Why low and no drinks?

PROMOTED CONTENT

Following Pub & Bar's first session of the Drinks Buyers Club (more details in the upcoming Jan/Feb edition), a selection of key low and no brands talk about the unquestionable opportunity within this category. 

Peroni Libera 0.0%

“Low and no beer remains one of the most exciting categories in growth and with 1/3 of 18-24 year olds now teetotal[1], younger demographics are crucial to its success. In January 2019 Asahi UK entered the category with the launch of Peroni Libera 0.0% which now ranks third in low & no beer value sales[2].

‘Libera’ means ‘free’ in Italian and for us, it was important to give consumers the freedom of choice when choosing a beer, and that choice should never come with a compromise on taste. Offering a crisp and refreshing finish, Peroni Libera 0.0% is triple hopped and made with Notrano Peroni Maize to produce its distinctive rich fruity aroma.”

Nirvana Hoppy Pale Ale

Here at Nirvana, we’re changing the game in no alcohol beer, bringing better choices to a wider audience. 

As the only physical brewery in the UK solely dedicated to alcohol-free, Nirvana brews are true craft; from classic beer styles to modern, adventurous brews, all under 0.5%.

We sampled our bestselling Hoppy Pale Ale with the Drinks Buyers Club. This sessionable beer went down a treat; it’s light and refreshing, using fruity Mosaic hops giving tropical and floral aromas leading to a dry, bitter finish. 

All of our beers are vegan and made with just four natural ingredients: water, hops, malt and yeast. We brew with the same love, care and attention you’d expect from any great craft beer.

Seedlip is the world’s first distilled non-alcoholic spirit, solving the ever-growing dilemma of ‘what to drink when you’re not drinking’.

It is based on the distilled non-alcoholic remedies from The Art of Distillation written in 1651, and now repurposed to pioneer a new category of drinks.

Seedlip Grove 42 is A zesty and warm blend of Orange, Lemongrass & Ginger. It is a complex, citrus forward blend of Lemon & three types of Orange (Bitter Orange, Mandarin & Blood Orange) & uplifting spice distillates (Ginger & Lemongrass).

To enjoy Seedlip Grove 42, add 50ml to a highball full of ice, top with a premium tonic water and garnish with an orange zest.

Æcorn Bitter

Æcorn is designed for Spritzing, mixing and to accompany small plates. We believe the enjoyment of a delicious aperitif sparks connection and great conversation.

Æcorn has hand-picked English sparkling wine grapes at its base, grown on a beautiful vineyard in Sussex. This grape base is wonderfully bright, tart and refreshing with many of the same textural qualities as wine. It is blended with bitter herbs, roots and botanicals, including the eponymous Acorn.

The flavour profile of Bitter is complex & citrusy with refreshing notes of Grapefruit, Bay leaf & Orange. Bold & bittersweet with lingering notes of Quassia, Honeycomb & Oak.

Serve over ice in a wine glass, topped with soda water and a slice of Orange.
