Below Brew Co Alcohol-Free Beers

Below Brew Co — formerly Lowtide Brewing Co — is a UK alcohol-free craft brewery with one of the most adventurous, hop-forward ranges in the category and a sense of crafty defiance to match.

Who are Below Brew Co?

Below Brew Co began life in the summer of 2019, when two beer enthusiasts, Rob and Dave, set out to find genuinely good alcohol-free craft beer. They started with an alcohol-free bottle shop called Crafty AF, but felt the market was being short-changed — there wasn't a brewery making truly craft alcohol-free beer across the styles they wanted to drink. So they launched their own.

Originally trading as Lowtide Brewing Co, the brewery later rebranded to Below Brew Co. The rebrand reflected a deeper vision, but the mission stayed the same: push boundaries and brew better, below 0.5% ABV. The beers are wrapped in bold, characterful can artwork that stands out sharply from the safe design language of most alcohol-free brands.

What makes Below Brew Co different?

Genuinely hop-forward

Where many alcohol-free breweries default to lager or a single safe pale ale, Below Brew Co's range is unusually broad and hoppy — hazy IPAs, NEIPAs, West Coast IPAs, stouts and pilsners. The Cosmic Turtle NEIPA, for example, is loaded with Citra, Mosaic, Amarillo and El Dorado hops for a juicy, tropical hop bomb that holds up against full-strength equivalents.

Craft-first, not lifestyle-first

Below Brew Co competes on the beer, not on wellness messaging. The branding is playful and irreverent, and the focus is squarely on flavour — beers that are anything but watered down, built for drinkers who care about hops and body.

Constantly evolving line-up

Rather than a fixed core range, Below Brew Co runs an evolving line-up that keeps rotating in new styles. That keeps the catalogue fresh and gives the brewery room to experiment in a way larger producers can't.

The Below Brew Co range

We list seven Below Brew Co beers, spanning the hop spectrum: Cosmic Turtle NEIPA, All Hopped Up IPA, West Coast Hop Lock IPA, Ohana IPA, Forgot To Take My Pils, the Check This Stout, and Brune DMC. Few alcohol-free breweries offer this much hop-forward variety.

Is Below Brew Co worth trying?

If you're a hop lover who has been disappointed by timid alcohol-free beer, Below Brew Co is one of the most rewarding UK names to explore. The range is bold, the artwork is fun, and the brewing genuinely chases craft-beer flavour rather than settling for inoffensive. Start with the Cosmic Turtle NEIPA if you want to understand what they're about.
