award-winning
NON ALCOHOLIC BREWERY, LOCATED IN SWANSEA
G'day mate!
The Drop Bear Brewery is the UK’s largest non alcoholic brewery. We’re also proud to be the world’s first carbon neutral, alcohol-free brewery.
Joelle and Sarah launched Drop Bear in 2019. After brewing millions of cans of our award-winning non alcoholic beers in other people’s breweries, we opened our very own brewery in 2023.
Drop Bears are known to be feisty creatures with an attitude, but don’t worry. Here at Drop Beer Co. we’re a friendly bunch. Feel free to book a brewery tour or pop by to pick up some beers and say hello! There’s nothing like sharing a fresh pint of Drop Bear straight out of the brewhouse.
Brewery history
Purpose built as a brewery back in 2000, the brewery was acquired by brother and sister team, Connie and Phil Parry in 2002. They established the brewery as the home of an iconic real ale brewery for over 20 years. In 2023, the brewery was purchased by Joelle and Sarah Drummond, establishing the brewery as the UK’s largest non alcoholic brewery.
2023 signalled a new era for the brewery and an exciting new chapter for Drop Bear Beer Co. Pretty symbolic of our approach – honouring tradition whilst embracing innovation.
Carbon Neutral
In 2022 we worked closely with Climate Partner to conduct an in depth analysis of the carbon footprint of our beers and our business from day one of Drop Bear. After analysing our historical footprint, we offset all past emissions and created a strategy for carbon reduction for our future.
We can’t currently reduce all of our emissions at our non alcoholic brewery, but some of the carbon reduction measures we implement include:
- Heat pumps to warm our offices and taproom with energy generated during the brewing process.
- Solar Panels to provide green electricity supply.
- XXXXXXXXXXXX
Meet the team!
Founded by wife and wife team, Joelle and Sarah, Drop Bear is now a leading non alcoholic brewery.
As we continue to grow as a company and a team, we’re extremely proud to champion equality and promote diversity.
