Damm Daura 0.0% is a new addition to the brand's product portfolio in the UK that targets the burgeoning low and no-alcohol market by tapping into a free-from formulation. The beer boasts a premium lager recipe that's gluten-free and alcohol-free to work well for consumers with Celiac disease and who are looking to avoid or reduce their alcohol intake. The beer was developed through a proprietary enzymatic process that eliminates the need for grain alternatives in favor of enzymatic hydrolization and protein precipitation to break down the gluten without affecting the drink's character.
Managing Director Luke White commented on the Damm Daura 0.0% beer saying, "We know from consumer insight that there is demand for beers that work for people managing dietary requirements as well as those moderating their alcohol intake. Daura 0.0% brings a world-class, certified gluten-free lager that is the most awarded gluten-free beer to the alcohol-free offering for the first time. We’re delighted to be launching it exclusively with Tesco, a partner that shares our passion for these niches.”
