Brewer Carlsberg has added new craft beers to its portfolio, including brews from its recently acquired London Fields brewery, in a bid to strengthen its commitment to the segment.
After launching its Crafted portfolio of beers five years ago, alongside beer writer Pete Brown, Carlsberg UK has increased the number of craft beers in its portfolio to 64.

Craft beer sales have risen by 15%, with distribution up by 20%, since 2017, according to the Danish brewery.

New additions this year include variants from bread brewery Toast, as well as beers from its London Fields brewery.

Regardless of whether you’ve been a designated driver, trying to stave off a hangover, or simply abstaining from alcohol altogether, your options in most bars have long remained limited. At best, there might have been a token, tasteless non-alcoholic beer or a sickly, maraschino-topped Shirley Temple on the menu. Chances are high you would have gone to most people’s safe option: quietly ordering a soft drink or a club soda with lime.
“We’d talk to consumers and ask them if that was what they would be drinking in an ideal world and the answer was almost uniformly no,” says Sabrina Tandon, part of Coca-Cola’s Venturing & Emerging Brands (VEB) unit. “The best line I heard was, ‘When I go out, I have a two-drink limit and then I’m done. When I switch, I feel like I’ve left the party. If I could have a choice that felt closer to that alcoholic beverage, I would just feel so much better.’”
Enter BAR NØNE, a line of beverages from Tandon and the team at Coca-Cola designed to loosely approximate drinks like dry hard cider and gingery Moscow Mules. Unlike Coke, Pepsi, or other soft drinks, which can leave you jittery at the end of the night from all the caffeine and corn syrup, these beverages claim to err on the tangy side rather than sweet. They still pack a reasonable dose of cane sugar, but the goal is to be better suited to slowly sipping over the course of an evening in a bar.

Craft brewery Devils Backbone aims to connect with beer lovers with its latest packaging that comes to life on mobile screens in augmented reality (AR), which overlays digital images on the real views of a smartphone camera. Devils Backbone also created an app for Apple and Android devices, per an announcement shared with Mobile Marketer.
By scanning printed QR codes on its packaging with a cell phone camera, viewers can see animated stories about its Vienna Lager, Golf Leaf Lager and Striped Bass Ale, letting the brewer tell the story of its beer.
The Vienna Lager features a barn swallow that does bird impressions; the Striped Bass Pale Ale has a soulful bass fish that sings about oyster restoration and clean water in Chesapeake Bay; and Gold Leaf Lager shows an impatient dog whose personality contrasts with the brewer's "Slow by nature" slogan.

It’s a little-known fact that Iron Maiden has been collaborating on an award-winning beer line since 2013. Trooper Beer, a golden ale, is produced by the UK’s Robinsons Family Brewers and has inspired offshoots such as an ESB. For the latest iteration of the beer, the band wanted something a little louder. Enter Trooper Nitro. This nitrogen “charged” ale promises a “deep and complex flavour,” according to Trooper brand manager Sam Kennerley, that “has been enhanced with a cooler temperature and a perfect serve.” To date, the Trooper beer line has sold 20 million pints throughout 50 countries.
