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.

Gnaw ‘new-stalgia’: pud-themed Chocolate Spoons and flavoured choc bars

Tapping into “new-stalgia” (an anticipated hot food trend in 2025), Gnaw has been working tirelessly to rethink Great British puddings by creating a number of “Hug in a Mug” classics (Crème Brulée, Bakewell Tart, Sticky Toffee Pud) in conjunction with an impressive “pudfolio” of dessert-flavoured bars: New York Cheesecake, Christmas Pudding, Banoffee Pie and Sticky Toffee Pudding.

Desserts may prove divisive. For many the last course will always be a fitting finale to a great meal spent with friends of family, enticing comfort food that offers a nostalgic peek into happy custard drenched, ice cream topped memories from yesteryear. For others, desserts are an unwitting dalliance with guilt-filled soft sponges, buttery pastry, seductively sweet fillings, crumbly toppings, sticky sauces …
