Sierra Nevada Trail Pass IPA

December 7th

You smell the mountains

All the way from the US! Sierra Nevada's Trail Pass IPA offers a refreshing experience with a hop explosion of citrus and pine from the Amarillo and CTZ hops. The silky malt body and clean hop bitterness are exactly what you would expect from a world-class IPA, but with less than 0.5% ABV.
The Trail Pass IPA captures the iconic citrus and pine flavors that a Sierra Nevada IPA also has. Let yourself be carried away by the hoppy scents and experience how the smooth maltiness envelops your taste buds. It's like walking through a hop forest.
James Conery, Innovation Brewmaster at Sierra Nevada, says: “It meets all our criteria for what we would call a craft IPA — not necessarily a craft non-alcoholic IPA, but just a craft IPA.” Trail Pass is brewed using traditional methods, without removing alcohol, so it remains full-bodied, with an ABV of less than 0.5%.

Did you know that Sierra Nevada Brewery founders Ken Grossman and Paul Camusi started the brewery in 1980 with an investment of just $50,000. And today, Sierra Nevada is one of the largest and most successful independent breweries in the United States.

Delirium -Delirio

December 5th

Very Special

Sinterklaas (a Dutch tradition that is today) brings us Delirio from Delirium, a beer that proves that even without alcohol the typical pink elephant retains its flair! This gem from the stables of Brouwerij Huyghe has an alcohol percentage of 0.3%
Imagine: a fresh breeze of malty scents with a hint of spice and a hint of fruit that tickles your nose. At the first sip you are greeted by a soft, round taste with a subtle spicy character and a hoppy, fruity aftertaste. It feels like your taste buds are having a little party. But we won't reveal anything else yet 🙂
Food pairing tip: This beer screams for light, fresh dishes. Think of a fresh salad with grilled chicken and a citrus dressing, or soft cheeses such as a creamy brie. Want a little adventure? Try it with spicy Asian snacks, such as Thai curry or Vietnamese spring rolls. The beer blows a cooling breeze over the heat of the herbs. A match made in food heaven!

Omnipollo - Zodiak

December 3rd

Which zodiac sign are you?

Zodiak Non-Alcoholic IPA from the Swedish brewery Omnipollo is an alcohol-free beer that retains the essence of a classic IPA. With only 0.3% alcohol and a low calorie content (30 kCal/100ml), it offers a full taste experience, thanks to a carefully balanced mix of hops and malt. The beer is inspired by the original Zodiak IPA and emphasizes fruity and hoppy aromas, without sacrificing drinkability. The name “Zodiac” refers to the zodiac, an astrological concept that represents 12 constellations and is often associated with personal characteristics and cosmic energies. This symbolism ties in with Omnipollo's creative, artistic approach to beer brewing.

Kingfisher Zero

December 2nd

All the way from India

Our first beer from India, so we had to include it in the Advent calendar. Wonderfully fresh pilsner that, how could it be otherwise, goes perfectly with a delicious Indian curry. On the label you can find an image of a Kingfisher. A common bird in India popular for its colorful plumage and fast hunting technique, diving into the water from the air to catch fish. The presence of the Kingfisher as a symbol on the Kingfisher beer label is therefore appropriate.

Belgian Balance - Barking White

December 1st

Belgian Balance Brewing Project & Barking White IPA

Belgian Balance is a brewing project born in Brussels, dedicated to redefining the beer experience through a focus on non-alcoholic (NA) beers. We believe that enjoying a great beer doesn’t always have to include alcohol, and our mission is to craft NA beers that are as flavorful, complex, and satisfying as their traditional counterparts. By combining Belgium’s deep brewing heritage with modern techniques, we create balanced brews that appeal to both beer enthusiasts and those seeking alcohol-free options.

 

Our Barking White IPA is a prime example of what Belgian Balance stands for. This alcohol-free beer marries the refreshing, zesty notes of a Belgian witbier with the bold, hoppy character of an IPA. The result is a crisp and vibrant beer featuring citrus aromas, a touch of spice, and a clean, slightly bitter finish. It’s a beer that proves NA doesn’t mean compromising on flavor or quality.
