WEDS DOMAINE
England, UK

Thankfully, times are changing. Alcohol free options have exploded in recent years with alcohol free beers and spirits leading the way, showing us all that you can still have a lovely experience and mouthfuls of flavour without the alcohol or the fuzzy head the next day.
Well, now it’s the turn of wine. Whether you’re meeting a friend after work, settling onto the sofa after the kids have gone to bed or just looking for something different, Wednesday’s Domaine and our two alcohol free wines may well have the answer…

Wiper and True
Bristol, UK
Wiper & True fell in love with brewing at home - learning their craft on a kitchen stove with pots, pans and raw ingredients scattered all around them.
As they tinkered, trifled and tweaked recipes, they studied the ancient art of their vocation. Meanwhile, they were lucky enough to get first hand experience at some great breweries and more importantly, from some great brewers.
Whilst paying respect to the traditional craft of beer making, their inclination from those early days has always been to experiment and to play. Whether that’s roasting their own malts, adding wild ingredients such as blackberries and chillies, or ageing their beer on different kinds of wood, their aim is to create something truly special.

East Sussex, UK
360 Degree Brewing Company was born out of the fact that we are located right next to the Greenwich Meridian in East Sussex, which means we are at zero degrees longitude or 360 degrees longitude, if you look at things from another angle. This also suited our approach to ask drinkers what they want to drink and involving them in creating our beers.

Moor Beer
Bristol, UK
Moor Beer was reborn in 2007 when Californian Justin Hawke purchased the defunct business and created what has become one of the world’s top rated breweries. Named from the Levels and Moors area of Somerset where the brewery originated, Moor Beer moved to central Bristol behind Temple Meads Rail Station in 2014 where it now showcases a Tap Room, shop and tours.
Their inspiration comes from living around the world and working with different beer styles and techniques. They take the German, naturally hazy philosophy, combine it with the American flavour-forward approach to brewing and the British secondary refermentation tradition to create what they call Modern Real Ale.
Beer is about flavour, drinkability and enjoyment. Stemming from their California roots, Moor's beers are full flavoured, frequently hop-forward, but always balanced and drinkable. This comes from their use of British floor malted barley from one of the last remaining floor maltings in the UK, Tucker's Malthings of Devon, their use of select hops from around the world and a laser focus on quality at their in-house laboratory.

Pilot
Edinburgh, UK
Pilot was born when Matt Johnson and Patrick Jones met while studying for masters degrees in Brewing & Distilling at Heriot-Watt University in 2012, and it’s still just the two of them. A shared view that there was something different to be done in brewing – not traditional real ales, but not just another U.S. craft beer clone either – led to home-brewing together, which eventually led to buying a second-hand brewhouse and moving to the heart of cosmopolitan Leith, commencing brewing right at the end of 2013.
Soda Folk
Founder Ken Graham's home state of Colorado is famous for its skilled craft-brewers, so they teamed up with a little brewery high in the Rocky Mountains to help them produce Soda Folk.

Fyne Ales

At Fyne Ales they are all about producing an outstanding range of modern British beers, which they make in a spectacular location, and with integrity in everything they do. Their beers are built on the British Cask Ale tradition, Britain’s contribution to the global beer culture. This is a method that allows them to pack large amounts of flavour into relatively low alcohol beers. To this they have added a focus on new beer styles and big flavoured hops from the New World. This enables them to produce bold hop-forward beers that retain balance and subtlety.
Gun Brewery
West Sussex, UK
Brewing at Gun Hill on a beautiful 140 acre organic mixed farm in the Sussex Weald. The farm has a history of hop growing and some survive to this day in the hedgerows. It’s a lovely place to be and a lovely place to brew.
Gun spent a year refitting the barn, and installing all the equipment themselves, before selling their first pint in January 2015. In making their beer they aim to tread lightly on their surroundings. They generate much of their own power from a 15kw solar array; heating from a wood powered boiler and their spent grains keep the local livestock happy.
All the water used for brewing comes from their own spring source deep below the organically farmed land. The water is microfiltered and UV treated to ensure its purity without the need for chemicals. It’s delicious and great for brewing.

Hackney, London

Mydflower Elderflower Wine is as refreshing on a hot summer’s day as it is when the sun goes down.
