Baron x We Can Be Friends Day Off V2
By We Can Be Friends · UK
A 0.5% IPA that We Can Be Friends made with Baron Brewing of Hertfordshire, the second in their Day Off series: Citra and Motueka at IPA rates for citrus, lime and fresh hop character, 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 Day Off V2?
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.
Day Off is a series We Can Be Friends brews with Jack Baron of Baron Brewing, in Great Hormead, Hertfordshire. The Alcohol Free Co describes V2 as clean, hoppy and refreshing, with Citra and Motueka “used at IPA rates, bringing bright citrus, lime and fresh hop character”, and a lingering citrus finish. The brewer’s own shop has moved on to V3, hopped with Superdelic and Citra.
The Alcohol Free Co lists it as a 500ml can, at 0.5%; we found no other source for the can size. Nobody publishes calories, an ingredients list, or a vegan or gluten-free claim. We haven’t scored it yet.
