Behind the brand

The story

Louis started High and Dry after taking a sober year in 2023. Part of it was stubbornness and wanting to see if he could actually do it. Part of it was facing the role alcohol had always played in his life after losing his mum to alcoholism.

The break was positive, but it also brought an unexpected sense of losing a bit of meaning. He missed the simple joy of having a beer at the right moment, and he found that cutting alcohol out completely left him with a very clear and very loud brain he had not really spent much time with before. Intense.

the inspiration

At the same time, that year introduced him to Merlin Sheldrake and Entangled Life, which opened his eyes to the world of fungi and the way they quietly support so much of life around us.

Fungi connect the natural world and the social ritual of drinking connects us as humans.

This was the lightbulb moment!

the outcome

High and Dry grew from wanting a beer that made space for all of that.

Something that tasted like a proper lager, kept the small moments of enjoyment intact and still let him feel clear headed enough to do his best the next day.
