Alefarm Alcohol-Free Beers
We have reviewed all 2 alcohol-free beers from Alefarm. Ratings come as the community tries them in the app.
Alefarm Brewing is a modern Danish craft brewery near Copenhagen — a tech-driven, hop-forward operation whose alcohol-free IPAs bring its hazy, juicy house style into the no-alcohol space.
Who are Alefarm Brewing?
Alefarm was founded in 2015 by Kasper Tidemann, a former software developer who had fallen for craft beer while living in San Francisco. The brewery takes its name from its origins: for the first couple of years the beers were brewed on an actual farm near Køge, south of Copenhagen, focused on farmhouse ales and barrel-fermented wild ales.
In 2018 Alefarm moved to its current home in Greve, closer to Copenhagen, and opened a custom-built taproom the following year. The brewery is run day to day by Tidemann and his wife, Britt van Slyck, and in 2020 it listed on Nasdaq's First North Growth Market in Denmark — an unusual step for a small craft brewery, and a sign of its ambition.
What makes Alefarm different?
Hazy, hop-forward house style
Alefarm has become known for modern hop-forward styles — hazy IPAs, NEIPAs and double IPAs, with soft, juicy, fruit-driven character. That's exactly the style it brings to its alcohol-free beer, which is harder to pull off without alcohol than a simple lager.
Tech-driven and modern
Founded by a software developer, Alefarm blends traditional brewing methods with modern technology and a precise, iterative approach. It runs an active beer club, releases new batches frequently, and exports across Europe.
A creative, exploratory programme
Alongside its clean hop-forward beers, Alefarm runs a creative sour and mixed-fermentation programme using a well-established house culture. It's a brewery that treats beer as a space to explore rather than a fixed formula.
The Alefarm alcohol-free range
We list two alcohol-free Alefarm IPAs: On Dry Land IPA and Paraglow DDH IPA — the latter double dry-hopped for extra aroma. Both carry Alefarm's hazy, juicy house character into the alcohol-free format, which is where the brewery's hop expertise really earns its keep.
Is Alefarm worth trying?
For fans of hazy, hop-forward craft beer, Alefarm is a rewarding name to explore in the alcohol-free space. A brewery this focused on juicy IPA is well placed to make alcohol-free versions that actually deliver on aroma and flavour. The double dry-hopped Paraglow is the one to seek out if you want maximum hop character.

Alefarm Brewing: Danish craft, alcohol-free range
Alefarm Brewing is a Danish microbrewery based in Greve, a small city just outside Copenhagen. Founded around the values of authenticity, passion and perseverance, Alefarm is primarily a full-strength craft brewery known for clean beer, barrel-aged offerings, and mixed-fermentation styles. The brewery occupies a recognised place in the Scandinavian craft scene, with a custom-built taproom that doubles as both production space and a public-facing showcase for the range.
What earns Alefarm a place in the Unhopped catalogue is the small but genuinely well-made alcohol-free range it has developed alongside its full-strength work. The brewery's AF releases reflect the same brewing philosophy that runs through the rest of its lineup: contemporary, handcrafted, and built around flavour-first decision-making rather than category convention.
How Alefarm brews
Alefarm describes itself as 'on a journey to explore craft beer' — and the production approach reflects that broader mission. The brewery's output spans clean-fermented modern styles, barrel-aged programmes, and mixed-fermentation work that draws on Belgian and farmhouse traditions. The team is small and ambitious, drawn together from different backgrounds in a collective attempt to push what Scandinavian craft brewing can be. For the alcohol-free range specifically, the same craft sensibility translates into beers that focus on hop expression and modern IPA character, rather than the safer mainstream styles that dominate the wider AF category.
The alcohol-free range
Alefarm's alcohol-free output on Unhopped centres on two beers, both at 0.5% ABV. Paraglow DDH IPA is a double-dry-hopped IPA — the 'DDH' designation signals a heavier-than-standard dry-hop addition, designed to maximise hop aroma and flavour. It's an unusual technical choice for an alcohol-free beer, given that DDH IPAs are typically associated with full-strength craft brewing and depend on alcohol's solvent properties to carry hop oils. On Dry Land IPA is a hazy IPA at 0.5% — Alefarm's contribution to the modern hazy NEIPA category that has become the dominant style in craft brewing.
Why Alefarm matters
Alefarm represents an important kind of brewery in the Unhopped catalogue: a primarily full-strength craft producer that has chosen to develop a small, properly-considered AF range alongside its main work. Brewers like Alefarm don't need to make alcohol-free beer at all — they make excellent full-strength craft. The fact that they've chosen to engage with the AF format, and to do so by tackling the harder modern IPA styles rather than the safer ones, is part of the broader story of how the alcohol-free category is being legitimised by the wider craft beer world.
