UK: Real Drinks Group to acquire Beer Britannia

Real Drinks Group, known for bringing its innovative drinks to the market, has acquired the UK beer specialist distributor Beer Britannia for an undisclosed sum.

The Real Drink Group will continue to curate, supply, and package branded and private label drinks, while Beer Britannia will complement and expand the offering of Real Drink Group into the off trade market across supermarkets, convenience stores, and off licenses in the UK.

The owner of Real Drinks Group, Nick Dolan, stated: “We are delighted to have made this acquisition and welcome Beer Britannia to our portfolio. We have known Steve for many years, he is highly respected and has achieved great success with the business. When we started out in 2005, we wanted to bring the best independent drinks brands to the high street and with Beer Britannia on board we will continue to do just that, broadening the range of drinks producers we represent in the next chapter of our growth.”
