Birmingham Brewing Company makes a good vegan stout, if you prefer a local artisan alternative to Guinness (milk stouts are not vegan, neither is Belhaven Brewery). This blends hops alongside wholesome oatmeal, then carbonates with nitrogen for a silky smooth beer with heart-warming richness.
Low-alcohol craft beers are just what they sound like delicious, expertly brewed beers with a lower alcohol by volume (ABV). Typically, these beers range from 0.5% to 3.5% ABV. They pack all the punch in flavour you’d expect from a craft beer but won’t leave you feeling sluggish or woozy, making them ideal for daytime drinking.
Some supermarkets have now banned the sale of beers wrapped in plastic rings. Please don’t buy them as they suffocate and injure birds and wildlife, as they are invisible in water. If you see any, just rip the holes and put them in the nearest litter bin. Or ideally place them in local supermarket bag bins, where they can be recycled.
