This company makes ‘natural distilled coastal botanicals’ on the coast of Cornwall, one of England’s most beautiful seaside destinations.

If beer is more your thing, this startup has some exciting brews for you. Founded only 5 short years ago, this startup has raised an amazing $140.45 million to date. Despite being US based, their unique non-alcoholic beers and IPAs are also sold in the UK so you can get your hands on some of their unique goods.
This Scottish startup is providing us with even more alcohol-free beer options - however will we choose? They use locally grown malt barley for their brews and are very committed to using local ingredients because of their proud Scottish heritage. In their own words, they offer ‘great taste, great flavour, great times, zero downsides’. What’s not to love?
The name couldn’t really get more French, so it’s unsuprising that this startup makes non-alcoholic wine. Not only is the wine they produce alcohol free, it is also low sugar and made from pesticide-free grapes. The lack of pesticides in their process is hugely beneficial for the environment by preventing soil, water and other vegetation being contaminated by these chemicals.
We hope your summer is filled with BBQs, parties, and lots of delicious non-alcoholic beverages to keep away those evil hangovers, and be a little more eco-friendly. Feel free to send us any alcohol-alternative startups you think we missed out, we’d love to hear about them!
