What IMPOSSIBREW drinkers say
I love the lager
I love the lager, you would not know any difference from regular alcoholic lager, tastes amazing. Also love the IPA - i tested these out on my partner, and he is also now a convert ... so nice to relax and enjoy a cool beer - and no hangover.
Teresa, IMPOSSIBREW customerTried the mixed box first
Tried the mixed box first, really enjoyed the feeling of liking a low alcohol beer. Felt relaxed at the end of the evening and great in the morning. Tried the triple hop next, excellent flavour. Always serve Really cold, it does enhance the flavour.

We judged each drink against the best of its own type: beers on taste awards, Trustpilot rating, calories and price per 100ml; spirits and fizz on taste, sugar and price per bottle. Spirits are poured at about 50ml with a mixer, so their price per 100ml looks high next to beer. Facts come from each brand's page or the named supermarket listing.

Most craft alcohol-free beers are 0.5%, the standard in much of Europe, and the government has committed to consult on raising the "alcohol free" limit to 0.5%.
