State of Play is New Zealand’s first zero-alcohol brewery, launched when founder Grant Caunter returned home after 25 years of brewing across NZ and Europe, and couldn’t find a beer that satisfied without the booze.
​
With bold ambition, State of Play set out to craft full-flavour beers using a yeast that produces virtually no alcohol, rather than stripping it out later - a technique that retains the hop and malt character many non-alc beers lose.
​
Rooted in the belief that beer is for more than just “when there’s alcohol invited”, State of Play offers a crafted alternative. Whether you’re socialising sober, cutting back, or simply seeking something new, this is for anyone who wants the taste of a great beer without compromise.
