Nootropic Drinks Explained
Nootropic drinks are beverages infused with natural ingredients designed to support brain activity and emotional well-being. These drinks work by interacting with the brain's neurotransmitter systems.
How Nootropics Work
The active ingredients in nootropic drinks help promote emotional balance through several key processes:
- Balancing Neurotransmitters: They help regulate important brain chemicals like serotonin and GABA, which are crucial for mood control.
- Managing Stress Hormones: Certain ingredients help moderate cortisol levels, assisting the body in staying calm during stressful moments.
- Protecting Neural Health: These compounds contribute to cognitive health by supporting the brain's natural defences.
IMPOSSIBREW®'s Social Blend™ technology is a great example of how specific ingredients can be combined to encourage relaxation while maintaining mental clarity. This approach promotes both immediate calm and longer-term emotional stability.
What Happens to Your Brain?
Nootropic drinks can have both immediate and lasting effects.
Short-term effects include:
- Quick absorption into the brain to promote calmness.
- Stress management through adaptogens that help the body respond to pressure.
Long-term benefits may include:
- Improved neurotransmitter balance with regular use.
- Better stress resilience over time.
- A more stable and consistent mood.
IMPOSSIBREW®'s Enhanced Lager combines botanical extracts to naturally support the brain's stress-management systems, offering a relaxing yet enjoyable drinking experience. This blend highlights the science behind nootropic drinks, which we’ll explore further through IMPOSSIBREW®'s unique approach.
Key Ingredients That Support Emotional Balance
Certain natural ingredients in nootropic drinks work together to help balance mood and ease stress.
Ashwagandha for Stress Relief
Ashwagandha is known for its ability to regulate cortisol levels, helping to manage stress. IMPOSSIBREW®’s Social Blend™ includes the premium KSM-66® Ashwagandha, carefully chosen for its effectiveness.
Here’s what it offers:
- Helps regulate cortisol levels
- Reduces anxiety without causing drowsiness
- Promotes natural relaxation and rest
IMPOSSIBREW®'s Enhanced Lager provides a carefully measured amount of Ashwagandha, offering stress relief while keeping your mind sharp. This makes it a key ingredient in their approach to supporting emotional balance.
Rhodiola Rosea for Mood Support
Rhodiola Rosea plays a role in improving serotonin and norepinephrine levels, aiding mood regulation.
Its benefits include:
- Supports neurotransmitters linked to mood
- Helps maintain focus while relaxing
- Enhances resilience to stress
In IMPOSSIBREW®'s Enhanced Pale Ale and Enhanced Lager, Rhodiola Rosea is paired with other botanicals to deliver effective mood support.
Together, these ingredients create a science-backed approach to promoting emotional balance in their nootropic drinks.

How is 0.5% ABV alcohol-free?
Yes, we know it's confusing. Isn't 0.5% ABV still alcoholic? Officially, 0.5% ABV is classified as Dealcoholised.
- In fact, most things we consume daily have more than 0.5% ABV
- Burger Rolls - 1.2% ABV
- Orange Juice - 0.5% ABV
- Ripe Banana - 0.5% ABV
After more than 2 years of research, we've found that the 0.5% ABV from our natural brewing process significantly increases both flavour and mouthfeel - without spiking your blood alcohol level (BAC).
Is it really gluten-free?
Yes, IMPOSSIBREW® Enhanced Lager is gluten-free. Even though it contains wheat and barley, our beers have been third-party tested to contain less than 10 parts per million (PPM) of gluten, which meets the criteria to be listed as, and labeled gluten-free.
Does it have alcohol tax?
No. While it is true that our beers don't contain alcohol, and thus don't incur UK alcohol duty, we'd like to highlight some factors here that might be helpful in reflecting the value we provide.
- One-to-One Brewing Process: At IMPOSSIBREW, we take pride in our unique brewing techniques. Unlike other non-alcoholic beers, our products are never diluted, watered-down, or have their alcohol content removed - and some even dilute their alcoholic beers up to 5x. This means that our brewing process involves the same level of craftsmanship, time, and resources as a traditional craft beer, resulting in comparable production costs.
- Effective Nootropics: In our commitment to creating the most relaxing non-alcoholic beers, we utilise only the highest quality nootropics as our active ingredients, in safe and effectives dosages. At current alcohol tax rates for a 5% ABV beer, the cost of our nootropics more than double that. Instead of contributing the amounts as tax, why not have it contribute to the product quality itself?
- Small Scale Brewing: Currently, we operate on a smaller scale, which makes us less competitive than large, commercial brewers (often +10,000x our brewing size). As a growing business, we are passionate about our mission to create unique, high-quality non-alcoholic experiences, and we truly appreciate your support. As we continue to grow and expand our production capabilities, we look forward to passing on even more savings to our valued community!
At IMPOSSIBREW, we prioritise offering our customers an enhanced, premium, non-alcoholic beer experience by combining innovative brewing techniques, quality active nootropic ingredients, and award-winning taste. While our pricing may differ from other non-alcoholic competitors, we believe that the value proposition and unique experience our beers provide are well worth it.
At the end of the day, tasting is believing. So give it a try and let us know what you think - risk-free with our IMPOSSIBREW® Guarantee.
Who shouldn't drink IMPOSSIBREW®?
It is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with certain medical conditions like GI disorders or hypertension, or individuals taking specific medications such as antidepressants or blood thinners. If you fall into any of these categories, it's best to consult with your doctor first.
Ashwagandha can lead to overstimulation (i.e. restlessness) if taken alongside thyroid medication.
What is your philosophy?
For thousands of years, we had only one way to unwind together. One way to let our guards down. One way to bridge the gap between who we are and who we are with others.
Not because it was perfect. But because it was all we had.
We decided that wasn't good enough.
We exist because we believe in a world where social connection doesn't demand compromise.
Where being present with others doesn't mean being absent from yourself. Where letting go doesn't mean losing control.This isn't about removing alcohol. This is about something better.
Our Social Blend™ technology isn't an accident. It's the result of questioning everything we thought we knew about social drinking. About working with scientists to understand what we're really seeking in these moments of connection. About daring to imagine something that wasn't possible before.
We believe the greatest innovations don't just solve problems - they change how we live. They make us question why we ever settled for less.
That's what we're building. Not just a drink, but a new way forward. A future where social connection comes without compromise. Where tradition meets innovation. Where science meets ritual.
This is the future of social drinking.
