Sharp’s Brewery launches new Doom Bar ‘fridge pack’

Sharp’s Brewery, brewers of Doom Bar, the UK's best-selling cask and bottled ale, has launched a new Doom Bar "fridge pack" across the UK off-trade, to tap into growing demand for convenient multipack formats.

The fridge packs, which include 10x440ml cans of Doom Bar, have been rolled out in stores across the UK this month. The cans are encased in a recyclable cardboard sleeve, and include an easy-to-carry handle and quick tear-open fold, giving consumers a new, convenient way to enjoy the premium bottled ale.


The idea behind the format, is to cater to the growing demand for products that help shoppers save time and effort during their shop, and it taps into the growing consumer trend towards fewer, but bigger grocery shops.

"With changing shopper behaviour, consumers are looking for trusted brands that offer larger pack formats at great value, making it easier for them to be stocked up for longer," said James Nicholls, Sharp’s Brewery’s marketing controller.

“We’re delighted to welcome another addition to the Doom Bar family, providing convenience as well as the usual great quality beer for Doom Bar fans across the country.”

Colombian-inspired non-alcoholic spirits firm chooses Paragon Brands as distributor

Non-alcoholic spirits brand Caleño has announced it will team up with Paragon Brands in an exclusive new distribution partnership.

This is first time Caleño has appointed a distributor in the UK, and the partnership comes after Caleño’s strong growth and success in the expanding no-and-low alcohol category.

The tropical and zesty flavoured distilled spirit range is inspired by the sun-drenched spirit of Colombia and the brand is “on a mission to bring joy to not drinking”.

With this new collaboration, Paragon Brands will bring Caleño’s tropical-inspired range to a wider audience, ensuring greater accessibility for consumers and retailers.

According to analysts, the UK no/low market more than doubled in 2024 on the year before. Caleño have recently expanded its portfolio with two new non-alcoholic rum alternatives, including the highly anticipated White Coconut.

Founder Ellie Webb’s idea for Caleño was sparked on a night out with friends “getting down to some Latin funk” but was frustrated by nights our being centred around alcohol.

After a holiday to Colombia, Ellie returned with the ideas for recipes for her sun-drenched Caleño range. Caleño has won two gold awards at The Spirits Business No & Low Masters and continues to receive acclaim from critics and consumers alike.

The non-alcoholic spirits range is the first in Paragon’s portfolio and both companies are committed to driving further growth in the high-quality, alcohol-free market.

Paragon Brands specialises in unique and unusual premium drinks brands. The company has 22 brands from around the world, including Żubrówka, Pusser's Rum, G'Vine Gin, Licor 43, and Martin Miller’s, in its growing stable and champion exciting and innovative drinks brands.

“I am excited to be partnering with Chris [Jones] and the team at Paragon," said Webb. “As one of the first non-alcoholic spirits to launch in the UK market, I am confident they will be able to build upon our success and I am delighted to appoint the company as our first UK distributor.”

Chris Jones, Managing Director at Paragon Brands, said: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Caleño, a brand that has truly made an impression on the non-alcoholic spirits’ market.
