Wiper & True brew their first alcohol-free beer
The team from Wiper & True say that their first alcohol-free beer “represents a step forward in quality and technique for independently brewed alcohol-free lager”.
German-style lager Tomorrow has been brewed using innovative technology which sees a helles made in their Old Market brewery at 5% ABV and then gently processed through 60 hours of dealcoholisation.
This “preserves the full spectrum of its carefully designed flavour profile” while removing almost all alcohol – with only 0.5% ABV remaining.
Wiper & True have previously made an alcohol-free beer in collaboration with Huddersfield brewery Magic Rock, but Tomorrow is the first they have brewed themselves.
The launch of the new beer comes at an extremely difficult time for the beer industry, which on Tuesday saw St Philip’s brewery Newtown Park announcing that they were stopping production.

Wiper & True founder Michael Wiper said: “As a product, Tomorrow really reflects the way that I, and many of the team at the brewery, are increasingly drinking: with the next day in mind, but the same desire for a well-made beer.
“There are all kinds of reasons for wanting to drink a little less alcohol, and having really good quality non alcoholic alternatives available makes that much easier.
“We’ve approached this beer in the same way we would any other recipe design: choosing the highest quality ingredients and using traditional brewing methods to craft a refined well-balanced beer that we’re really proud of.”
