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 from their tiny one bedroom apartment in Mumbles. Having brewed millions of cans of our award-winning non alcoholic beers in other people’s breweries, we opened our very own brewery in 2023… and it’s a big ‘un!
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 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 site was established as an iconic real ale brewery for over two decades.Â
In 2023, Joelle and Sarah Drummond acquired the site with the vision of creating 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:
- Electric powered brewplant
- Structural innovation for energy use reduction
Meet the team!
Founded by wife and wife team, Joelle and Sarah, Drop Bear is now a leading non-alcoholic brewery.
Our dedicated team have a passion for beer, no matter the ABV, and work tirelessly to perfect each can.
