UK's Winner: IMPOSSIBREW ®
IMPOSSIBREW® has been recognised as the UK's Best Tasting Alcohol-Free Beer by the prestigious World Beer Awards, thanks to its innovative blend of science-backed ingredients that replicate the sensory and social experience of traditional beer. This accolade highlights IMPOSSIBREW®'s commitment to delivering a high-quality, enjoyable alternative to alcoholic beverages, offering a healthier option without compromising on taste.
The Science Behind Social Blend™
Social Blend™ by IMPOSSIBREW® is a proprietary nootropic alcohol alternative designed to enhance mood, promote relaxation, and relieve stress without the negative effects of alcohol. Developed with leading scientists, including Dr. Paul Chazot from Durham University, Social Blend™ combines natural ingredients such as L-Theanine, Ashwagandha Root, and Vitamin B1. These components work synergistically to optimise serotonin levels, boost alpha brain waves, and support dopaminergic receptors, resulting in a calm mental state without drowsiness or hangovers.
Customer Testimonials and Reviews
IMPOSSIBREW® has garnered positive feedback from customers who appreciate its taste and relaxing effects. Many reviewers highlight the beer's ability to provide a satisfying alternative to traditional alcoholic beverages, with some noting its effectiveness in promoting relaxation without the downsides of alcohol, such as hangovers. Customers have praised both the Pale Ale and Lager for their rich flavour profiles and the unique "buzz" they offer, attributing these benefits to the high-quality nootropic ingredients used in the brewing process. Despite being slightly pricier than other non-alcoholic options, many find the value justifiable given the premium experience and health benefits.
Comparing IMPOSSIBREW® to Traditional Beers
IMPOSSIBREW® offers a compelling alternative to traditional beers by providing a similar sensory and social experience without the negative effects of alcohol. Unlike conventional beers, which can lead to hangovers and other health issues, IMPOSSIBREW® uses a proprietary blend of nootropic ingredients, such as L-Theanine and Ashwagandha Root, to promote relaxation and mood enhancement without drowsiness or cognitive impairment. Customers have noted that the taste of IMPOSSIBREW®'s Pale Ale and Lager rivals that of alcoholic beers, with some even preferring it due to its low calorie and low carb content. Additionally, the absence of alcohol tax and the use of high-quality ingredients contribute to its premium pricing, which many consumers find justified given the health benefits and unique experience it offers
Best All-Round Alcohol-Free Option
IMPOSSIBREW® stands out as the best overall option for those looking to reduce alcohol consumption due to its unique Social Blend™, which promotes relaxation without the need for alcohol. With only 27 calories per 440ml can (6 calories per 100ml) and less than 0.1g of sugar per 100ml, it is one of the lowest-calorie alcohol-free beers available. Additionally, it is 100% vegan and has been awarded the UK's Best Tasting Alcohol-Free Beer by the World Beer Awards. IMPOSSIBREW® contains less alcohol than common foods like ripe bananas (0.5% ABV), burger rolls (1.2%), or orange juice (up to 1%), making it a safe and appealing choice. The lager variant is also gluten-free, catering to those with dietary restrictions.

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.
