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.

Leinenkugel’s drops shandy-infused custard sandwich
A boozy ice cream sandwich for the ages
Leidenkugel's Summer Shandwich.

There are a lot of fine ways to beat the summer heat. Lately, it's been frozen treats hit with a little hooch from the likes of Miller High Life. Following suit and working with boozy ice cream pros Tipsy Scoop, Leinenkugel's has dropped a special frozen custard.

Inspired by the Shandy, the so-called Shandwich is made with an assortment of ingredients. They add up to be a nice homage to the brand's home state of Wisconsin. The result is something we very much would enjoy, sitting by the lake on a hot August afternoon.

The Finger Lakes Region might be known for its wine, but don’t sleep on its beer
Come for the wine, but stay for the Finger Lakes beer

If you know anything about the Finger Lakes Region of New York State, it's that the area is an excellent spot for summer vacations, with eleven lakes spanning 9,000 square miles from the Syracuse region to Rochester. It's a fantastic area of the country for camping, hiking, fishing, swimming, and boating. It's also a well-known destination for wine-centric vacations due to its many wineries scattered throughout the lakes (over 130 wineries). But if you're only visiting the region for wine and hiking, you're missing out on some outstanding breweries. I've lived in the Finger Lakes Region for my whole life. I've noticed that, like in much of the country, in the last few decades, the area has become home to countless noteworthy, award-winning breweries with more seemingly springing up every few months.
