New Beer, New You: Detox beer launches for Dry January adherents

As the popularity of Dry January continues to rise, over 2m Brits are likely to commit to healthier lifestyles and reduce their alcohol intake this month. To complement a more healthy month, Scottish craft brewer Innis & Gunn has brewed the first detoxing beer of its kind. Say hello to alcohol-free Innis & None.

Innis & None, a 0.0% ABV pale ale, contains Vitamin C and ginseng, ingredients known to boost the immune system and improve energy levels, as well as guarana which is known to aid weight loss and enhance athletic performance – all of which can help lead to a healthier mind and body after a busy and boozy Christmas period.

  • Innis & None has been brewed using a unique blend of hops including Columbus, Tomahawk, Zeus, Magnum, Hercules and Apollo to create a zesty pale ale with big hop bitterness, resulting in all the flavour of a refreshing pale ale, but without the alcohol;
  • It is available in 330ml cans from today (3 January) on the Innis & Gunn online shop and The Innis & Gunn Beer Kitchens in Edinburgh, Dundee and St Andrews.

Dougal Gunn Sharp, Founder and Master Brewer at Innis & Gunn, commented: “The versatility of beer excites me as a brewer. Great beer does not necessarily have to contain alcohol. We approached brewing Innis & None, as we do with any of our beers, using quality ingredients to produce a bold flavoursome taste. 

“Taking the alcohol content down to zero is part of our belief that beer is for everyone, even those who don’t or can’t consume alcohol. I believe this pale ale stands up to the best of them. With the added Vitamin C and ginseng, you’re now also getting a boost to the immune system for the New Year.”
