Low alcohol, N/A, raw, wild, and mixed fermentation brewing.
Our beers are reflections of moments, emotions, and the untamed nature of discovery itself.
Our For us, brewing isn't just water, barley, yeast and hops, but rather, a journey into the unknown.
Our ultralow, N/A, raw, wild, and mixed fermentation techniques allow us to traverse the full spectrum of flavour, presenting our loyal fans with an experience that is as unpredictable as it is delightful. Each beer tells its own story, not through a number on an instrument, but through the visceral reaction it evokes.
Beyond zero.
We started with a question that most brewers never ask: What if the absence of alcohol isn't an absence of anything? What if zero—or close to it—isn't a limitation, but a liberation?
That question became our compass. It led us away from the industrial precision of conventional brewing and into something far more alive: raw, wild, and mixed fermentation. Techniques that don't control nature, but collaborate with it.
Without the constraints of traditional guidelines, every Decimal brew is a statement, an expression of unrestricted creativity.
Why aim for 0.5 and not 0.0?
At Decimal, we believe all 0.0% non-alcoholic beer fall short of being genuine "craft" since they rely on artificial carbonation with injected CO₂ instead of the more traditional and living process of natural bottle conditioning.
In bottle conditioning, a careful addition of yeast and priming sugar allows refermentation in the bottle, producing a fine, integrated fizz along with a touch of alcohol and subtle flavour contributions that make the beer feel alive and connected to brewing traditions.
Rather surprisingly, that is also the same amount of natural alcohol found in over ripe bananas.
Forced CO₂, on the other hand, often delivers a harsher, more one-dimensional sparkle that can feel industrial and detached, and "gassing" becomes an essential practice for marketing all "0.0" zero alcohol beer!
While innovation has its place, we tend to favour producing low-alcohol beers that are properly bottle-conditioned for that genuine depth and character over purely engineered zero-alcohol versions.
There are no style guidelines here. No BJCP categories to check boxes against.
We traverse the full spectrum of flavour, from bright and effervescent to deep and contemplative, from puckeringly sour to gently floral, from rustic and barnyard-tinged to elegantly minimalist.
Brewing, for us, is not a manufacturing process.
It's an act of discovery. Every time we open a fermenter, we're stepping into the unknown. Wild fermentation is not something you master; it's something you court. You propose, you provide the conditions, you wait with patience and humility. And sometimes, nature surprises you with something better than you could have engineered.
We don't chase consistency; we chase character.
This is brewing without guardrails. We do not pitch laboratory-isolated strains and control every variable to achieve uniformity.

Every batch is a snapshot of a specific moment in time. You can't replicate that. You can only honour it.
Beyond zero.
Beyond expectation.
We are Decimal Brewing. We don't fit the mould. We don't follow the map. We brew at the edge of the known world, where the wild things are, and where zero is just the beginning...
