Keen to keep their company community-focused, the pair created a Salford Pride edition of their product with all profits donated to the LGBT+ charity. Yes! Think of it a bit like gin. You can add all kinds of botanicals to influence the flavour, and the same goes with spiced rum. Some will be all about the tropical fruit — think ripe pineapple, banana and orange — while others are sweeter specimens, with plenty of creamy vanilla, treacle, coffee and chocolate. A year after launching their first drink, the pair created a dark spiced rum – a blend of aged rums imported from the Caribbean with vanilla, coconut, burnt caramel and cloves, which makes 'the perfect pairing' with cola or ginger beer.

Furthermore, the name Nefiltr also highlights the beer’s signature, unfiltered nature, which is key in creating its hazy, gold colour, and deep, crisp flavour.

The company has now teamed up with Salford Lads' Club and is working on 'something very special' aimed at raising money for the local organisation. Accolade Wines Europe marketing director Tom Smith said : ​“Historically, non-alcoholic wine has suffered from negative taste and quality perceptions – Hardys Zero is set to change all that. But most importantly, the Dirty Old Town Distillery will be an opportunity for the business to base its first physical space within the city which inspired it.

A unique Czech lager that blends mature and fresh batches to create a uniquely hazy, Budvar Nefiltr is unfiltered lager sold exclusively on draught, with the rebrand reflecting Budvar’s Czech origins, continuing the brewery’s mission to build the reputation of the Czech Republic as one of the world’s great beer cultures.The Salford Rum Company was created in 2018 when rugby-league-playing high school friends James Harrison and Tommy Gaughan set out to make a local premium rum that would rival the luxury gin products on the market. Wright said: “Drinking is at the very heart of our society yet so many of us still can’t enjoy it without that slight fear of enjoying it a little too much. By reducing the alcohol content in our drinks it makes for a more enjoyable drinking experience yet still allows us to retain all the flavours.” The name Valkyrie comes from Norse mythology, and these myths and legends have long-standing ties with military and naval traditions. We wanted to craft our rum to honour the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice, marking the bravery and heroism of all those who answer the call of duty to serve." Our products have developed a cult following regionally and are starting to gain a following nationally, too. It’s great to partner with The Finest Honey, too – it’s a fantastic organisation that sells surplus honey from a range of regional producers, and the link-up is testimony to how we work in Manchester and Salford – collaboratively and for the greater good.

Firstly shake the gin, fresh orange juice, lemon juice and Gomme syrup. Then double strain into a highball glass, add ice, top up with sparkling water, garnish with a large basil leaf and enjoy. Budweiser Budvar, the national brewery of the Czech Republic, has launched Budvar Nefiltr (4% ABV), a rebrand of its unfiltered and unpasteurised lager, previously known as Kraüsened. Thanks to Accolade Wines’ significant investment in this innovative technology, we can now offer a superior tasting experience versus other non-alcoholic wines."The sooner we can open the doors and get people through to experience the brand," Tommy said, "the better." Masterchef 2016 finalist Billy Wright has launched a new range light alcohol spirits, DECEM, crafted to 10% ABV. Brož said: “Brewing Budvar Nefiltr takes skill and balance. It’s up to us to add just the right amount of fresh beer to a batch that’s finished maturing in our brewery cellars. Too much, and the second fermentation will be too fierce and will overpower the richness of the matured batch. Too little, and it won’t create the delicate carbonation we’re after.”
