After finishing “Spider-Man: No Way Home” in 2021, Holland completed dry January in 2022 and embraced sobriety through this experience. Collaborating with investors and brewers, he brought Bero to life to fill a void for those who wish to enjoy a social atmosphere without alcohol. In a statement on the brand’s website, Holland expresses his vision: “With Bero, there’s an opportunity not just to create a fantastic beer, but to also cultivate a product that makes it easier for people to live their best lives.”
According to NCS survey and consumer research featured in Forbes, nearly 49% of Americans are actively trying to reduce alcohol consumption. In addition, between 2022-2024, the number of low-alcohol drinkers surged by 36 million. This growing trend might explain the enthusiastic reception for Holland’s brand on platforms like Reddit, where connoisseurs of low-ABV options have lauded Bero as one of the best non-alcoholic beers available.
Details about Bero non-alcoholic beer and consumer feedback
Bero non-alcoholic beer is available in four varieties: Kingston Golden Pils, Edge Hill Hazy IPA, Noon Wheat, and Double Tasty West Coast Style IPA. The beverages range from 70-90 calories per can with 12-19 grams of carbohydrates, and they boast no added sugar. Each can undergoes a traditional fermentation process, resulting in a minor alcohol content (less than 0.5%). This level remains beneath the legal limit for non-alcoholic labels and is lower than the alcohol usually found in soy sauce, as noted on the company’s website. You can order Bero online or find it at retail locations, including Target in the U.S., though some Redditors have reported inconsistencies in stock.
One user from the subreddit r/NABEER praised Bero for its role in helping maintain sobriety through February, marking their second consecutive year abstaining from alcohol. They mentioned their preference for Edge Hill Hazy IPA, while their partner favored Noon Wheat. In another discussion, users acknowledged Holland’s influence in elevating the profile of non-alcoholic beers. As one Reddit commenter noted, “Having options for those choosing not to drink shouldn’t settle for a soda or a lackluster choice like Heineken 0.” They expressed enjoyment of Bero’s flavor but considered its price a barrier for consistently stocking it in their fridge.
