About This Beer
Brehon Brewhouse Pioneer Non Alcoholic IPA is a modern Irish interpretation of the low-ABV IPA trend — combining rich hop expression with all the drinkability of a 0.5% beer. Brewed in the rural surrounds of County Monaghan, this sessionable IPA highlights Brehon’s commitment to character, craft, and brewing innovation.
Pioneer brings forward aromas of citrus peel, pineapple, and grassy hops, while the flavour follows with light malt sweetness, grapefruit bitterness, and a clean, crisp finish. Despite the low ABV, it holds its own against stronger IPAs in complexity and satisfaction.
Whether you’re pacing yourself at a party or looking for a midweek pint alternative, this craft beer Dublin listing is an easy choice for anyone prioritising both flavour and moderation. It’s one of our most popular non-alcoholic craft beers and a perfect gateway into Ireland’s growing mindful beer scene.
