It makes three beers, Lager, Session IPA and Peach Lager, brewed by a UK contract brewer, and each contains a blend of L-theanine, lion’s mane and ashwagandha that Collider calls its Unwind Blend.

Who are Collider?
Harry Cooke set up Collider Brew Co in London in September 2022, Companies House shows, after years in the wine trade: he co-founded the prosecco brand Pale Fox and was a director of Pale Fox Wines until June 2024. Collider launched in February 2024 with two beers, Unwind Lager and Unwind Session Pale, sold only through its own website. Both have since dropped the Unwind name, and Peach Lager has joined them.
In November 2024 The Drinks Business reported a £720k pre-seed round led by DMG Ventures, the venture arm of the Daily Mail and General Trust, with SyndicateRoom and a group of angel investors. In September 2026 Morrisons began stocking Collider Lager in 227 stores and Session IPA in 127, which the trade press called the brand’s biggest retail listing. No drinks company is among the investors reported, so we show Collider as independent.
We asked Harry about leaving prosecco for beer, brewing to low strength with a brewer he can’t name, and the summer Collider ran out of beer, in our founder interview: “Something different, not less”.
How Collider makes its beer
Collider doesn’t own a brewery. Its beer is contract brewed to its own recipes at a UK brewery outside London, Collider told The Drinks Business in 2024, and an agreement stops either side from naming it. It’s brewed to low strength: special yeast strains, less malt and temperature control mean “the fermentation process ends early”, the same report said. Our guide to how alcohol-free beer is made explains the difference.
Every Collider beer contains what Collider calls its Unwind Blend: L-theanine, lion’s mane and ashwagandha, according to its ingredient lists. We review the beer as a beer, so we don’t repeat Collider’s claims about what the blend does, and Collider doesn’t publish how much of each ingredient a can contains.
The Collider range
Lager and Session IPA were the launch beers. Lager is crisp, dry and full-bodied with a malty, lightly hopped finish, Collider says, at 11 kcal per 100ml, or about 36 kcal a can. Session IPA, launched as Unwind Session Pale, is citrus and hop forward with stone fruit and floral notes, Collider says, at 18 kcal per 100ml. Peach Lager, the newest, is the lager “cut with real peach juice”, Collider says; its can gives 29 kcal per 100ml.
All three come in 330ml cans. Lager’s and Session IPA’s labels list barley and wheat; Peach Lager’s can lists barley but not wheat, though Collider’s online listing names both. Collider says they’re vegan, and gluten-free because the gluten is removed during brewing; it doesn’t publish a test result or certification. Collider says its Session IPA won Best in Class, with 96 points, at the London Beer Awards; we couldn’t confirm that in the organiser’s results.
