This Sober October, which Zero will be your hero?

Two cracking alcohol-free b**rs, all the flavour, none of the alcohol!

🏆 Goram IPA Zero: Our multi-award-winning alcohol-free IPA, packed with the same delicious, hoppy flavour you know and love from Goram IPA.

🐊 Tall Tales Zero: Big on juicy hops, bursting with citrus and every bit as fruity and flavoursome as the original Tall Tales Pale Ale.

So, which one gets your vote? Team Goram or Team Tall Tales? 👇

🛒 Need to re-stock? Both are available on Amazon, while you can also pick up Goram IPA Zero at M&S nationwide, or Tesco and Co-op stores across the South West.

There really is no better way to spend a Sunday 🍻
