DrinkWell announces huge giveaway ahead of brand new beer box launch
DrinkWell is generously packing beer, glassware, coolers and snacks into a single box - giving 20 lucky winners the chance to partake in a luxurious taste test of their best lower calorie beers.
The boom of the low calorie alcohol market shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. It’s a health-conscious world we’re living in today – with more people on the lookout for lighter alternatives to their favourite guilty pleasures.
But it’s not just demand for low calorie alcohol that’s increasing. It’s expectations.
It’s not enough for reduced calorie alcohol to simply exist in 2021. It needs to taste damn good, too.
And if one brand knows anything about delicious alcohol without the extra sugars, carbs and calories – it’s Manchester’s very own DrinkWell.
Operating in the low calorie alcohol market for almost a decade, this local favourite has built out one of the biggest collections of top-tasting beer, wine and spirits anywhere in the UK – partnering with many leading brands in the process.
Heading into summer – a time when most of us are in the ‘no carbs before Marbs’ mood – Brits are still hoping to get in shape and getaway, even if that means a staycation… meaning ‘no carbs before Scarbs’ instead.
And switching from regular beer to low carb varieties is easy – with 20 of these drinks being given away absolutely free.

Manchester favourite Nell’s to open new site for New York-style pizza, karaoke and shuffleboard
Daisy Jackson
Much-loved New York-style pizza joint Nell’s has announced big plans for a brand new location – they’re heading to MediaCity.
Nell’s are stepping things up a notch with the move, adding in private karaoke booths, shuffleboard tables, and a huge outdoor terrace in their new site.
Nell’s MediaCity is set to open this autumn, promising 22-inch New York-style pizza (also served in gigantic slices), frozen margs, and ice cream sandwiches.
There are already several spots around Manchester where you can get a slice of Nell’s, including their restaurants at Kampus and in Altrincham, the OG Northern Quarter site in Common, and at The Beagle in Chorlton.
And now it’s Salford’s turn, with plans unveiled for the team to expand over to MediaCity’s quayside Orange Building.
Nell’s co-founder Jonny Heyes said: “We’ve been thinking about MediaCity for a long time, it’s such a great area and we’ve seen what brilliant operators like Kargo have achieved so when this space came up, we jumped on it!
“The venue is huge which has given us the chance to really play with the experience.
“This idea of karaoke and shuffleboard accompanying our made-for-sharing pizzas and great cocktails feels like a natural next step for us as a brand.”
Nell’s have also partnered with Deliveroo and Slerp to send 14-inch and 22-inch pizzas far and wide.
The new opening is expected to create more than 35 new jobs, and as Common & Co has twice been named in the Times 100 Best Places To Work list, you might want to check those out HERE.

They’re swinging off handbags all over the UK at the minute and people are queueing for hours for the latest Labubu drops.
At Sweet Dreams, they’re making edible chocolate Labubus using a special mould flown in from Japan.
Each one has a pistachio kunafa filling and is painstakingly painted by hand.
And that brings us neatly to the next viral craze at play here – Dubai pistachio chocolate.

Kunafa is a staple in Middle Eastern bakes and pastries but hit the global mainstream last year when thick chocolate pistachio bars stuffed with it went viral online, spawning countless dupes and inspired specials.
And finally, chocolate covered strawberries – hardly a new invention, but this simple dessert has rocketed in popularity especially in food hotspots like Borough Market in London.
Head into Sweet Dreams and you can build your treat from the base up – choose white or milk melted chocolate for your strawberries, layer on pistachio kunafa, then top with either a milk or white chocolate Labubu.
A slightly daft novelty? Yes. But that doesn’t stop them being delicious.
This is the only place in the UK currently selling Dubai pistachio chocolate Labubus.
