Two of Derbyshire’s leading four-star hotels - Casa Hotel in Chesterfield and Peak Edge Hotel in the Peak District - are raising the bar for mindful drinking with the launch of two premium alcohol-free drinks in a format that is brand new to the region.
From this month, guests can enjoy Run Wild IPA by Athletic Brewing Co. on draught - a multi-award-winning alcohol-free craft beer served for the first time ever on tap in Derbyshire - alongside Bolle Sparkling Rosé and Bolle Blanc de Blancs, two exceptional alcohol-free sparkling wines distributed in the north by Chesterfield based Mismo Drinks.
Casa and Peak Edge are the first venues in the county to stock these products on a permanent basis and the first premium hotel chain to offer Run Wild IPA on draught in the country.
“We call Mismo Drinks a 20-year-old start-up business, as it has been founded by two passionate wine experts and enthusiasts, Brian Kirkland and myself, with decades of experience between us,” said co-founder, Richard Embrey. “We are thrilled and honoured to have these two exceptional hotels as partners and our first customer to Mismo Drinks, it is truly a seminal moment for our company.”
Casa and Peak Edge are the only venues in the county to offer these drinks.
As the UK’s no- and low-alcohol market continues to grow - with draught sales of alcohol-free beer up over 77% since pre-COVID - Casa Hotel and Peak Edge Hotel are proud to offer guests premium, grown-up alternatives that don’t compromise on taste, quality, or experience.
“We’re seeing a real shift in the way people approach drinking,” says Steve Perez, owner of both hotels. “Whether it’s for health, lifestyle or just personal choice, more people want high-quality alcohol-free options - and we’re keen to ensure those options are as exciting and flavourful as anything else on the menu.”
The new drinks are available across the hotels’ award-winning dining spaces: the 2 AA Rosette Cocina Restaurant and Barca Bar at Casa Hotel, and the 2 AA Rosette rustic-luxe Red Lion Restaurant at Peak Edge.
Each venue champions local and seasonal produce, with many ingredients - including beef, lamb, pork, honey and eggs - coming directly from the hotels’ own Walton Lodge Farm, located just a few miles from both properties.
Barca Bar offers a relaxed yet stylish setting for cocktails, wine and casual bites, with a spacious terrace ideal for al fresco drinks. It’s a favourite for after-work gatherings, casual meet-ups, and guests enjoying a weekend stay. Now, it also offers the best alcohol-free draught and sparkling options in the region.
“We’ve built our reputation on quality - from the meat we serve to the drinks we pour,” adds Mark Thurman, Managing Director of Casa and Peak Edge. “Run Wild and Bolle are world-class products. We’re proud to be the first in Derbyshire to offer them, and we think our guests - whether they’re here for a business lunch, a wedding, or a relaxing evening - will really appreciate having exciting alcohol-free options that still feel like a treat.”
