The Brand
Be Generous. Stay Humble. Get Lucky
Lucky Saint launched in October 2018 with an ambition to redefine expectations of alcohol-free beer and we are looking for someone to join us on our journey. In 3 years, we have grown from an idea in the head of Luke Boase, our founder, to a team of 35 highly motivated, talented individuals set on changing the drinks industry.
Luke spent two years, working with six different brewers in three countries in the pursuit of creating the world’s best alcohol-free pilsner. Unfiltered. Uncompromising. Unapologetic. Rewarding all those who aren’t drinking with the beer they deserve.
Lucky Saint is now the UK’s biggest dedicated Alcohol Free beer brand, and The Official Beer of Dry Jan ‘22 and championing change with our partnership with Harry Corin and Mental Health First Aid. We’re listed in 3000 premium venues across the UK including 46 Michelin star restaurants, The Ivy Collection, Honest Burger, Dishoom, Hawksmoor, Incipio, Pizza Pilgrims and many more plus 2500 grocery stores, including 85% of all Sainsbury’s. In 2022 we have applied to become a BCorp - in line with our 3 team-generated values of: Be Generous, Stay Humble, Get Lucky.
Since launch Lucky Saint has received widespread attention in the media and drinks industry for revolutionising the non-alcoholic beer category, we were awarded Imbibe’s best no/low lager last year and have been welcomed by the prestigious BBPA (British Beer and Pub Association) as its first alcohol free member in its 116 year history. Lucky Saint is also a member of UK Hospitality, Club Soda and ANBA.
We are a fast-growing team, who all passionately care about the brand and maintain exceptionally high standards at all touchpoints of the business - whether that’s working with consumers, customers, our suppliers and each other. We’re interested in people who want to spearhead a revolution in the industry, who are naturally curious, entrepreneurial, commercial and restless to make magic happen.
