Drynks Unlimited has released what it says is the first British 0.0% ABV lager, according to the Manchester-based manufacturer of non-alcoholic drinks.

Smashed Lager will be sold starting in January to coincide with Dry January. Already the company produces alcohol-free Smashed Apple Cider and Smashed Citrus Beer.

“Since we built the UK’s first and currently only cool vacuum distil in Robinsons’ Brewery [Stockport], we’ve been busy producing what we believe to be some of the best truly alcohol-free drinks on the market,” said Drynks Unlimited founder Richard Clark.

“We are so confident in the premium craft 0% drinks we are producing that it was the natural step to add a Smashed Lager to our portfolio, which will help us compete with the category leaders.”
