High & Dry — our debut functional lager — was born from wanting a drink that fits how people actually live now. It’s about finding balance without losing the joy in things, and making better choices without overthinking them. A proper lager that happens to be functional — not the other way around.
High & Dry was started by the two of us, Louis and Don.
Louis wanted better, more meaningful, alcohol free beer. Don was the award winning brewer who could make it happen.
Yes. In the UK, anything 0.5% ABV and under counts as alcohol free. High & Dry is 0.4%, which is less than a ripe banana, a glass of orange juice or a homemade sourdough starter.
Yes. High & Dry is gluten free.
We brew with malted barley, but the gluten is removed during the process and every batch is independently tested to below 10 parts per million, which meets the Coeliac UK gluten free standard.
We use Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps because they are widely enjoyed for their functional qualities and long history of use. People choose them for focus, energy and a sense of natural clarity, and they fit the way many of us want to drink now. We include them in safe, food grade amounts that complement the beer rather than overpower it.
No. At 0.4% ABV your body metabolises the alcohol faster than you can drink it, so it cannot make you drunk. You would feel the effects of a ripe banana before a can of High & Dry.
No. You will not feel any instant effect from the mushrooms. We use food grade amounts that are safe and gentle, designed to sit quietly within the beer rather than create a noticeable feeling. We are lager first - functional benefits second. It's like taking vitamins.

No. The mushroom amounts in High & Dry are safe and food grade. You would need to drink far more than anyone reasonably could for it to approach a high dose - this is not an invitation to try.
