Lucky Saint: raising the bar for no-alcohol vegan beer

Lucky Saint beer

The world of beer has changed dramatically in recent years. No longer is choosing not to drink alcohol limited to sparkling water, soft drinks, or a small selection of uninspiring alternatives. Today, choose from an impressive variety of no-alcohol beers, with breweries focusing increasingly on flavour.

One name that has helped raise expectations in this growing category is Lucky Saint. Known for its distinctive approach to no-alcohol beer, it offers a refreshing option for people who enjoy beer, without the booze.

Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects is that its beer is not restricted to bottles or cans. A draught version brings the experience to pubs too.

Before recycling cans, rinse then pop ring-pulls back over holes. Then step on upper cans to pinch rims together (this stops wildlife getting accidentally trapped).

Rinse glass bottles before recycling, it’s okay to keep caps on.

Do you drink too much booze?

0.5% is the official percentage, as even fruit contains a little alcohol. It’s best to avoid any beers (even no-alcohol) for pregnancy or nursing.

Alcohol advice is pretty confusing with units etc. Here’s a quick plain English guide for average adults:

  • 1 pint of beer or 1 glass of wine each day (one day alcohol-free)
  • 2 measures of spirits daily (again one day alcohol-free)

Note this is either/or (not all at once!)

So in plain English (you can mix and match these):

In a week have no more than:

  • 6 pints of beer or
  • 6 glasses of wine or
  • 14 measures spirits

Of course if you are having low-alcohol or no-alcohol alternatives, you can drink more. And that’s where  no or low alcohol drinks are helpful.

A no-alcohol beer for modern drinkers

The popularity of no-alcohol beer reflects a wider change in drinking habits. Many people are becoming more conscious of how often they drink and are looking for alternatives that allow them to moderate their alcohol consumption without giving up social occasions.

For some, this might mean replacing alcoholic drinks during the week. Or alternating alcoholic and no-alcohol beers on a night out.

There are also people who do not drink alcohol at all but still want to participate in the social ritual surrounding beer.

Lucky Saint fits naturally into all of these situations. It looks and feels like a beer, making it easy to order alongside alcoholic drinks without feeling as though you are missing out.

The appeal of vegan beer

For people following a vegan lifestyle, knowing that a beer is vegan can make choosing a drink much easier. Most other people prefer them too.

Beer is often made using ingredients such as malted barley, hops, yeast, and water, but some beers can involve animal-derived products during processing or clarification.

The importance of flavour

Removing alcohol from beer can create challenges for brewers because alcohol contributes to the body and overall perception of a drink. This means that producing a satisfying no-alcohol beer requires careful attention to ingredients and brewing techniques.

The goal is not simply to remove alcohol. The finished beer still needs to taste like beer. For many drinkers, flavour is the deciding factor. A no-alcohol beer might have all the right credentials, but if it lacks character, consumers are unlikely to return to it.

Lucky Saint has helped demonstrate that no-alcohol beer can be something people actively choose for its taste. Its beer offers the familiar qualities associated with a refreshing lager-style drink, making it approachable for people who may be trying no-alcohol beer for the first time.

Choose from:

  • Unfiltered lager
  • Hazy IPA
  • Lemon lager
  • Lime & sea salt lager

Why draught makes a difference

One of the most appealing aspects of Lucky Saint is the availability of a draught version.For many beer drinkers, ordering a pint at the pub is part of the experience.

The sound of beer being poured, the appearance of the drink in a proper glass, and enjoying it across the bar can make a simple drink feel like a social occasion.

A draught no-alcohol beer allows people to enjoy that experience without choosing an alcoholic beer. This is particularly valuable for people who want to reduce alcohol consumption while still enjoying nights out.
