Mash Gang Taps New Brewers in Both U.S. and U.K. as Ingredients and Technique Are Perfected

Abita Brewing Company Selected as Mash Gang’s Official U.S. Brewer; Hall & Woodhouse as U.K. Partner

New York, NY, May 20, 2026 — DioniLife, the leading non-alcohol portfolio company founded by spirits industry innovators, announced that its award-winning Mash Gang non-alc beer has selected new brewers. Bringing on enhanced facilities, techniques and ingredients, Mash Gang has tapped Abita Brewing Company in the U.S. and Hall & Woodhouse in the U.K. The new brewing partners will meet increased volume demands and further position Mash Gang to capture non-alcohol market share.

“Sophisticated brewers, state-of-the-art facilities, and fresh and pure ingredients are leading the next phase of growth for Mash Gang,” commented Damian McKinney, CEO and Founder, DioniLife. “Furthermore, this strategy adds world-class beer experts to our team. Abita and Hall & Woodhouse brewers are fully committed to the brewing precision for which Mash Gang is known.”

Recognized as the top non-alc beer at the 2026 World Beer Cup® (WBC), the world’s most prestigious beer competition, Mash Gang is crafted with precision. Abita Brewing Company and Hall & Woodhouse have a long history of brewing exceptional and beloved beers using the finest ingredients, with artesian spring water as a key differentiator. That foundational approach will be the centerpiece of the Mash Gang precision brewing process.

“While most non-alc beers are brewed to 4-5%, and then alcohol is stripped, Mash Gang’s innovative brewing process leads to a precisely brewed 0.5%,” explained Flora McKinney, Global Head of Liquid, Innovation & Quality. “The move to Abita and Hall & Woodhouse will build on that technique and bring our liquids to the next level, solidifying our spot as the best non-alc beer with the highest quality ingredients as well as added health benefits. This move allows us to accelerate our growth across the U.K., Europe and the U.S.”

Established as a craft non-alcoholic beer during COVID, Mash Gang was acquired by DioniLife in mid-2024. In only eighteen months, DioniLife’s portfolio has steadily grown and expanded across the U.S. and U.K. Now found in major retailers such as Whole Foods and Waitrose, Mash Gang focuses on full-strength flavor profiles, providing the depth and complexity of premium alcohol without ethanol. The goal isn't to be “good for you non-alc,” it's to be the most flavorful choice on the shelf.

“We have worked tirelessly to reach consumers, distributors and retailers,” continued Damian McKinney. “That effort has paid off wildly as we are now positioned as the leading non-alcohol portfolio in the industry. The addition of world-class brewing expertise positions us to grow at pace to share our outstanding liquids with as many people around the globe as possible.”
