The beer

Little Wave is Firebrand Brewing’s alcohol-free lager from Cornwall. The 2025 440 ml label print and the can front both print 0.5% alcohol. Malt is lager and wheat; hops are Cascade. The can carries 31 calories and 2.9 g carbohydrate, matching the shop page.

The label marks the beer vegan friendly and gluten free through a unique brewing process while still declaring barley and wheat. On 6 November 2026, Phillip Rendell of Firebrand Brewing confirmed that Shorebreak and Little Wave are brewed to strength on the same path, with different yeasts; the strains stay undeclared. Production type is naturally low alcohol. The Firebrand shop listed a single can at £2.70 on 6 November 2026, with box of 12 and box of 24 options also shown and an Add to cart control live that day. Format is a 440 ml can forged in Cornwall. Producer tasting copy stays off the tasting fields. There is no score.
