Kaleidoscope Alcohol-Free Pale Ale was hailed as “one of the most impressive No & Low alcohol beers we’ve tasted” by the judges of Great Taste Awards 2025

The Great Taste Awards, organised by the Guild of Fine Food, are widely regarded as the benchmark food and drink accreditation in the world where products undergo rigorous blind tastings by more than 500 independent experts, including chefs, food writers, buyers and retailers.

Founded in 2012 as a “nomadic brewing project,” Wiper and True has gone on to win multiple accolades, including at the Brewers Choice Awards 2024.

Michael Wiper, co-founder at Wiper and True said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to have our beers recognised by such a respected body.

“These awards are a testament to the passion and precision our team pours into every recipe. Having our alcohol-free pale ale receive such high praise is especially rewarding.”
