‘I gave Tom Holland's no-alcohol lager to a beer fan and here's what he thought'
Hollywood actor Tom Holland has created his own line of non-alcohol beers, and we tried them out – and they make a great Father's Day gift for those who don't want alcohol With Father's Day is now just over a week away, there seems to be a large focus on beer in the shops at the moment. But nowadays enjoying a cold pint doesn't necessarily mean having to drink alcohol, and nowadays there are plenty of great non-alcoholic beers and lagers to choose from – including one new beer brand created by A-list actor Tom Holland. The Spider-Man star launched BERO, his premium no- (or rather, very very low-) alcohol beer, in the UK at the beginning of this year, after speaking openly about his problems with alcohol in the past. Keen to test it out, I secretly gave some of BERO's drinks to a beer lover, without telling them that it was alcohol-free, and – spoiler alert – they couldn't tell the difference. BERO currently sells four different brews: Edge Hill Hazy IPA, Kingston Golden Pils, Noon Wheat and the newly launched Double Tasty West Coast Style IPA, all with alcohol content of less than 0.5%, and with prices starting from £14 for a six-pack from the BERO website. As our tester typically drinks lager over ales, I poured him a glass of Kingston Golden Pils, which is BERO's lager-style offering and lists its tasting notes as "malty, biscuit, herbal, spicy, grassy, toast, bread, Vienna malt, moderate bitterness" (please ignore the totally inappropriate glass it's been poured into in the photo above; I clearly need to invest in some proper beer glassware...). Our tester is normally pretty sceptical about non-alcoholic beers ("I'd rather have nothing," is his typical response...), but I could tell that he really enjoyed this, praising its flavours and how crisp and refreshing it was. It also poured a really authentic looking head, unlike a lot of no-alcohol alternatives. Although he suspected it might contain a lower alcohol percentage than his usual favourite, he didn't realise it there was 'no' alcohol in it until I told him. As a non-beer-drinker myself, I also had a sip – and honestly couldn't believe how nice it was. It wasn't at all sweet or watery like a lot of zero-alcohol alternatives, and tasted really premium – but without the very bitter tang that I usually dislike in alcoholic beers. I could definitely see myself enjoying this on a warm summer's day. There are also plenty of five star reviews of these cans over on the BERO website, with customers calling Kingston Golden Pils "one of the best NA beers I've tried" and saying how it " tastes exactly how a beer should, has amazing texture and perfect body". My top picks for gifting from BERO are the variety packs, starting from £28.50 for 12 cans, which are a great way to trial the range. Another place to shop for no-alcohol beers is BrewDog; its Mixed AF selection pack can be bought in boxes of eight, 24 or 48 cans, with prices starting from £10. BeerHunter, meanwhile, sells a 12-pack Craft Beer Low/No Alcohol Free Mixed Beer Selection for £25.95, containing a large range of cans and bottles.

Tom Holland's new alcohol-free beer Bero is back in stock – here's where to buy
It's 2025, and Tom Holland has the Midas touch. So when he released his own alcohol-free beer – the golden-canned Bero – in January, it was no surprise that high demand saw UK reserves run dry almost immediately. Now stocks have been replenished, and Spiderman's brand is ready to go again, with the cool canned drink available to buy online and at Soho House venues. The beer was created off the back of Holland's own journey to sobriety, with the actor having first ditched drinking three years ago. The launch comes at a time in which many of us are cutting back on booze or giving up on drinking entirely in order to prioritise healthier habits, improved mental health and longevity. These days, it's considered cool to be sober and with so many alcohol-free drink options available and celebrities openly discussing their journeys to sobriety, it's much easier to swap beer for something better for you, swerving a hangover in the process. The idea for Bero began in 2022, when Holland decided to do Dry January, but found that all he could think about was having a drink. 'I was definitely addicted to alcohol. [I'm] not shying away from that at all,' he previously admitted on the Jay Shetty Podcast. The actor decided to extend the Dry January challenge until his birthday on 1 June, and after six months discovered he was 'the happiest I'd ever been in my life'. Bero was created to provide those in a similar position – looking to cut out, or cut down on alcohol – with an appealing alternative they could be 'excited to enjoy'. Because let's be honest, drinking a pint of diet coke isn't quite the same as a cold beer. 'A lot of low and non-alcoholic beers just don't quite hit the mark, and that's where Bero comes in,' Holland says. 'We want people to feel good about drinking in moderation without missing out on anything fun. We focused on using top-notch ingredients and our brew master and his team have worked so hard at crafting beer that I am so proud of and love.' Bero has launched in three flavours and is each is 'a direct reflection of its founder's lived experience and outlook on life', according to the team of beer experts that created them. This is because, along with tasting like the real beers that Holland has always enjoyed drinking, each is named after a significant part of the actor's life. The Kingston Golden Pils takes its moniker from Holland's hometown of Kingston Upon Thames. The brewers say it promises, 'a fresh take on the bright and timeless, crisp European Pils'. The Edge Hill Hazy IPA makes reference to the school that introduced Holland to ballet – Edge Hill. The creators say, 'this juicy New-England style brew is tropical, refreshing, and hop-forward'. And finally the Noon Wheat is named after Tom's schnauzer Noon. The brewing team describe this wheat beer as being, 'cloudy and classic with a perfect citrus finish' 'Bero has been tailored to the discerning drinkers of the world – people who are focused on the things that enrich their lives,' says Bero chief executive John Herman. 'The UK is fast becoming one of the biggest advocates for low and non-alcoholic beer, with consumers increasingly aware that it offers a way of enjoying everything you love about your favourite beverage but without the next day regret. Bero has been a huge passion project for both Tom and I, so we can't wait to hear people's response.' Bero can be bought online in packs of six, 12, 18 or 24 direct from But be advised these beers are likely to sell out quickly again, so get yours while you can.
