Many companies are brewing alcohol-free and low-alcohol beers, and Big Drop Brewing Co sets itself apart as a producer of "only the finest 0.5% ABV beer." One of the newest limited varieties to come out of the brewery is its 'Sour,' which is described as light, refreshing and tart.
While many sour beer beverages are popular, this seasonal, limited-edition Sour demanded a unique brewing style in order to get the balance of flavors just right. As master brewer, Johnny Clayton describes: "It’s not a kettle sour or wild bacteria ferment." When it comes to enjoying the Sour beer, Big Drop Brewing Co recommends pairing it with a strong cheese or seafood with lemon.
Big Drop Brewing Co's range of low-ABV craft beer also includes Spiced Ale, Lager and an award-winning Stout and Pale Ale.
