December. It has no brewery of its own; it brews with partner breweries, and its stated aim is “to make the best alcohol free beer in the world”. Its partners have included Track, Overtone and Vault City, and it made a pilsner, Ghost In The Machine, with Mash Gang.
Cloudy Krush is the one it made with Vault City, the Edinburgh sour specialist. The Alcohol Free Co describes a mixed-fermentation sour base conditioned on Sicilian lemons, lemon zest and fresh orange juice, with a dry hop of Krush and Azacca hops for tropical and stone fruit, and “a juicy edge that balances the tartness”.
It comes in 440ml cans, at 0.5%, according to Dry Drinker and The Alcohol Free Co. Nobody publishes a full ingredients list, calories or a vegan or gluten-free claim. Dry Drinker had cases in stock on 28 October 2026, and The Alcohol Free Co single cans. We haven’t scored it yet.
