🌟 Reflecting on an Inspiring Day at The Club Soda Alcohol-Free Summit! 🌟 This week I had the incredible opportunity to attend The Club Soda Low, Light, and Alcohol-Free Summit, and what an experience it was! 🚀 This event was a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come in reshaping our drinking culture and how much further we have yet to go. A decade ago, Seedlip and Club Soda were pioneering a new path, and today, we’re celebrating a transformation in social attitudes toward alcohol-free options. This summit was more than just a reflection on our journey—it was a bold step towards the future. Here are my key takeaways from the day: 🚀This is not a trend but a lifestyle and although taste is key the health and wellness aspect is a key driver in the consumers choice 🚀The No/Low category is a demand from the consumer and not governed by the industry 🚀Bookending (starting and ending the night with an AF drink) and Zebra striping (alternating between low & no drinks on the same drinking occasion) are proving popular with tactics for moderation and pushing the movement forward. 3.9 million 18 -24 year olds say they have used zebra striping. 🚀Alcohol is PART of the experience and not THE experience with experience led socialising becoming more popular. 30% of UK adults have participated in an activity - led occasion in pub or bar and 82% of UK pub goers say that are looking for pubs to provide them with an experience they can't easily replicate at home. It was so amazing to see this category growing and so many people contributing to this space. The insights and connections made will undoubtedly drive the next wave of innovation in our industry. A huge thank you to Club Soda for creating such an epic experience. Here’s to continuing the revolution in drinking culture—together, we can make mindful choices the norm and shape a more inclusive future! 🌍✨ P.S here is a picture of me staring lovingly an a well made AF cocktail. #ClubSodaSummit #AlcoholFree #MindfulDrinking #Innovation #Networking #FutureOfDrinks

With more consumers favoring lighter drinking experiences, low-alcohol beverages are growing in popularity in Japan. This trend is seen in beer, chuhai (a popular mixed drink), and even sake, with lower alcohol content appealing to health-conscious drinkers who prefer not to feel intoxicated. Examples of New Low-Alcohol Offerings: Kirin’s Low-Alcohol Chuhai: In September 2024, Kirin launched a new low-alcohol chuhai brand, "Kirin Kayoi," featuring flavors like white peach, lemon, and grape, each with a 3% alcohol content. These drinks use real fruit to add richness and are priced at about 167 yen for a 350ml can. Asahi’s Super Dry Dry Crystal: Asahi’s 3.5% ABV “Dry Crystal” beer, initially launched in October 2023, has received positive feedback. This beer incorporates German hops for a crisp, clean taste and was updated in summer 2024 to enhance its refreshing finish, priced at around 225 yen per 350ml can. Gekkeikan’s Low-Alcohol Sake “Algo”: In September 2024, Gekkeikan introduced "Algo," a 5% ABV sake with a third of the alcohol content of typical sake. Designed to be light yet flavorful, it provides a mellow drinking experience that won’t interfere with next-day responsibilities. It is available in 720ml bottles, retailing at about 968 yen. The rising interest in these products reflects a broader shift toward low-ABV options that satisfy flavor and drinking pleasure without heavy effects. #japan #alcohol #liquor #trend https://lnkd.in/gN82WGDt

Ok. Here we go. Big deep breaths. We’re incredibly proud, emotional and excited to announce we’re now part of the Asahi Beverages family. This is a huge day for us. It’s a day which allows us the opportunities to finally take Never Never and build it into the brand we have always dreamed of. We didn’t start Never Never to be small. That’s somewhat ironic given we started in a 16sqm space in a shed with no running water. It was always our ambition to build a spirit brand that competed with some of the biggest in the world, we just thought it might take a while. Every big brand starts with one or two people with aspirations of greatness, with a passion and commitment to quality flavour. We want our brand to have a similar trajectory, to grow into something beyond our comprehension and to continue to tell our story for generations to come. While this is a game changer for our brand, outside of the support it provides, this won’t change the core of the business. Rest assured, the founder team will be working hard to continue to achieve the success that has got us to this point. Tim will keep making –what we think– is the world’s best liquid (no pressure Tim). Our production methods won’t change. Sean will keep working closely with the best bars around the country and coming up with even bigger April Fool’s Day gags (maybe we actually go to Mars after all?). George will keep running the business, drinking martinis and running marathons (what, he hasn’t told you yet? He will. Great time by the way). The rest of our team will be staying on and will be able to grow securely within the business. We also plan on making new hires that will assist in growing our small South Australian gin brand into a much bigger one. From the days of selling gin to local bars from the boot of Tim’s old beat-up Magna, to exporting our products around the world, working with Asahi Beverages will continue to grow our distribution networks across the country and reach new brand fans in every corner. We’re finally going to make good on a request from many of you, to build a 700ml bottle which we will couple with an exciting new label. We’ve been working on a pack glow-up for the past couple of years and can’t wait to finally share it. We’re emotional, we haven’t slept properly in months but most of all, we’re so incredibly thankful. Thankful to our supporters who have been with us from the very beginning, who have proudly purchased bottles and talked about us to their friends or anyone who would listen. We would not be here if it wasn’t for you. We’ve always aimed for the horizon (that’s why it’s on our bottle) and we’ve worked non-stop to get here. Now, we’re staring at the next horizon and the one beyond that. The work has only just begun, and we can’t wait to grow Never Never into something incredibly special and share it with you all. It’s time for a gin & tonic. Our shout. Much love. Sean Baxter, Tim Boast and George Georgiadis.
