Play Lager

VETO's alcohol-free pale lager with caffeine -- 18mg per 100ml, the equivalent of an espresso shot per 330ml can. Same Chadlington Brewery base as Pause, with a kick.

About This Drink

Play is the same beer as Pause with one significant addition: caffeine. At 18mg per 100ml there is roughly one espresso shot's worth in a 330ml can. It is positioned as the version for people who want the social experience of a lager alongside something that will actually keep them going. The base is identical to Pause: Chadlington Brewery spring water, pale barley malt, hops, yeast. The nutritional numbers match too -- 16 kcal per 100ml, 0.1g sugar. The caffeine is a straightforward add rather than something that alters the flavour profile significantly. In the glass it tastes like a lager; the caffeine makes itself known more in how you feel half an hour later than in anything you taste. Both VETO lagers are made in solar-powered facilities and the brand commits 15% of profits to charitable causes. Play is available in the same 330ml cans as Pause, and often sold in mixed cases alongside it.
