Life is more demanding than ever. The workday bleeds into the evening. Emails arrive at all hours. New obligations are constantly popping up. Most of us have a post-work ritual that gives us that moment of release, that transition from "work mode" to "life mode."
If alcohol is your go-to for switching off after work, then you're silently sabotaging your sleep, gaining weight faster, and ruining your productivity.
The Sleep Disruption: Even one or two drinks can reduce sleep quality by 24%, leaving you starting the next day at a deficit.
The Extra Calories: The average alcoholic beer contains 150-200 calories—roughly equivalent to a glazed donut with each drink.
The Cognitive Impact: Research shows even moderate alcohol consumption affects brain function the following day, reducing productivity by up to 17%.
The Anxiety Spike: "Hangxiety" is real—alcohol's interaction with neurotransmitters often leads to increased anxiety the day after drinking.

Most people trying to unwind without alcohol turn to one of these common alternatives:
Meditation apps offer mental calm but lack the ritual and sensory experience
Herbal teas provide warmth but miss the complexity, pronounced effect, and social context of a proper drink.
Traditional non-alcoholic beers often taste watery, sweet, metallic, or artificial
CBD products offer relaxation, but with inconsistent effects and questionable legal status.
These solutions aren’t as bad as alcohol for you, but the problem is, they all also come with a huge cost, whether it's health, taste, or that relaxation effect.
That’s why we’ve spent the last five years developing a healthy solution designed to help people relax and unwind after a long day without the hangover or regret.
Currently, thousands of people from the UK are switching to this solution and reporting that they absolutely love it.

Recent scientific research has uncovered a fascinating family of natural compounds that have been used for centuries in traditional medicine but are only now being understood by modern science.
These compounds—called adaptogens—have been studied extensively for their ability to help the body manage stress and promote a natural state of relaxation without sedation or impairment.
How do they work?
Naturally alcohol, which dulls your nervous system which brings your brain out of balance to an unnatural degree
Lower cortisol (your primary stress hormone)
Boost serotonin naturally (your mood stabilizer)
Enhance GABA activity (the calming neurotransmitter alcohol mimics)
The result? Genuine relaxation and mood improvement without fog, fatigue, or fuzzy mornings.
We know you probably don’t want to end your day by downing a bunch of supplements and mushrooms just to relax, so we did something completely different.
We’ve created a non-alcoholic beer infused with adaptogens and calming botanicals that actually tastes like the real thing.

How You Relax After Work Matters
If your go-to way to relax after work involves alcohol, even just a couple drinks a week, you could be paying a far bigger price than you think.
Here’s what alcohol is quietly doing behind the scenes:
Increases Disease Risk: Just 2+ drinks a week can raise your chances of liver damage, heart disease, high blood pressure, and several types of cancer.
Packs on Hidden Calories: One beer has more calories than a glazed donut, a slice of pizza, or a scoop of ice cream—and no one stops at one.
Destroys Your Sleep: Alcohol cuts deep sleep, leaving you foggy, unmotivated, and underperforming the next day.
Fuels Anxiety and Mental Drain: The link between alcohol and anxiety disorders is stronger than ever.
Hurts Your Relationships: Alcohol dulls presence and emotional connection—making you less “there” for the people who matter.
Steals Your Time: The average person loses nearly 2 full years of life to hangovers.
There’s a better way to unwind—one that doesn’t cost your health, productivity, or peace of mind. That’s where Collider comes in.
Collider is a functional, non-alcoholic beer brewed with adaptogens and functional mushrooms to help you relax, reset, and enjoy the ritual without regret.
You get the real beer taste, the post-work calm, and the next-day clarity. No hangover. No guilt. No compromise.
Collider stands up well on taste in an increasingly competitive field of alcohol-free beers, but the positive effects of the mushrooms set it apart. Well worth a try.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly are adaptogens and functional mushrooms?
Adaptogens (including functional mushrooms) are plants and mushrooms that have been well studied to elicit powerful effects on your body's response to stress, anxiety, fatigue and overall wellbeing.
Adaptogens bring your body back to a steady balance by managing both physical and mental stressors. They do this through multiple pathways including reducing cortisol, modulating serotonin, increasing the bodies response to GABA (the same molecule alcohol mimics) amongst others.
Our Unwind Blend uses a combination of three complimentary adaptogens for a more pronounced effect.
What does it feel like?
Adaptogens are designed to take you to a natural state of relaxation: you at your calmest.
Different people are affected in different ways, with the majority experiencing mild relaxation, some experiencing a strong sense of relaxation and some not experiencing a perceptible effect.
If you feel a particularly strong effect then sit back and enjoy the ride. If you do not ‘feel’ anything at all, then that doesn’t mean it hasn’t worked-the studies have shown that people who have no subjective relaxation response can still perform better in tasks to measure objective stress levels.
Does the ingredient work?
Absolutely — the blend uses well-researched, naturally occurring compounds known to support relaxation and stress reduction:
Is this Placebo?
While a placebo always plays a role in experiencing wellness products, there is strong clinical backing suggesting real physiological benefits. L-Theanine and Ashwagandha have undergone randomized controlled trials showing significant reductions in cortisol and reported stress symptoms
Are these 'magic' mushrooms?
No. Lion's mane is not what is commonly referred to as a 'magic' mushroom. They do not have psychoactive properties and just promote feelings of calm and mental wellbeing.
Is this legal?
Yes. Functional mushrooms and the other adaptogens used in our formulation are legal and declared food safe. This classification indicates they are safe for consumption based on a history of common use in food and scientific research.
Can you drink and drive?
Yes. Your liver metabolizes the alcohol present in the beer before it can move into the bloodstream, therefore your alcohol blood level does not rise.
The adaptogens themselves are not sedatives and therefore do not inhibit your ability to process information or affect your reaction times. There is currently no legislation prohibiting driving when consuming any of our adaptogens. Having said this, always use your judgment: if you are not feeling normal then please do not drive.
Can you drink this during pregnancy?
The alcohol levels are low enough that it should be safe to drink when pregnant.
There is also no evidence to suggest that the Adaptogens contained within our products have any negative impact on those who are pregnant.
Having said this, always consult your GP or a medical professional for advice.

Scientists estimate that people spend 37% of their lives working, 33% sleeping, and only 30% actually living. Make sure that 30% is at your best. Most people spend on average 2 years of their life hungover.
