Lucky Saint

What Lucky Saint does

Lucky Saint is a UK-based alcohol-free beer company founded in October 2018 by Luke Boase and headquartered in London (legal entity: Not Another Beer Co Limited). It produces a 0.5% ABV portfolio — flagship Superior Unfiltered Lager, Superior Hazy IPA, Lemon Lager, and the more recent Lime & Sea Salt Lager — brewed at a partner facility in Bavaria under German Beer Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot) using a six-week conditioning process, vacuum distillation to remove alcohol at reduced temperatures, and unfiltered methods to retain body and flavour. Products are vegan-friendly, sugar-free, and under 80 kcal per 330 ml serving.

The business operates a hybrid distribution model: direct-to-consumer e-commerce at luckysaint.co (UK only) with 10–15% subscription discounts and free delivery over £25; supermarket and off-trade retail; on-trade distribution across thousands of UK pubs, restaurants, and bars on draught since January 2020, including 40% of the UK's Michelin-starred restaurants; an owned pub, The Lucky Saint, in Marylebone, London (opened 2023); and TikTok Shop, where Lucky Saint was the first non-alcoholic beer brand to sell. Ancillary revenue includes branded merchandise (glassware, bar blades, socks, gift cards) and the Lime & Sea Salt functional line with electrolytes.

The company has raised £10 million in Series A funding (January 2023) from Beringea and JamJar Investments — described as the largest investment to date in Europe's alcohol-free beer sector — and is B Corp certified since November 2022. It is positioned as the UK's #1 independent alcohol-free beer brand and #1 rated on Trustpilot, with a stated 75%/70% of Gen Z/Millennials reducing alcohol consumption and a UK no/low-alcohol market projected to reach £800M by 2028 as the underlying tailwind.
