Louise Witchell, Waitrose’s buyer for beer and cider, said the store had witnessed rapid growth of low-alcohol beers and was looking forward to developing its partnership with Small Beer Brew Co.

“They are a leading brand whose quality and innovation makes them a perfect partner for Waitrose,” said Louise. “By bringing their 2.1% Small Beer Lager and 2.5% Session Pale into our range, we’ll be even better placed to meet the rapidly growing demand from our customers for lower alcohol options.” 

Small Beer co-founder, James Grundy, said: “We’re thrilled to be stocked on Waitrose shelves. Both in and out of lockdown restrictions, Small Beer caters to a multitude of drinking occasions, whether that be paired alongside a sunny weekend barbecue, a working from home afternoon sharpener, or even post-run refreshment.

“We hope that including Small Beer in their weekly shop helps customers balance the extremes of current day-to-day life, as it’s never been more poignant to reward ourselves, whilst trying to strike that all-important balance.”
