Small Beer Brew: Pioneer brewers challenging water waste
EMBRACING INNOVATION IN BREWING, THE FIRST BREWERY DEDICATED TO THE PRODUCTION OF LOWER ALCOHOL BEER
WORDS FROM SMALL BEER BREW
FOR THE BIG THINKERS
We are reinvigorating a lost tradition for the people who do it all. Those who THINK BIG for their tomorrow, who seek quality of ingredients & conversation, who challenge the existing and embrace innovation. For us, big thinking means pioneering a new process of brewing. We have built a bespoke brewing kit dedicated to the production of lower alcohol beer up to 2.8% ABV – the world's first dedicated small beer brewery!
We make our beer with only the finest ingredients and natural carbonation. Our beers also spend a minimum of 6 weeks lagering in vessel to give them their undeniably clean yet pronounced flavour profiles.
Our brewing kit allows us to brew our beer to strength, so that we don't need to remove the alcohol in any way. Instead we take the time and care to maximise flavour over alcohol creation.
You won’t see any vacuum distilling, reverse osmosis, filtration, processing, added stabilisers, arrested fermentation, clarifiers, isinglass, in our process.
Just water, malted barley, hops, oats & yeast!
OUR AIM: NEVER TO WASTE A DROP!
From the start, we’ve drastically cut the water needed to brew our beer. Where industry standards typically required 8-10 pints of water for every pint of beer brewed, we designed a brewing kit that required just 1 ½ pints of water to brew one pint of Small Beer. Since embarking on our first commercial brew in 2017, we’ve saved 1.4m L of water, inspiring positive change across the industry.
We recently accepted the Water Management Award for Beer from The Drinks Business Green Awards!
