Thousand Cups is a decent product.

I was sad to hear that Bu Hong, their previous offering, was being discontinued, but as I did like it, I had no qualms about trying the subsequent Thousand Cups. It's not bad at all, although for my personal taste, the lime could be a bit more lime-flavoured, but that's not a complaint, it's a personal view. The "plain and simple" IPA is refreshing. Due to the low alcohol, I use the beer mainly as a mid-week choice, a cold one with my food when I get home, and it hits the spot - satisfying but not overwhelming. I know the company has tried hard, so I wish them success. It is a good choice for anyone looking for taste with fewer calories and a low level of alcohol. It's a lovely product and I do hope that people will try it and see that the advantages are not at the expense of taste.

Nice vibe but didn’t get on with the taste..sorry

I like the feel of this new concept company and that’s why I tried it. The idea of low alcohol as opposed to not completely alcohol free also appealing. I actually didn’t like the taste of the beer at all, although I am an IPA fan and there was a taste associate with the malt that I couldn’t get on with at all. I bought a pack of 12 and there is no option to return so worth knowing that. Maybe being able to try and if you don’t like then you can get return or maybe having a smaller trial size.

Thanks for the thoughtful review — and for giving us a try. We did reach out privately and offered a discount on our other flavour as a goodwill gesture. While it’s standard practice for most food and drink brands to only offer refunds for faulty or damaged goods, we always try to be as helpful as we can.

We do have a mixed box available so people can try both flavours, and there’s a stockists page on our website if you’d prefer to sample a can or two before committing to a full pack. We're still a young brand, so formats are a bit limited for now — but we’re actively looking into trial-size options.

We really appreciate your support and feedback as we grow.

Thousand Cups lime flavoured beer went down well at a BBQ with our no/low booze friends. Was light and refreshing, without the weird aftertaste that some alternative brands leave. Definitely a great option.

Brilliant to hear it went down so well at your BBQ! Love that it held its own with the no/low crowd — and without that odd aftertaste some others leave behind. Thanks for sharing and cheers for the kind words!

Does what is says on the tin!!

Does what is says on the tin! Great taste and perfect when you want a beer minus the possible headache / hangover. Fact it's gluten free (for me) is essential. Awesome customer service too. Go get it !

Absolutely love this – thank you! That’s exactly what we were aiming for: great taste, no headache, and all the good stuff left in. Really glad to hear the gluten-free part made a difference too. Appreciate your support!

Short, sharp and spot on – thank you! Delighted you’re enjoying the flavour and the low-gluten, low-alc combo. Here’s to many more happy sips.

Amazing refreshing IPA!

Amazing refreshing beer, enjoyed for the first time after work on the hottest day of the year! No guilty feeling midweek, this was such a good and obvious choice compared to my usual stronger IPA. This will now be my go to when I want a ‘couple of beers’ not only for taste but also to avoid any ropey headaches the next day (particularly poignant with a 6 month old baby).

Hi David — what a cracking review, thank you. We brewed Thousand Cups for exactly that mid-week moment when you still want a proper pint but not the heavy head next day (especially with a little one in the house!). Delighted it’s earned a spot in your fridge. Here’s to more easy evenings and brighter mornings.

Great tasting beer. Able to enjoy the beer and not feel bloated. Great stuff, would highly recommend for a low alcoholic beer.

Thanks, Tom — great to hear the beer goes down smoothly without that bloated feeling. We spent a long time getting the balance right, so it’s brilliant when someone notices. Really appreciate the recommendation and hope it keeps hitting the spot whenever you fancy something lighter.

Hi there – so glad to hear you found it lovely and easy to drink! That’s exactly what we’re going for: something full-flavoured but gentle, made for better nights (and brighter mornings). Hope it's the first of many raised cups 🍻

A very nice refreshing beer. Due to the low alcohol level I could drink a load of these and still be able to drive.

Really glad you’re enjoying it! At 1.2 % ABV it’s definitely a gentler option, but do keep an eye on the units if you’re getting behind the wheel — safety first and all that. Appreciate the review and the responsible approach.

Finally something new and unique on the market, most zero percent beers taste like nothing and TC is a game changer with its 1.2% abv. In my Chinese restaurant drinks sales are super low, after Elyse left a case for trial purposes we had to place an order within a few days. Great product and very affordable!

This made our day. Thousand Cups was born because we couldn’t find a beer that played nice with everyone at the table, so hearing it’s working in your restaurant is huge. Big thanks to Elyse for the intro, and cheers to many more shared stories over good food and lighter beer.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Very good. Pleasant experience.

I’ve tried many low alcohol beers and this has got to be one of the best I’ve tried. Great taste and consistency. Very happy with my order, will be ordering again. Bravo.

That’s music to our ears. Consistency is everything to us, so it’s great to hear the beer landed just right. Looking forward to sending more cans your way soon.

Looks cool, tastes fresh!

Love this! The lime one is my fave - the low calorie and low alcohol thing is perfect for me as it’s guilt-free and also means I can take a break from something boozier, plus it’s light and fresh. Yum to the max! Also cans look cool which I’m about.

This made us grin — "yum to the max" deserves to go on a T-shirt. Delighted you're enjoying the Lime and that it's hitting that sweet spot between full-on and no fun. Thanks for raising a Thousand Cups with us!

Great design concept and taste

This tastes like a good quality craft beer gluten free and low calorie but still feels like you are drinking a proper beer
Crisp and refreshing going to be perfect for bbq season will look great in a bucket of ice a great aesthetic
A lovely little beer with health benefits too 👌

A thousand cups... well if you insist!

Ok, so I'm not a beer fan, as it normally leaves me bloated when drinking it, and groggy the next day, however, I was asked to give this lighter beer a go and it was so much better. It actually tasted refreshing and like something I'd drink on a regular basis. It's not like one of those "imitation beers" that claim to keep their flavour, but are a healthier option! It actually succeeds and does taste good! Bonus! I don't personally suffer with that "flush" it's designed to stop, but you know what, silly as it seems, I actually felt good the next day. (All in my head I'm sure lol) anyway, as beers go this is up there. I'd definitely grab these over the heavier ones on offer if they were available. And I'm loving the funky design too! Good job guys!

What a brilliant review — thank you! We’re buzzing that you gave it a go (especially as a self-declared non-beer fan) and even more so that it hit the mark. No gimmicks here — just something lighter by design, that still feels like the real deal. Here’s to softer mornings, better nights, and cans that don’t hide at the back of the fridge.
