cting as a one-stop shop for meaningful savings, the platform has already helped customers to cut costs by up to £5,000 a year with exclusive deals on a range of practical tools designed to reduce overheads and free up cash, so that you can reinvest where it really counts in the year ahead.

RUNNING A VENUE CONTINUES TO BE TOUGH AND WE’RE HERE TO MAKE IT A LITTLE EASIER. LAST YEAR WE SAVED OUR CUSTOMERS SIX FIGURES AND WE ARE DRIVEN TO DO THE SAME THIS YEAR TOO!

Across England and Scotland, independent venues are using Value Hub to improve efficiency, lower running costs, and channel more resources into enhancing customer experience and growing their business.

Tracy Shepley, Secretary for the West Bridgford Conservative Club provides a perfect example: “Since switching to Value for Venues, we’re saving money on every transaction, our range appeals to younger drinkers, and Greene King treats us like a priority. The savings alone on our WorldPay terminals have made a huge difference.”

And we’ve recently seen one venue save £1,000 on outdoor furniture, while another expects to see annual savings of £2,000 from new solar installations.

With exciting new updates arriving this year, Value Hub continues to empower independent venues across England and Scotland to step into the new year with confidence and to power up for future success.

MODERATION GOES MAINSTREAM

THE

RISE OF

ALCOHOL FREE IN 2026

ISSUE NO.20

JAN-FEB 2026

What began as a short-term health trend has now become a permanent fixture of modern drinking culture. More consumers than ever are rethinking their relationship with alcohol and that shift continues to reshape the on trade market.

According to the Drinkaware Monitor 2025, an impressive 87% of UK drinkers now use at least one technique to moderate their alcohol intake. Whether it’s a result of post-pandemic lifestyle changes, rising health awareness, or the cost of living, moderation has moved from a seasonal choice to an everyday habit.

DRINKERS WHO CONSUMED EITHER LOW OR NO ALCOHOL

drinks in the last 12 months has risen by a significant

23% SO HOW ARE PEOPLE MODERATING?

A BIG OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR VENUE IN 2026 Perhaps the statistic that will resonate most with your business is that in the last four years the overall number of drinkers who consumed either low or no alcohol drinks in the last 12 months has risen by a significant 23%. From just 22% in 2021 to 45% in 2025.

The most popular way to cut back remains taking alcohol-free days, a practice adopted by two-thirds (66%) of drinkers.

Meanwhile, 44% alternate alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and nearly a third (31%) now opt for alcohol-free alternatives as their preferred way to moderate.

For venues, this trend represents one of the most exciting opportunities in years. The moderation movement is no longer limited to “Dry January” - it’s a year-round behaviour.

Offering a credible range of alcohol-free (AF) options helps venues cater to every type of customer, from those cutting back to those choosing not to drink at all.

Younger consumers are driving this growth. Among 18–35-year-olds, half (50%) say they regularly choose low- or no-alcohol drinks - up from just 28% in 2018. Their motivations span health, fitness, mental well-being, and even financial prudence. For many, moderation isn’t about abstaining; it’s about balance.

Quality and choice are key. The days of a single token Alcohol Free lager are long gone. Customers now expect variety, authenticity, and the same level of experience they’d get with any other drink. Stocking well-known brands also reassures guests that they’re not compromising on taste or quality.

WHAT'S TRENDING? The category is evolving fast, with innovation and quality driving strong growth across multiple styles:

Premium Alcohol-Free Lagers: Big names like Corona and Estrella Galicia continue to lead the charge, appealing to those who want full flavour without the ABV. Refreshing Alcohol Free Ciders: Flavoured options remain strong, with Kopperberg offering fruity, sessionable serves. Traditionalists still favour credible brands like Thatchers.

WHY IT MATTERS For venues, offering a diverse alcohol-free range isn’t just about inclusivity, it’s good business. Alcohol Free drinkers still spend on experiences, food and social moments.

By showcasing great-tasting options, pubs and restaurants can keep groups together, maintain rounds at the bar, and extend dwell time.

Low & No Spirits: Brands such as CleanCo offer great-tasting options perfect for creative mixed serves.

Alcohol-Free Wines & Sparkling Alternatives: With producers refining their techniques, these are gaining traction - ideal for food pairings and social occasions where a glass of wine still feels right.

AF beers and ciders to stylish low-and-no spirits and wines, we can help you create a balanced range with genuine appeal for every guest.

Speak to your SDM today about refreshing your alcohol-free range for 2026 and make sure your venue is ready for a moderation movement that’s here to stay.

And for customers, it’s no longer about “missing out.” It’s about having choices that fit their lifestyle, their goals and their occasions, without losing that sense of enjoyment that only a great night out can deliver.

BUILDING YOUR 2026 RANGE Greene King and Belhaven offer an exceptional portfolio to help you meet this growing demand. From award-winning

Estrella Galicia 0,0% Estrella Galicia 0,0 is one of the UK’s top-performing draught 0.0% beers, crafted through an uninterrupted fermentation process to deliver the flavour drinkers expect.

LEVELS Reaching new

Following in the footsteps of their parents Ian and Helen Calder, sisters Michelle Douglas and Pamela Kelly believe their switch to Belhaven just over a year ago has enabled their business to really flourish, as Pamela explained:

“One of our customers who owns another pub told us about what he was getting from Belhaven - we certainly weren’t getting that from our previous supplier. So, it seemed like a no brainer to make the change, and we haven’t looked back since.

“We’re really happy. It’s sparked off an excellent relationship, opening new doors for us in the process.

Such as the introduction to Coca-Cola and all their brands too.”

As you might expect with the business being under their ownership for 37 years, it has evolved considerably during that time. And Michelle described how her family managing to purchase the building from Punch during the recession in 2008 gave them the freedom they craved to really make their mark.

“I went to catering college to train as a chef. Starting off with Scotch pies and toasties and now we’ve got a really well-established kitchen and food offering, which has been vital for us."

“We used to have a function room upstairs that was only getting used about once a month. It was such a waste of space, so we made that into five ensuite rooms.”

It was a conversion completed in time to take advantage of the reinstallation of a new railway line linking the Scottish borders to Edinburgh. Michelle continued: “The rail link has changed the way the town operates, allowing people to commute to work in Edinburgh and in return for people to visit us from there too. We even have people staying with us who are

attending events in the city, which is only 50 minutes away, because we are so much more cost-effective.”

Reflecting on the business in its current form. Pamela provided an open-minded view about the prospect of competitors opening nearby.

“In a small town like this it’s not about having all the business to yourself. It’s about having lots of establishments, because the more that you’ve got, the more people will come.

“We’re really busy, we have a local football team that we’ve adopted, and people come in to watch sport - with the Six Nations rugby a big reason why people come in.”

The relationship the family enjoys with their Sales Development Manager, Keith Grieve is a

“We’ve been really lucky with Keith, and he’s really helped us to grow our business by introducing us to new products” fundamental reason why they are so pleased about the switch to Belhaven. And Michelle spoke in glowing terms about the support he provides.

“He’s very approachable, he’s fitted in really well with the dynamics of both our business and our family – and we feel like we’ve known him for ages.

We’ve been really lucky with Keith, and he’s really helped us to grow our business by introducing us to new products. In the summer for example he recommended Aspall’s Blush cider, and it flew off the shelves, the youngsters loved it.

“They’ve also just produced a new lager, Belhaven Belter which has given us the opportunity to put that on tap and if it sells then great, but if it doesn’t we can take it off and replace it. It’s enabling us to test the mix of drinks with our customers so that we can get it right for them.

“We’re now stocking a whole new range of wines too bottles that you can’t find in supermarkets - and they are pairing really well with our food.”

In fact, every Belhaven touchpoint received praise from both sisters, with Pamela concluding: If there’s ever a problem, it’s dealt with straightaway. The telesales team that we deal with on a weekly basis are amazing. They are always proactive in ensuring that we are getting the best value and able to make a profit. Things like that have really surprised me and I really appreciate it too.

Deliveries always happen when they’re scheduled, and on the rare occasions we’ve been short of anything, Keith has personally brought it over in his car. We know that we’ll never be left without.

“It’s really enjoyable to work with people who go above and beyond. For instance, at the

26

27

beginning of the year they gave us the full 12-month range of real ale pump clip badges – they are so well organised that they have every season and event covered. Things like that blow my mind. But it just makes life so much better and easier.

“With our previous supplier it was all about what was going to benefit them. But Belhaven have taken us to a new level and shown us things that would never have happened before. They are really on our side, and their support has been invaluable. We’re flourishing because of it.

Keith Grieve, Senior Sales Development Manager, said: “Right from our very first meeting I was made to feel like part of the family, and it has all just flourished from there. Building strong relationships like this is at the heart of becoming a trusted business partner. And with the full support of the wider Belhaven team behind me, I feel that I can provide the Salmon Inn with exactly the support they need.”

Running from February through to mid-March 2026, the tournament delivers back-to-back weekends of live rugby and excitement, bringing fans together in pubs across the UK. With every pass, tackle and try, there’s a new reason for customers to choose your venue for the atmosphere they can’t recreate at home.

FREE RUGBY POS KITS To help you win!

Greene King and Belhaven are offering free POS kits, helping you to advertise the live games showing in your venue, bringing in customers for the duration of the games. The kits also include bunting and fixture posters to create the atmosphere and help sell more beer!

Not only that, social media assets are available for each game, giving you another method of advertising your venue and offers during the games.

Kits are available for Belhaven, Greene King IPA and returning seasonal favourite – Scrumdown.

RELEASES 2026

Our latest line-up of limited-edition cask ales will bring fresh, high-quality beers to venues throughout 2026.

C

ombining innovation, variety and support, the Fresh Cask Releases range is designed to help venues drive excitement, attract new customers, and keep cask at the heart of the British pub experience.

For 2026, we have 14 exclusive beers, each carefully selected by our expert brewers, who are passionate about crafting distinctive, fresh ales that can only truly be enjoyed in British hospitality venues. Limited edition seasonal cask ales bring excitement into the cask category and stocked alongside the core cask range, can increase your beer sales, particularly during themed events and sporting occasions.

The 2026 line-up brings back several returning favourites, such as Scrumdown and Fireside, along with exciting new beers such as King of the Castle, a collaboration with St Austell brewery.

Plus, new for 2026, for our occasion-led beers, we are providing alternative pump clips giving venues the versatility to either support events or simply serve the great tasting beer.

Supporting the range, we are providing Welcome Packs which include all the pump clips for the whole year, as well as point of sale kits for selected beers to support key occasions.

All Fresh Cask Releases are available in 9G firkins and 4.5G pins, making it easier than ever for venues to expand their cask range, reduce waste, and attract new customers into the category.

The Fresh Cask Releases 2026 range perfectly complements Greene King and Belhaven’s permanent cask portfolio, including Greene King IPA, Abbot Ale, Old Speckled Hen, Deuchars IPA, and Belhaven 80 Shilling.

ACCORDING TO INDEPENDENT CGA DATA, CASK ALE REPRESENTS A MAJOR GROWTH OPPORTUNITY FOR VENUES, accounting for 45% of all serves in the on-trade.

What’s more, 60% of cask drinkers visit during the week, helping boost midweek footfall, and the same proportion say they’re open to upgrading their ale choice – meaning a strong premium range can directly drive additional revenue.

Belter is a 4% ABV lager that is crisp, refreshing and balanced in flavour. Subtle biscuit malt sweetness meets a gentle citrus hop character, delivering a clean, easy-drinking finish.

The golden lager is proudly Scottish, and its striking red branding has been designed to catch the consumer’s eye at the bar.

The beer was initially trialled in a small number of pubs in Edinburgh earlier this year. This allowed us to gather targeted feedback on the product and then refine the branding and the
