Gulpener 0.3% IPA

Gulpener 0.3% IPA is a Dutch alcohol-free beer produced by the Gulpener Bierbrouwerij. The brewery is located in Gulpen, Netherlands, and is known for its commitment to sustainability as a family-owned 'independent-royal' brewery. This specific product is a craft-style non-alcoholic IPA that emphasizes hop character while maintaining a low alcohol volume of 0.3%.

Founded in 1825 by Laurens Smeets, the company has remained in the family for eight generations. This is reflected in the branding '8e Generatie Bierbrouwerij' visible on the label. Gulpener is unique in its sourcing, obtaining 100% of its raw materials across the local region in the Netherlands, including hops and grains, to minimize its ecological footprint. The brand remains privately held by the Rutten family through the Gulpener Bierbrouwerij BV, standing out as a significant independent player in a market dominated by multinational conglomerates.
