Kev's guide

Kev's guide to alcohol-free stout and porter

Dark by half five. The heating's on, and someone in the house has already argued it's too early for the heating. This is stout season. Alcohol-free stout, specifically, because you've got things to do tomorrow. Even if that thing is just finding the other glove.

It's a small range. That's on purpose. Dark beer is hard to get right without alcohol. So we only stock the ones that pull it off.

How to choose

  • Classic roasty stout: coffee, dark chocolate, creamy head. The Sunday afternoon by the fire one.
  • Milk stout: silkier and creamier, with coffee bitterness wrapped in something smooth.
  • Pastry stout: dessert in a can. Chocolate, cherry, the works. Not one for the wellness influencers. Good.
  • Coffee porter: for people who think a flat white needs more malt.
  • Hoppy stout: roast underneath, citrus and pine on top. Sounds wrong. Isn't.

Kev's picks

  • Mash Gang Lesser Evil: our best-selling stout. A rich chocolate stout with sweet and sour cherry. Black Forest gateau, but you're allowed it on a Tuesday.
  • Ilkley Brewery Nowt Mary: a creamy milk stout from just up the road. Deep coffee bitterness. Close your eyes and you'd never guess.
  • Jump Ship Stokers: named the best no-alcohol beer in Scotland in 2024. Jet black, roasted coffee, a hint of vanilla. 78 calories a can.
  • Brulo Cascadian Tides: a black IPA meets stout, dry hopped with Columbus and Simcoe. 56 calories. The oddball. My favourite kind.

Can't decide? The mixed stout bundle is six of the best in one box. Or add a few to a mixed box with your usual IPAs for up to 15% off. Doing Sober October? Stout is a very good reason to stay in.

Good questions

Is there a good alcohol-free stout?

Yes, and they've come a long way. The good ones lean on serious malt: Ilkley's Nowt Mary uses chocolate malt, and Nirvana Dark & Smooth brings roasted barley and cocoa. Jump Ship Stokers was named the best no-alcohol beer in Scotland in 2024, and Mash Gang's Lesser Evil grew out of one of the most awarded alcohol-free stouts around. We keep the range small and only stock ones we rate.

What's the difference between a stout and a porter?

They're close cousins and brewers argue about it more than drinkers do. Roughly, stout leans darker and roastier, with coffee and dark chocolate, while porter tends to be a bit softer and more chocolatey. In our range, Nirvana Mocha Porter is brewed with coffee from Climpson & Sons. Try one of each and decide for yourself.

What is a pastry stout?

A pastry stout is a dessert-inspired stout, brewed to taste like cake, biscuits or puddings. Think chocolate, vanilla, fruit and a fuller, sweeter body than a dry stout. Mash Gang Lesser Evil is our chocolate and cherry one, best described as cake in a glass. Brilliant after dinner, or instead of pudding if you're being sensible.

Are alcohol-free stouts gluten free?

Some are. In our range, Nirvana Dark & Smooth and Jump Ship Stokers are both listed as gluten free and vegan. Others are listed as vegan only. Every product page shows the dietary details we get from the brewery, so check the drink you fancy. If you have coeliac disease or a serious allergy, always read the label and check with the brewer too.

Can I buy a mixed box of alcohol-free stouts?

Yes. Our mixed stout bundle has six alcohol-free stouts from independent breweries, from rich and roasty to cherry and chocolate. We change the selection as new beers come in. Or build your own: mix any 6 drinks for 5% off, 12 for 10% and 24 for 15%, and the cart applies the best deal automatically.
