No Brainer
An alcohol-free IPA at 0.5 % ABV, brewed from water, barley malt and hops. Citrus and sweetness lead the flavour of this beer, which the brewery wants to taste like a proper IPA. It is the latest addition to the Brains low and no alcohol range and comes in can and on keg. The Cardiff brewery has been brewing since 1882.
