After a long search for the perfect alcohol-free beer, we’re buzzing to finally have Clear Head Alcohol-Free IPA by Bristol Beer Factory on tap at The Grapes. From the very first sip, we knew this one was something special. It’s everything you’d want from a classic IPA—bold, refreshing, and full of flavor—just without the alcohol.
Clear Head has already been a hit in cans, but having Clear Head Alcohol-Free IPA fresh on draught takes things to a whole new level. It pours beautifully, with a golden hue and a proper frothy head, delivering that satisfying first sip you’d expect from a full-strength pint.
The flavor? It’s all about those big U.S. hops, with Citra and Mosaic leading the charge, bringing in punchy citrus notes alongside a gentle piney bitterness. It’s balanced out by a smooth blend of oats, barley, and wheat, with a touch of lactose for a creamy mouthfeel that’s honestly hard to believe comes from a 0.5% beer.
But Clear Head isn’t just about tasting great. It’s a Beer for Good, and that’s something we’re really proud to support. 5% of all sales go directly to Talk Club, a brilliant men’s mental health initiative that’s all about getting blokes to open up and connect. They run regular meet-ups and provide simple but powerful tools for improving mental fitness. Since Clear Head launched, it’s helped raise over £80,000 for the cause and sparked thousands of life-changing conversations.
Inspired by this, we’re working to start a Talk Club here at The Grapes, creating a space for local men to talk, listen, and support one another. If you’re passionate about mental well-being and fancy getting involved, we’d love to hear from you.
So why not pop in for a pint of positivity? Clear Head is pouring now, and every sip makes a difference. Here’s to great beer, good conversation, and looking out for each other—cheers to that!
