BERO, the premium non-alcoholic beer co-founded by Tom Holland, announced the launch of a limited-edition seasonal release, BERO Shandy. The brand's first-ever shandy line features 30% BERO Kingston Golden Pils and 70% lemonade, plus additional fruit flavors to create refreshing varieties like lemon-lime Daybreak Shandy, elderflower Sunset Shandy, and blackberry-yuzu Midnight Shandy.
"To be honest, I created the BERO Shandy for [Zendaya.] She's never been a beer drinker, so I wanted to bring something new to the table that she could enjoy," said Tom Holland, co-Founder of BERO. "I've always loved shandies, so exploring that style with BERO felt like the perfect next step." Pre-sale for the limited-edition BERO Shandy begins exclusively for Club BERO members via brand's official site, followed by a full online rollout starting June 8th. Beginning June 14th, Target will become the first national retailer to bring the Shandy to shelves nationwide.
