Ben Gibbs is an award-winning beer writer, alcohol-free beer expert, and the author of The Sober Boozers Club: How to Drink Beer (and Stay Sober) — the world’s first book dedicated entirely to alcohol-free beer. He’s also the founder of The Sober Boozers Club, a growing community that celebrates great beer without the booze.

After giving up alcohol in early 2022, Ben discovered that the alcohol-free beer scene wasn’t just growing — it was exploding with creativity, flavour, and personality. What began as a search for something decent to drink soon became a full-blown passion project, leading him to sample over 1000 alcohol-free beers from around the world.

Ben’s mix of humour, honesty, and genuine enthusiasm for the booze-free movement has earned him a loyal following and recognition from the British Guild of Beer Writers, where he became the first alcoholic in active recovery to win an award for beer communication. He’s since appeared on national radio, television, visited Parliament on behalf of Alcohol Change UK, and collaborated with innovative breweries such as We Can Be Friends.

Through The Sober Boozers Club, Ben has built a space where beer lovers — whether sober, sober-curious, or just taking a break — can explore the best that modern alcohol-free brewing has to offer. His work bridges the gap between serious beer knowledge and down-to-earth enjoyment, proving that you don’t need alcohol to have a proper pint.
