Alcohol Free Beer Explorers

  Well this box was made for me to try how could the Alcohol beer Explorer resist a box called The Big Explorer box.  This box is from Big Drop and sold exclusively through Waitrose stores & Waitrose Online , it sells for the bargain price of £12.  The pack contains 8 beers from the big drop range each a different style giving you a chance to try various styles of alcohol free beer from the big drop range. Not all the beers in here will be for everyone and not all the beers in the box are the best examples of the style they represent but for me this box is a great starting point for anyone wanting to try a variety of alcohol free beers.  Working out at £1.50 a beer it is also at a great price point.  Hopefully this box or similar will be made available across other supermarkets too.   All the Beers except for Coba Maya which at time of writing is exclusive to the bog  are available direct from Big Drop    or from all good online alcohol free retailers.  A link to the product pages

What is SoberSauce SoberSauce is an  online alcohol free beer retailer.  Set up by Adam Uttley, Adam set up sober sauce as he was having difficulty finding good alcohol free beers in the shops.  He set up sobersauce to help people who like him wanted to try good quality alcohol free beers but were having difficulty finding them.  Adam has now tried over 200 alcohol free beers and has a very good knowledge of what is out there.   This is where the Latest Beers box comes in.   The Discovery Box In the Discovery box Adam personally select 8 alcohol free beers a month to send to the members.  Most these beers will be new to the market so likely be ones you haven't tried elsewhere. There will be a variety of different styles that gives the end customer a good selection to find out what ones they like.   You can also add extra beers to be delivered with your box which saves on extra postage and packaging. The box costs £19.99 + P&P and is available direct from the sobersauce website.

  I’ve treated myself to a discovery mixed case from CoastBeer Co. I was lucky enough to pick this up when they were running 25% off, but if you’ve missed out on that they currently [at the time of writing] have 15% off on their website if you use the code ‘15OFF’ – and if you miss that too you can sign up to their ‘community’ and you’ll get 15% off your first order.   A little bit about Coast Beer Co. Coast Beer Co. started in 2019. Like many breweries who are breaking out to specialise in alcohol free beers, they are relatively new. However, that doesn’t mean they are lagging behind. Their website tells us that they are “ on a mission to shake up the tasteless, mass-produced alcohol free beer of the past” , and from what I’ve experienced they are doing a fine job at it. They started with just two beers and have quickly expanded that range. Each time they have kept true to their mission, after all “ it’s about taste, quality and creativity”. You will notice that all of their b
