BERO can cheers.
BERO

English actor Tom Holland is entering the NA sphere. The Spider-Man star has released BERO, a premium non-alcoholic beer in an eye-catching gold can. It’s yet another push for the non-alcoholic drinks industry, one that continues to make waves.

Three beers are part of the launch, including Kingston Golden Pils, Edge Hill Hazy IPA, and Noon Wheat. The first two pay homage to landmarks of his English upbringing while Noon is a reference to his four-legged friend.

There’s a luxe aesthetic to the brand that goes beyond the shimmering cans. The website is a collage of preppy activities ranging from tennis to lounging at the pool. BERO sells not only beer, but apparel and a loyalty program.

In terms of the beer, the site describes the pilsner as having notes of biscuit, bread, and moderate bitterness. The IPA features dank and tropical notes while the wheat finishes with a citrus kick.

Holland’s venture comes at a time when NA sales are soaring. He started BERO along with business veteran Josh Herman. The team is out to erase misconceptions around NA beer, delivering something that’s approachable to all walks of life and also tastes as good or better than a top craft beer.

The release seems like a logical next stop for Holland, who is reported to have abstained from alcohol since taking part in Dry January back in 2022. BERO will be available at Target in 2025 and can be ordered online in the meantime.

Bud Light’s no longer the most popular beer on draft
There's a new macro beer leader
Beer

After a long run, Bud Light is no longer king. The best-selling draft beer in America is now Michelob. It's a humbling stretch for the mega beer, which first lost out to Modelo Especial last summer as the best-selling overall beer in the land.

There's no one reason for the change but experts have been pointing to both failed as campaigns by Bud Light as well as a move by consumers towards healthier, lower calorie beers. The newest info comes from Draftline Technologies, which looks at what's being poured in bars around the nation, among other things.

Ferment Brewing Company and Oregon Wildlife Foundation offer collab beer
An ale for frog safety
Ferment Red Legged Ale.

One of our favorite west coast breweries has teamed up with a local critter advocacy group in the name of our amphibian friends. Ferment Brewing has dropped the Red Legged Ale in partnership with the Oregon Wildlife Foundation (OWF), working together to support red-legged frogs of the Pacific Northwest.

Every year around this time, red-legged frogs move from Forest Park in Portland to wetlands closer to the Columbia River Gorge to lay eggs. It's a dangerous journey these days, given all the highways and roads in the area that have paved over their ancient migration route. The solution? Not just a delicious beer that helps support the cause, but a push for a protected route for the amphibians as well.
