No Alcohol January Tastes Great

Well, January is official here and many of us are thinking it is time to work off the excess of December. For many, this means no drinking. But non-alcoholic drinks have come on in leaps and bounds over the past few years so here are a couple of suggestions; worry not we have got your needs covered.

Let’s start with beer. ON Beer exists to offer more from alcohol-free than just choosing less. The world’s only 0% beer that delivers real beer feels and real effects. Rather than settling, it’s brewed alc-free IPA and is packed with powerful botanicals, and bold flavours, and is scientifically proven to give everything we love about beer. It’s better not because of what is taken out, but because of what has been put in.

The team at ON beer say of the brand.

 ‘Developed by a former Sentia Spirits co-founder, ON Beer harnesses a precise blend of botanicals proven in double-blind tests to create a relaxed, sociable “alcohol-like” feeling. Not just mimicking taste; but enhancing it. Each ingredient is chosen both for its taste and its role in delivering a desirable effect. It gives the chance to Enjoy the buzz without the health drawbacks – no hangover, dehydration, or guilt. Just good vibes and great flavour.

ON Beer respects that social moments matter. It’s crafted so that everyone – drinkers and non-drinkers alike – can share in a positive, convivial atmosphere. They go beyond low/no clichés, redefining what “not drinking” can mean, setting a new standard for conscious, feel-good enjoyment.

Reasons for going low or non-alcoholic include Mindful Well-Being; Enjoy the ritual of a beer without compromising health or feeling sluggish the next day. A level of Social Inclusivity; Everyone can raise a glass – drinkers and non-drinkers alike – while still experiencing social rituals. And also Taste & Innovation;  because today’s low/no options are crafted with quality and complexity, proving you don’t need alcohol for great flavour.

Now let’s more on to spirits. Founded in 2019 by entrepreneur and British TV personality Spencer Matthews, CleanCo has rapidly grown to become the world’s leading independent alcohol-free spirit brand.   With a portfolio spanning Clean T (Tequila), Clean G (Gin), Clean G Rhubarb (Rhubarb Gin), Clean R (Rum), and Clean W (Whiskey).

CleanCo offers an unrivalled range of alcohol-free equivalents to full-strength spirits, without compromising on experience, taste, aroma, or mouthfeel. Having recently won numerous awards including Great Taste and IWSC, CleanCo continue to dominate taste-led innovation in the non-alcoholic category worldwide.

“I lived in a cycle of drinking excessively for most of my 20’s. To a point where all of a sudden drinking had taken over every aspect of my life, and nearly tore apart my closest relationships. I knew something had to change, but I didn’t want to feel like I was missing out on life.

Surprisingly, going Clean unlocked so many more experiences for me, and took away none. I’m more focused, driven, creative and able. If you’d have told me I’d be a Guinness World Record holder, running 30 marathons in 30 days on sand, back when I was drinking I would’ve never believed you, but here we are! Going Clean was the best decision I’ve ever made. I’ve never looked back, I haven’t needed to.”

And finally is there a decent alcohol-free ‘Champagne‘? Wild Idol is a vibrant and naturally alcohol-free sparkling alternative to wine, hand-crafted from a superior blend of grapes by expert winemakers. Vegan, gluten-free and rich with delicate bubbles, it is the perfect alternative to alcohol for those who want to drink less, without compromising on taste.

Hand-crafted from a blend of grapes carefully chosen for their aromatic excellence, Wild Idol’s high-quality taste is matched by its equally premium presentation, a striking combination of integrity and luxury that sets a new benchmark in non-alcoholic sparkling wines.

Using the same carefully considered techniques and patient craftsmanship found in traditional winemaking. However, unlike alcoholic wine or ‘de-alcoholised’ non-alcoholic alternatives, Wild Idol’s grapes do not undergo a process of fermentation.
