🍺 Craft award-winning NOLO beer with SafBrew™ LA-01

We welcomed a special guest at the Fermentis campus, Bernard Degreve, founder & CEO of Belgian Balance, to talk about his alcohol-free brand and award-winning Limitless NEIPA, brewed with SafBrew™ LA-01.

Bernard and his team are at the forefront of NOLO brewing, pushing the boundaries and creating truly remarkable non-alcoholic beers. And the results speak for themselves. Last year, their Limitless NEIPA took home first prize at the Brussels Beer Challenge in the Non-Alcoholic Beer category🏆

“We wanted to brew a beer that’s accessible yet complex, so everyone can enjoy it, but also one that got great feedback from connoisseurs,” says Bernard. “Being able to develop great alcohol-free brews with new techniques and new yeasts is the ultimate challenge for me.”

In this episode, we discuss Bernard’s passion for NOLO alternatives, his team’s dedication to producing great-tasting alcohol-free beer, and their advice for craft brewers using maltose-negative yeast.

Gilles Goemaere, Fermentis Technical Sales Support Manager for EMEA, also explains the benefits of SafBrew™ LA-01 and why it’s a great choice for craft brewers.

SafBrew™ LA-01 is available through authorized Fermentis distributors globally. For technical support or other inquiries, visit fermentis.com or contact your local Fermentis distributor or technical representative.
