NuWave is a mood-enhancing, alcohol free beer. We use a stop fermentation process to create great tasting beer and add natural botanicals and biotics at the end of the brewing process for a healthy and sociable uplift. Something we call the ‘buzz’.
NuWave is the latest in functional alcohol-free beers. Firstly, and most importantly, NuWave is simply a great tasting alcohol-free beer which we believe is the most important mood-enhancing quality. At the end of the brewing process, we add a tiny drop of concentrated, natural botanicals to the brew. This is what creates the sociable and relaxing uplift when drinking NuWave.
NuWave actively targets the GABA-receptors in the brain, which is what happens after one or two alcoholic drinks, activating those feelings that make drinkers feel relaxed, chatty and happy. At the same time, the tastebuds are enticed with a beer that is full of flavour.
And in a world-first, we also add a tiny amount of postbiotics which support gut health and metabolic health. So NuWave gives you a sociable buzz when you’re drinking it and supports your gut and metabolic health longer term.
Postbiotics or biotics as we’re allowed to call them in the UK, support gut health by reducing inflammation and creating a health microbiome. We actually use two biotics, one for gut health and the other for metabolic health. If you want to know more about our biotics, click here:

GABA, or gamma-aminobutyric acid, is a key neurotransmitter essential for regulating the body's primary hormone systems and other neurotransmitters.
GABA aids those sociable feelings of human connection by promoting relaxation in the brain helping to foster trust and enabling socialising and interaction with others. GABA helps us achieve a state of balance and wellbeing, allowing us to function at our best, in a safe and natural way.
NuWave is brewed with high-quality malt, purified water, adaptogenic botanicals and biotics. We minimise alcohol-producing fermentation, retaining natural flavours and enhancing health benefits such as having fewer calories than regular beer or soft drinks.
This innovative approach offers a refreshing, alcohol-free beer that mimics the social effects of regular drinking, while supporting your wellbeing.
NuWave is ‘functional’ due to its powerful, proprietary blend of natural ingredients, biotics, and adaptogens, providing a pleasant ‘social buzz’ without alcohol's downsides. As well as the buzz, NuWave supports your overall wellbeing with ‘biotics’ known to support gut health, as well as natural ingredients known to help manage stress, and promote relaxation.
Now, that’s a Nu way to drink beer!
We are extremely proud of NuWave’s great tastes in Lager and Hazy Pale. It’s a regular alcohol-free beer. The difference is only that we add small amount of concentrate containing botanical compounds and biotics which are tasteless due to the extraction process. Our functional beer offers a light, refreshing, great-tasting flavour thanks to its quality ingredients and brewing craftsmanship.
NuWave delivers crisp, full-bodied beers, just without the alcohol. Whether you prefer light, citrusy brews or deeper, maltier flavours, our range delivers an authentic, enjoyable drinking experience with none of alcohol's negative effects.
NuWave AF beer includes high quality malted barley, hops, yeast and purified water. These are the four main ingredients of beer. We then add our proprietary recipe of adaptogenic botanicals including Ashwagandha Root, Maca Root and Lions Mane. Guarana Seed is also added for energy benefits and Pepper which assists absorption of botanicals in the gut. Our postbiotics or ‘biotics’ as we are allowed to call them on our UK packaging are also derived from naturally occurring Bifidobacterium.
Biotics are known to boost gut health and immunity, while adaptogens like ashwagandha help manage stress and promote relaxation. Together, they create a mood-lifting, social buzz without alcohol's negatives.

None of the ingredients in NuWave pose a risk to recovering alcoholics, nor have been identified as addiction promoting. However, the adaptogens in NuWave do promote a sense of wellbeing so may not align with abstinence-based recovery programs.
Being ‘drunk’ is a state specifically related to alcohol consumption. As there is no alcohol in NuWave, there is no ‘drunk’… nor ‘hangover’ for that matter. The effect of NuWave has a natural plateau and is generally subtle.
Store our beer in a cool, dark place at 35-45°F (2-7°C), preferably refrigerated but not frozen. Keep cans upright to prevent oxidation. Once opened, consume immediately for the best taste and effectiveness. Proper storage preserves our natural ingredients' integrity for a refreshing experience.
