NZ's Award Winning Alcohol Free Craft Beer

State of Play is championing zero alcohol beers in New Zealand.

It’s giving beer lovers a refreshing alternative. It’s for when you’re out playing with your mates and alcohol isn’t invited. It’s for when you’re drinking a bit less to be healthier, or like Grant (the one who started State Of Play), you’re part of the growing movement that is championing the alcohol-free life.

But really, anyone can crack a can, enjoy some hoppy goodness, and join the rebellion.

State Of Play believe everyone should be able to share a beer regardless of the alcohol content.

Their proprietary brewing method creates less than 0.5% alc beers.

All New Zealand hops from Motueka and Canterbury malt.  Brewed in Sunny Hawkes Bay.  Crack a can today.

Chocolate Stout
This non alc chocolate stout is co-created with the team at Baron Hasselhoffs artisan chocolate makers in Wellington. Since February we have brewed stout micro batches and got to work building up this tasty brew with ingredients from all over the pacific.

Cacao from PNG, vanilla from Tonga, and a heady mix of spice to heat up your next beer tasting. In full strength beers the alcohol blends all the flavours together - not our beer - all the flavours play a distinct role in this brewlicious stout.

IPA
Perfect balance of Hops and Malt. Motueka, Wai-iti and Nelson Savin hops combine with a blend of the finest Canterbury Malt.  Deep amber colour and brilliant white head.
