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.

The Extra Special Bitter: A classic style beer with something for everyone
A look at the English-style pale ale
Beer pouring from a keg

Like a lot of great beers, the Extra Special Bitter owes its heritage to Europe. Also called ESB, this balanced beer is essentially a hoppier version of a pale ale, born in England. It's a great option for the spring and summer, as it offers a bit more weight than lighter beer styles while appealing to hop heads and those looking for something refreshing, too.

There's a big time appeal to the Extra Special Bitter as it seemingly has something for everybody. Built into this crisp beer are floral yeast notes, bitterness, earthiness, and some herbal characteristics. There's a signature evenness to the beer, too, the hoppy elements countered nicely by the malts.
