Blade is allows outlets to serve draught beer without the need for a cellar and traditional equipment and Heineken 0.0 is one of the leading alcohol-free beers on sale in the UK.
Following a successful four-month trial, across 60 outlets, Heineken 0.0 on Blade saw a sales uplift of 20 pints per week and it will now be installed across 3,000 outlets nationwide this year.
Stuart Green, manager of The Cabbage Patch pub, London, said: “The industry is changing, there is a bigger demand for an alcohol-free beer and if we are all being honest previous products were pretty poor and garnered a negative perception from drinkers.
“When Heineken released 0.0 on Blade, we took it on as a trial and it has absolutely flown, the demand from the consumers has far exceeded our expectations.
“We are now selling 60-80 pints per week in addition to our existing packaged sales, of 1-3 cases per week. It’s a really good product, it drives better margin and it gives my customers a much better experience.”
