Andy Miller, the chief executive of Heaps Normal, says that a pure-play zero-alcohol beer company with a strong management team has more credibility than the brewing giants.
The company is planning on building a tasting room and production facility in Sydney’s inner suburbs. It is currently stocked in almost 2000 outlets.
Miller said being a zero-alcohol company makes Miller more credible.
The rise of zero alcohol has been helped by the pandemic, which has prompted people to take more care of their health.

Heaps Normal is a new beer company that has spent 18 months developing its products.
Yeasts and biological processes help make beer that doesn’t require alcohol to be removed from the finished product.
Heaps Normal’s CEO Mike Miller said his company was unique in that it was able to offer zero alcohol products, which is usually only available in big beer companies.
Although he doesn’t consider alcohol to be the devil, he said that it’s positive for the category that companies such as Heineken are pushing for zero alcohol consumption.
