Tom Holland has revealed that the inspiration behind his latest BERO product launch came from a very personal source: his fiancée, Zendaya. The actor and entrepreneur announced a new limited edition line of non-alcoholic shandies through his BERO brand on June 1, explaining that the drinks were specifically developed with Zendaya in mind. According to Holland, the actress has never been much of a beer fan, prompting him to create an alternative she would genuinely enjoy.
A Personal Touch for a Partner
Speaking about the new range, Holland said he wanted to bring something different to the table for his partner. He explained that while he has always enjoyed shandies, Zendaya was never interested in traditional beer, making the concept a natural fit for the brand’s next product. The new collection combines BERO’s Kingston Golden Pils base with lemonade and fruit flavours.
Four Varieties for Different Times of Day
Four varieties have been created, each inspired by a different time of day. Daybreak Shandy features lemon and lime, Golden Hour Shandy offers pink grapefruit notes, Sunset Shandy includes elderflower and lemon, while Midnight Shandy blends blackberry and yuzu citrus. Holland also discussed the project in an interview with Forbes, where he revealed that the idea partly originated from his mother. However, he said Zendaya played a major role in shaping the final concept because she represented the type of consumer who might enjoy a lighter, fruit-based alternative to beer.
The actor joked that Zendaya has become particularly attached to one flavour in the range. According to Holland, the grapefruit-inspired Golden Hour Shandy has become her favourite, to the point where he is not always allowed to enjoy it himself at home.
Another Milestone for BERO
The launch marks another milestone for Holland’s growing business venture. The star stopped drinking alcohol in January 2022 and later founded BERO after finding that the non-alcoholic beverage market lacked products that felt premium and inclusive. When the company launched, Holland said he wanted to create something that helped people feel socially connected without consuming alcohol. Zendaya has publicly supported the brand since its debut, previously wearing BERO merchandise and appearing at company events.
The latest launch adds another chapter to one of Hollywood’s most closely followed relationships, with Holland openly crediting his fiancée for inspiring a product designed to appeal to people who, like her, simply do not enjoy beer. Club BERO members can access presales immediately, while the shandy range is scheduled for wider online release on June 8 before arriving in retail stores later in June and July.
