The Leafkicker Coffee-Infused Amber Ale is a non-alcoholic beer. Big Drop Brewing launched the new ale just in time for the Fall season. The brewery patterned with Square Mile Coffee Roasters to include its Red Brick Seasonal Espresso blend in Leafkicker's coffee flavorings.
According to Big Drop, the new beer is the first alcohol-free beverage to use coffee in the UK. Each beer can contains trace amounts of caffeine, but not enough to give the drinker the caffeine jitters. It provides all the delightful flavors of beer and coffee without either of their typical effects.
Big Drop co-founder James Kindred explains that they are "looking to challenge the non-alcoholic space" with this unique limited-edition flavor.
