CMBC launches Carlsberg 0.0 in UK

CMBC launches Carlsberg 0.0 in UK

Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company (CMBC) has launched Carlsberg 0.0 across the UK, at it looks to embrace the growing popularity of low and alcohol-free beer.

Carlsberg 0.0, available in 4x330ml format, will be listed in over 300 Tesco stores starting this week, with wider rollout planned later in the year.


CMBC said Carlsberg 0.0 has been specifically brewed as an alcohol-free beer, meaning it delivers everything beer drinkers expect from a well-balanced Pilsner – refreshing, with a crisp hoppy bite – just crafted to contain zero alcohol.

At only 63kcals per 330ml bottle, the low-calorie brew provides consumers with a great tasting beer alternative, with almost two in three (64%) of the current UK alcohol-free beer buyers showing purchase intent in taste tests.

The launch comes as low and alcohol-free beers continue to grow in popularity with consumers. According to Nielsen figures, alcohol free lagers have grown 6 per cent in off trade value sales in the last 12 weeks vs prior year. (Nielsen: 12w/e 28.01.23, AFB lager value sales).

“Carlsberg 0.0 is everything you’d expect from a well-balanced Pilsner, just crafted to contain zero alcohol,” Sam Johnson, Head of Marketing – Carlsberg, Core Lager & Cider, commented.

“The alcohol-free category has seen great growth in the UK in recent years, as consumers seek to moderate their alcohol consumption across a wider range of occasions. The launch gives consumers a new choice for 2023 that is uncompromising on quality, taste and enjoyment.”

Carlsberg 0.0 will be supported with in-store and online activations at Tesco, alongside nationwide geo-targeted OOH and a social media advertising campaign.

Irish Whiskey brand Jameson has been the English Football League's (EFL) main spirits sponsor for two seasons and is deeply entrenched in all aspects of the league, including player sponsorships. It has now signed up with Admiral to celebrate both brands' association with the beautiful game. They have worked closely together to create a full retro-inspired tracksuit in Jameson’s signature green, featuring key elements from Admiral’s world-famous designs for team performance wear, to create a slouchy royal green trackie ready prepped for pubs, presents, party games and freezing cold five-a-sides this Christmas.

Jameson shares a history rich with the beautiful game, so teaming up with an iconic heritage brand like Admiral felt like a natural fit, with the results speaking for themselves,” said Josh McCarthy, Brand Director for Pernod Ricard UK. “A classic tracksuit, from two classic brands, to look sharp after the match when buying your mates a round of Jameson, Ginger and Lime. Nostalgia is everywhere at the moment and growing up in Leicester, there was no shortage of Admiral tops in the park and at the local football clubs.”
