Why we taste better

Zero alcohol beer has well and truly swooped onto the scene. Now that it’s normalised, we want to see it soar

In a growing market of low-alcohol options, Earlybird’s non-alcoholic beer rises above the rest. Our secret? A unique combination of modified brewing methods and premium ingredients, carefully crafted to produce a full-flavoured, full-bodied beer that just happens to be alcohol-free.

First-generation zero alcohol beers from major labels use low-quality grain and boil the beer to remove alcohol, destroying all the delicious flavour. These beers often lead to the “it’s not THAT bad” experience.

The next generation improved with better yeasts that only partially fermented the malt or through techniques like stopping the ferment midway. However, these yeasts still impart unwanted flavours, masking the malt and hops, and the product is still usually watered down to meet zero alcohol thresholds.

Generous amounts of Australian hops and malts, alongside a very special yeast

We start with a specialty low-attenuating yeast strain that brews our beer to a naturally low alcohol content, eliminating the need for post-fermentation processes that can strip away flavour and character. Put simply, it eats some sugars but not others, meaning it still ferments just without getting boozy. This lets our beer retains its rich, authentic taste, without any sacrifices.

We're proud to use only the freshest Australian malts, sourced from local suppliers to ensure the highest quality and consistency. Our malts provide the perfect foundation for a beer that's both crisp and full-bodied.

Great beer isn't just about the malts – our high-quality hops bring a depth and complexity to our brew that's hard to find in other non-alcoholic beers. With a focus on flavour and aroma, our hops elevate our beer to new heights.

A True (non alc) Craft Beer Experience

The result? A non-alcoholic beer that's just as good as its full strength friends. With a rich, satisfying flavour and a smooth, refreshing finish, our beer is perfect for anyone looking for a great brew without the buzz.
