Wiper And True Alcohol-Free Beers
We have reviewed all 2 alcohol-free beers from Wiper And True. Ratings come as the community tries them in the app.
Wiper and True is one of Bristol's most respected independent breweries — an award-winning, sustainability-led operation whose alcohol-free lager Tomorrow has become one of its fastest-growing beers.
Who are Wiper and True?
The Wiper and True story began with an apple tree. Founders Michael Wiper and Al True originally intended to make cider, and while waiting for their orchard to mature they tried homebrewing. Encouraged by the results, they founded the brewery in Bristol in 2012, brewing nomadically at first before opening their own site in St Werburgh's three years later, and later a larger home in Old Market.
The brewery's philosophy is summed up in two words it uses constantly: ‘Beautiful Beer’. Its bestseller is Kaleidoscope, a 4.2% pale ale, but its second best-selling beer is now Tomorrow, an alcohol-free lager — a remarkable rise for a beer that only launched in January 2024.
What makes Wiper and True different?
Technical, refined brewing
Wiper and True is a generalist's brewery, brewing everything from pale ales and lagers to barrel-aged and mixed-fermentation beers, all with a reputation for technical precision and balance. That same care shows up in the alcohol-free range.
Serious sustainability
The brewery captures the carbon dioxide produced during fermentation, cleans it and reuses it elsewhere in brewing and packaging, creating a closed loop. It runs on solar power, is a real living wage employer, and has been named a Sustainability Champion at the Brewers Choice awards.
Award-winning across the board
Wiper and True has won at the Great Taste Awards and the World Alcohol-Free Awards, and has been crowned Brewery of the Year at the Brewers Choice awards — recognition across both its full-strength and alcohol-free beers.
The Wiper and True alcohol-free range
We list two Wiper and True alcohol-free beers: Tomorrow Lager, the crisp, clean lager that became the brewery's fastest-growing product, and Milk Shake Stout, an alcohol-free take on its much-loved chocolate-and-vanilla milk stout. Two very different beers, both done with the brewery's usual polish.
Is Wiper and True worth trying?
Yes — Wiper and True is one of the UK's most accomplished independent craft breweries, and the fact that its alcohol-free lager has become its second best-seller tells you how seriously it takes the format. Tomorrow is an easy, high-quality everyday lager; the Milk Shake Stout is a treat. The sustainability credentials are a meaningful bonus.

Wiper and True: Bristol's pursuit of Beautiful Beer
Wiper and True's story began with an apple tree. Co-founders Michael Wiper and Al True originally wanted to make cider — they even planted their own orchard. While waiting for the trees to mature, they started experimenting with home brewing instead, and the results were good enough that friends and family encouraged them to keep going. The brand name combines the founders' surnames, and the brewery's ethos crystallised around a single phrase: 'Beautiful Beer'. According to the brewery's own retelling, the phrase was coined by a family friend tasting one of Michael's homebrewed Australian-hopped IPAs in the garden — "cor, that's a beautiful beer".
From homebrewing to a Bristol craft success
Wiper and True started commercially as a nomadic project, brewing at other breweries while honing their recipes and their understanding of what 'Beautiful Beer' actually meant. Demand from Bristol pubs and drinkers grew quickly, and they moved into their first own brewery in St Werburghs, Bristol — a tight industrial space that taught them how to dial in recipes around the limits of second-hand kit. They've since moved to a much larger facility in Old Market, Bristol, where they operate a custom-engineered, German-designed brew kit alongside refrigerated warehousing and a closed-loop CO2 capture system. Today the company employs over fifty people and remains independently owned.
What Wiper and True is known for
The brewery's full-strength flagship beers include Kaleidoscope (their pale ale), Tomorrow (a German-style lager), and a constantly rotating range of seasonals and collaborations. Wiper and True is consistently cited among the strongest UK craft breweries, with a reputation built on technical precision and creative ambition combined.
Wiper and True's alcohol-free range
Wiper and True now produces a properly substantial alcohol-free range, all dealcoholised from full-strength brews using what the brewery describes as 'market-leading technology'. The permanent line-up includes alcohol-free Kaleidoscope (0.5% pale ale, multi-award-winning, brewed with Citra, Simcoe and Mosaic hops), Tomorrow (0.5% German-style lager and Bronze Medal winner at the 2024 and 2026 World Alcohol-Free Awards), and Tidebreaker (a 0.5% West Coast ale with a rye and Caramalt base). They've also released collaboration AF beers with Track Brewing, Five Points, and Elusive Brewing.
Where to find Wiper and True alcohol-free
Available direct from the Wiper and True online shop and through their two Bristol taprooms (The Taproom in Old Market, The Barrel Store in St Werburghs), as well as through specialist alcohol-free retailers including Dry Drinker. Their alcohol-free range can also be ordered as a 12-pack directly from the brewery — a properly committed AF offering rather than a single token release.
Who Wiper and True alcohol-free is for
Best for: craft drinkers who refuse to compromise on flavour for alcohol-free; anyone exploring genuinely award-winning AF craft beer; fans of the full-strength range wanting alcohol-free alternatives. The 12-pack is also a strong gift recommendation for anyone moving toward moderation or alcohol-free.
