Take the Low No Drinker Personality Type Quiz
======================================
What happens when an IT specialist and a nurse join forces to start making beer?
Meet Kristian Harris and Amie Caldwell, the delightful duo behind The Gentleman Brewing Company.
In this episode of the Low No Drinker Podcast, Kristian recounts his surprising pivot from IT to brewing, inspired by a transformative microbrewery course. Meanwhile, Amie reveals how her nursing background and creative vision perfectly complement Kristian's logistical expertise, culminating in six uniquely character-driven beers, each one a homage to classic and modern British personas.
We spend most of our time, however, with The Botanist, Kristian & Amie’s 0.5% ‘Function-ale’, and discover the demanding double fermentation process that has to take place to allow this non-alcohol, tea-infused, health-promoting beer to come to fruition.
The Botanist is infused with vitamins and hydrolysed collagen and is designed for those who seek flavour without the high alcohol content.
Kristian and Amie also discuss the challenges and triumphs of expanding their low- and no-alcohol beer selection and share their strategic plans to introduce more innovative brews in the not-too-distant future…
