The craft beer was announced on March 31 and featured the silhouette of a beer can. The video displayed the caption, "More Buzz. Something else is coming." The craft beer contains a silver packaging of a standard beer can design with the words "beer (5.1%)" written in a LED display font. In addition, the company stated that its craft beer is "Technically refreshing" and described it as a "Crisp, unfiltered rice lager. Carefully crafted for a distinct and drier taste. Independently brewed in Wales, UK. Nothing engineer proved." The craft beer will be released in Summer 2023.
