FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ENHANCED BEER
This section covers our range of Mood Enhancing Alcohol-Free Beers.
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).
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.
Absolutely not. Since hangovers are caused by alcohol consumption - with a 0.5% alcohol content (less than a ripe banana), you will not experience a hangover.
Instead, enhanced with our active ingredients - you'll be able to enjoy an evening of pleasure without any headaches or regrets the next day.
It refers to beers that are enhanced with various naturally active ingredients for a mood-enhancing effect.

DISCOVER THE IMPOSSIBREW.
This section covers the essential information of IMPOSSIBREW Co., what we're about and what we're trying to do.
At IMPOSSIBREW Co., we defined by our mentality to take on the impossible.
We're a challenger team of plant scientists, expert brewers and beer-drinkers who got fed up with hangovers and decided to not settle for the status quo.
By curating active ingredients from nature, combined with modern science, we strive to offer new ways to relax and unwind - without needing alcohol.
IMPOSSIBREW Co. has become a popular name among our community - though we didn't actually start off this way.
We used to be called: The Impossible Brewing Company - defined by our mentality to make the impossible, possible.
Most people found it difficult and clunky to pronounce, so we ended up adopting the shortened version - IMPOSSIBREW Co.
Though we are a global team, our headquarters is in the United Kingdom. All our beers are expertly brewed and crafted locally for maximum freshness and quality.
IMPOSSIBREW Co. was founded by Mark Wong in 2021 during the pandemic - after graduating as a Philosopher from Durham University.
Mark left home in Hong Kong and went to the UK alone with his brother at the age of 13 and has developed an academic passion for alcohol alongside his studies. He is a WSET Level 3 graduate and one of the highest-scoring French Wine Scholars in the world.
Dr Paul Chazot, FBPhS, a world-leading biosciences Professor at Durham University, brings decades of experience and expertise to the IMPOSSIBREW team. He is a fellow of the esteemed Wolfson Research Institute for Health and Wellbeing, associate editor for Frontiers in Ethnopharmacology, and has authored over 60 major research publications.
Along with our ever-growing amazing team members, we're set to deliver the best mood enhancing alcohol-free experience.
Drop us an email at hello@impossibrew.co.uk and our team will get back to you within 24 hours.
ACTIVE HERBS & INGREDIENTS
This section covers active herbs and ingredients used, including our Social Blend™
'Active Herbs' refer to naturally active ingredients that deliver experiences for your body and mind.
They include ingredients that are botanical, nootropic and adaptogenic.
Adaptogens are naturally active herbs and botanicals that has had a profound effect on humanity for thousands of years. They have been relaxing and soothing the minds of our ancestors and were commonly used to relieve the stresses of life.
Our brewing process is inspired by how our ancestors used to brew beer.
Before Hops became popular, all beer used to be brewed with different herbs and botanicals (Gruit Ale) for its therapeutic effects and often, enhanced potency.
Handling the flavour complexities of different herbs and botanicals for a balanced palate is highly challenging - and it was no different in the past.
With more than two years of experimentation, we expertly combine traditional brewing practices with cutting-edge science to craft a beer like no other.
A continuously selective curation and extraction process of natural herbs and active ingredients will take us one step closer to finding the ultimate IMPOSSIBREW.
None of our drinks contain CBD or THC.
Our herbs and active ingredients are sourced from only the most reputable vendors in the industry. They come from our certified partner farms and suppliers from across the world with the highest quality control standards.
Yes; for both our bottles and cans. Aluminum and glass are several of the most recyclable material in the world, and all our cardboard packaging come from sustainable sources.
There's nothing in IMPOSSIBREW that makes it illegal for you to drive.
We believe you're the best judge for whether you can drive. Just like if you've had a lot of coffee - you can legally drive, but you probably should wait a bit. If you don't feel like you can drive, we recommend waiting 30-40 minutes or longer depending on how you feel. Drive safe.
Or legal speak: "May cause drowsiness, so do not consume when driving or operating heavy equipment."
