Alcohol-Free Hoppy Ale, 0.5%
Nanny State is a 0.5% ABV alcohol-free pale ale brewed by BrewDog, a Scottish brewery. It was first brewed in 2012 as part of BrewDog’s “Craft vs. Lager” campaign, which aimed to challenge the perception that low-alcohol beer is boring and tasteless. Nanny State was a critical and commercial success, and it helped to pave the way for the growing popularity of alcohol-free beer.
Nanny State is brewed with a blend of malts and hops that give it a refreshing, citrusy flavour. It has a light body and moderate bitterness, and it finishes dry and crisp. The beer is unfiltered, which gives it a hazy appearance.
Nanny State is a great choice for people who are looking for a refreshing and flavorful beer without alcohol. It is also a good option for people who are driving, pregnant, or trying to cut back on their alcohol consumption.
