SUBZERO POINT FIVE
BLOG

Since we started our shop, we have entered the world of drinking less or no alcohol at all. That is actually how ONP5 came into being. I love good specialty and craft beer and went without alcohol for about two months every year. During those periods, I started delving into alcohol-free beer. And that eventually led to what ONP5 is today. In the more than six years that we have had the shop, we are regularly ping-ponged back and forth between two groups. On one side are the p

At the end of September, it’s that time again: out with the lederhosen, on with the dirndl, and off to Munich with a few million others. Oktoberfest isn't exactly known as the most alcohol-free event in the world. Nevertheless, nowadays you can attend perfectly well without drinking alcohol. In fact, in all party tents where beer is served, you can now also order an alcohol-free beer. Even at Augustiner, the last major German brewers without alcohol-free beer in their range,

A few weeks ago, we received an email from Alex Wieland asking if we'd like to include his beer in our selection. And it turns out it's no ordinary beer. You can read more about it below. I need to begin this story with some background information about the foundation Alex belongs to: Historische Gewassen Natuur(lijk) Zeeuws (Historical Grains of Nature Zeeuws).

We begin this blog with a statement, and you can share your opinion on it. We will give some arguments why this statement might be true, but also why this comparison is not helpful.

Bier met en zonder alcohol smaakt het best uit een schoon glas. In dit artikel lees je tips hoe je bierglazen écht goed schoon krijgt.

It's time to write down my own story. I'm regularly asked if I still drink alcohol. Since January 1, 2025, I haven't. And I'm very happy about it. Do I not have a problem with that? Of course I do. That's precisely why I'm writing this. This blog has two goals. Firstly, sharing my story helps me better cope with moments when I have a craving for a beer or something else. Secondly, I want to help others in a similar situation. I'll start with the title. There are roughly three

We have an update regarding the NVWA (Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority) fine we wrote about earlier. Last year, we received a fine of €1,565 because we had given too much of a discount on a beer with 0.8% alcohol . According to the rules, anything above 0.5% alcohol falls under alcohol legislation, and restrictions apply to discount promotions. You can read the whole story in our previous blog . In objection Naturally, we lodged an objection against the fin

When it comes to our motto, we like to compare ourselves to other companies. We're similar to Jamin in terms of product range, Hornbach in terms of pricing, and Coolblue in terms of customer service. All these companies have something we want to emulate. And when you combine all these things, you get our motto: Alcohol-free beer. Seriously good. I'd be happy to tell you how we got there. Our motto and values When it comes to our product range, we're very aware of our positio

Mindful Drinking betekent bewust omgaan met je alcoholconsumptie . Je drinkt misschien een biertje omdat het gebruikelijk is of omdat je het interessant vindt. Mindful Drinking betekent niet automatisch meedoen of zonder nadenken inschenken, maar bewust beslissen wanneer en wat je drinkt. Soms is dat een biertje met alcohol, soms niet. We zien het laatste steeds vaker. Voor veel van onze klanten gaat het niet om "nooit meer alcohol drinken". Het draait om controle . Zij besli
