As consumer preferences shift toward healthier lifestyles, the demand for zero and low alcohol beers continues to rise. At the forefront of this movement is HopZero®, an innovative range developed by Totally Natural Solutions. First launched at Brau Beviale in 2018, HopZero® was created to deliver authentic hop aroma and flavour to beers with little or no alcohol.

Solving Flavour Challenges in Low Alcohol Brewing

Traditional methods of alcohol reduction often leave beers with residual sweetness and worty flavours. These characteristics can compromise the drinking experience. HopZero® addresses these issues by offering natural hop functionality that enhances bitterness, balances mouthfeel, and adds dry hop character. This makes it possible to craft beers that taste full-bodied and refreshing, even without the alcohol.

Meeting Regulatory Standards

One of the standout features of the product is its compliance with European natural flavouring legislation (EC/1334/2008). This ensures that brewers can use it confidently across all zero and low alcohol formats. Whether you’re working with restricted fermentation or dealcoholised bases, HopZero® provides a reliable solution.

A Simple Three-Step Process

Brewers can develop a finished beverage using HopZero® in just three steps: adjust bitterness, balance taste and mouthfeel, and add late or dry hop character. This streamlined approach simplifies formulation while maintaining high-quality results.

Innovation Backed by Research

Totally Natural Solutions has invested heavily in research and development to support the HopZero® range. Managing Director Colin Wilson highlights the importance of taste, quality, and natural origin in today’s beer market. With HopZero®, brewers can meet these expectations and deliver a genuine beer experience.

As the non-alcoholic beer market grows, HopZero® stands out as a key ingredient for brewers looking to innovate without compromise.th
