Brewdog's Nanny State is among the best of the non-alcohol/almost no alcohol beers I've come across. There isn't a huge amount of competition in the supermarkets I use however.
― Luna Schlosser, Wednesday, 31 January 2018 13:54 (six years ago) link
yes in the sector i worked in until recently -- basically people with small often home-run craft business making things in glass, china, textiles, metalwork and so on -- pop-ups are handy bcz it's only useful/economic for such traders to have an actual stall or a shopfront for maybe a couple of weeks a year
councils offer good deals on short-term rental of spaces they own especially when a commercial reach is on the downturn and has lots of empty real estate: it helps it look cheerful and busy and up-and-coming

I had Becks Blue last week as I was driving. Tasted foul, like they had tried replacing the alcohol with bleach, got through 3 sips and abandoned it.

Nanny State is the only drinkable alcohol-free beer I've found. I can put up with Brewdog's lame names not being a fit with my personal brand. I draw the line at Innocent Smoothies, though, except when they're in the Boots Meal Deal.

There's some brass neck on that ad campaign seeing as literally no one in the history of the world has been "interested in an oat drink" before. I don't even know what one would be like.

Launched Thursday, Bubly will be lining up on store shelves by the end of this month. Also available onAmazon, the water line comes in eight flavors (lime, grapefruit, strawberry, lemon, orange, apple, mango, and cherry), none of which have sweeteners, artificial flavors, or calories. The drink will be available in packs of 12-ounce cans, as well as 20-ounce single-serve bottles.Before you take a sip, pop the tab and check out each can's tiny, friendly greeting, such as “Hey u,” “hiii,” and “yo.” The brightly-colored cans also contain cheeky messages (“I feel like I can be open around you,” “hold cans with me,” and “love at first phssst”).“We created ‘bubly’ to provide consumers with a great-tasting, flavorful, unsweetened sparkling water in a fun, playful, and relevant manner that is unlike anything we've seen in the sparkling water category today," Todd Kaplan, vice president of PepsiCo's water portfolio, said in a release."Bubly is geared towards people that want a playful experience,” a PepsiCo spokesperson told TODAY Food. “In particular, millennials are at the core, but PepsiCo hopes that Bubly will also be attractive for consumers that have never tried sparkling water before."

Top Tip, to save money: just add a few drops of Rocks orange cordial to a bottle of own brand sparkling water, and then write something like Go Fuck Yourself on it with a green sharpie.

I hate, hate, hate it the most when it's making a claim about what the company is like to work for. 'Cute and happy' does not fit in with the reality of what any job is like, even if the job is looking after the puppy in a shop that sells fairies and glitter. Imagine the mental stress involved in making 'cute and happy!' fit in with getting a bollocking off a boss for being below target and they're wrong but you need the money.
