The luxury drinks market is making room for a more considered approach to entertaining, with premium non-alcoholic options becoming an increasingly visible part of the conversation. From sophisticated social gatherings to evenings spent entertaining on board, a new generation of drinks is bringing greater choice to occasions traditionally centred on wine and spirits. Leading this shift is BERO, the alcohol-free beer brand co-founded by actor Tom Holland, which is helping reshape perceptions of what an alcohol-free drink can be.
The rise of alcohol-free alternatives reflects a broader shift in how people approach wellbeing, balance and socialising. Rather than simply opting for a soft drink, consumers are increasingly looking for beverages that deliver the flavour, craftsmanship and sense of occasion associated with traditional favourites.
BERO was founded in 2024 by Holland and entrepreneur John Herman, with a focus on bringing a premium sensibility to alcohol-free beer. Born in London and crafted in America, the brand offers a range that includes Kingston Golden Pilsner, Edge Hill Hazy IPA and Noon Wheat, bringing familiar beer styles to those seeking a different way to enjoy the moment.
On board a superyacht, where entertaining is an art in itself, the drinks selection is part of a carefully considered hospitality experience. From a relaxed afternoon on the sundeck to an evening gathering beneath the stars, guests increasingly expect options that cater to different preferences without compromising on quality or presentation.
Premium non-alcoholic beers offer an alternative that feels at home in these settings, allowing guests to participate in the ritual of a shared drink while choosing what suits them. The appeal extends beyond those avoiding alcohol entirely, embracing anyone who values flexibility without sacrificing flavour or the occasion.
This approach to modern entertaining will have a place at 1970, The Dominican Republic Superyacht Rendezvous, taking place at Marina Casa de Campo from 17–20 December 2026. As the event’s Drinks Partner, BERO will bring its alcohol-free offering to a four-day gathering centred on exceptional hospitality, memorable experiences and the best of the Dominican Republic.
Whether enjoyed between adventures ashore or during time spent alongside fellow yacht owners and guests, its presence reflects an evolving definition of luxury: one shaped by choice, quality and the freedom to enjoy every moment on your own terms.
As premium alcohol-free drinks gain traction across luxury hospitality, BERO is demonstrating how the category can move beyond the conventional soft-drink offering and take its place in the world of high-end entertaining.
Curated for those who refuse to settle for just one flavor.
