Days Brewing

What Days Brewing does

Days Brewing Co (legal entity Better Beverage Company Ltd) is an Edinburgh-headquartered independent non-alcoholic beer producer operating as a UK-focused CPG brand. Its core offering comprises 0.0% ABV Lager (~33 kcal) and Pale Ale (~69 kcal), with a Sunrise Series of limited-edition fruit lagers (Peach and Passion Fruit), mixed packs, gift sets (Starter Pack, Sharer Pack), and branded accessories (glasses, opener, cap). The production approach combines traditional brewing with a described state-of-the-art de-alcoholisation technique intended to retain flavour at 0.0% ABV, using premium hops (Hallertau, CTZ, Magnum, Herkules) and plant-based, all-natural ingredients.

Revenue generation spans four streams: direct e-commerce via daysbrewing.com (~£26.99 per 12 cans), a subscription service (12/24/48 can tiers at ~£1.50-£2.24 per can with free shipping and 20% subscription discount), wholesale distribution through UK grocers Tesco, Waitrose and Ocado, and on-trade/draught sales to pubs and restaurants including Prezzo and a Stonegate Group partnership covering 1,000+ pubs. Pricing also includes volume packs, the Refer-a-Friend £10/£10 mechanic, and free-pint promotional vouchers tied to retail 4-pack purchases. A bespoke draught format launched in December 2024 and is set for UK on-trade rollout in summer 2026.

Customer segments centre on health-conscious moderators seeking the social experience of beer without alcohol-related side effects, plus mainstream consumers looking for low-calorie refreshment. Distribution extends to ~3,500 UK retail and on-trade points, supported by 2,500+ five-star reviews, B Corporation certification, and World Beer Award recognition. In May 2026 the brand joined the Sunrise Beverage portfolio alongside Efes and Orion, with co-founders Mike Gammell and Duncan Keith moving into Sunrise to accelerate UK growth.
