In the mix

VARIETY is key to a big night at home according to Big Bear Confectionery.
Tennent Caledonian introduced Lemon T last year as a competitor to established fruit flavour lower in alcohol beers like Fosters Radler and Carling Zest. Tennents is also about to extend off-trade distribution of its alcohol-free line Tennents Hee Haw. Carlsberg UK’s San Miguel 0.0 and Morgenrot’s Krombacher Non-Alcoholic Pils now compete with established alcohol-free beers like Beck’s Blue. Kopparberg says its Alcohol-Free Pear and Alcohol-Free Mixed Fruit ciders have done so well it has added Alcohol-Free Strawberry & Lime to its range.
