TRIP Or IMPOSSIBREW? 7 Reasons People Who Miss Beer Are Swapping
TRIP Or IMPOSSIBREW? 7 Reasons People Who Miss Beer Are Swapping Mood Drinks For An Alcohol-Free Beer That Helps Them Unwind
Sponsored by IMPOSSIBREW | Updated 3 November 2026
Mood drinks like TRIP are everywhere: sparkling water, fruit juice, magnesium and botanicals in a slim 250ml can. Nice drink. But if what you actually miss is the cold beer at the end of the day, a soft drink won't scratch that itch. Here's how the two compare, using each brand's own published information.
| IMPOSSIBREW | TRIP | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Alcohol-free beer, 0.5% | Sparkling soft drink |
| Can size | 440ml | 250ml |
| Sugar per 100ml | 0.7g | 2.6g (naturally occurring) |
| One-off price per 100ml | 62.5p | 80p |
| Money-back guarantee | ✓ 30 days | ✗ No returns on perishable products |
| Rating on the most trusted review site | 4.4 (1,000+ reviews) | 3.9 (3,400+ reviews) |

1. It's An Actual Beer, Not A Soft Drink

TRIP is carbonated water and fruit juice with magnesium and botanicals: a soft drink. IMPOSSIBREW is brewed like proper lager, crisp, cold and 0.5% ABV. If you miss the pint, this is the one that tastes like it.
2. A Full Wind-Down Blend In Every Can

Every can carries 375mg of Social Blend: L-theanine, ashwagandha, vitamin B1 and magnesium, co-developed with Dr Paul Chazot, Chair of Pharmacology at Durham University. In our survey of 775 customers, 70.6% said they felt relaxed after drinking it.
3. Less Sugar Than A Fruit Juice Drink

TRIP Cherry Lemon lists 2.6g of sugar per 100ml, all naturally occurring from the juice. IMPOSSIBREW Enhanced Lager has 0.7g, and just 17 calories per 100ml.
4. Nearly Twice The Drink, For Less Per Sip

A TRIP can is 250ml. An IMPOSSIBREW can is 440ml. Bought one-off, TRIP works out at 80p per 100ml and IMPOSSIBREW at 62.5p. More drink, lower price per sip.

6. Rated Higher By The People Who Drink It
Two TRIP reviews about the drink itself, then ours:
I drank 3 Trip cans in one evening and can safely say it was nothing more than posh lemonade. Tasted lovely. zero effect.
I have been a customer with trip regularly since around 2023 they have helped with spells of sobriety and helped me get good night's sleep I usually chose the 25mg purple cans raspberry and orange blossom now they are down to only 10mg they just don't have the same effect it's such a shame
Best non-alcoholic beer I've tasted. Feels like you're having a real beer and very refreshing.
This Pale is just wonderful and I am beyond impressed as there is definitely a notable unwind feeling. Well done for achieving such mastery.
Very nice social blend alcohol free beer! Was a bit dubious about the social blend but it works!

I love the lager, you would not know any difference from regular alcoholic lager, tastes amazing. Also love the IPA - i tested these out on my partner, and he is also now a convert ... so nice to relax and enjoy a cool beer - and no hangover.
Tried the mixed box first, really enjoyed the feeling of liking a low alcohol beer. Felt relaxed at the end of the evening and great in the morning. Tried the triple hop next, excellent flavour. Always serve Really cold, it does enhance the flavour.
Tastes amazing. Proper beer without the hangover
