Tom Holland made a touching gesture of attention to his fiancée Zendaya by releasing a new line of drinks.
The 30-year-old actor, co-founder of the non-alcoholic beer company Bero, announced the release of a new limited-edition lemonade line in a June 1 press release provided to PEOPLE. In the release, he said he developed the new line of beer- and lemonade-based non-alcoholic drinks for his fiancée, 29-year-old Zendaya.
«"Honestly, I created BERO Shandy for Zee," Holland said in a press release. "She's never had beer before, so I wanted to offer her something new she'd enjoy.".
«I’ve always loved shandy, so introducing the style to BERO seemed like the perfect next step,» he added.

According to a press release, the drinks are a blend of Bero's 30% Kingston Golden Pils non-alcoholic lager and 70% fruit-flavored lemonade "inspired by the rhythm of a summer day.".
The 12-ounce drinks are available in Daybreak Shandy, Golden Hour Shandy, Sunset Shandy, and Midnight Shandy flavors.
The Daybreak Shandy features lemon-lime notes, while the Golden Hour boasts pink grapefruit. The Sunset Shandy boasts elderflower and lemon flavors, and the Midnight Shandy combines blackberry and yuzu.
According to a press release, the drinks are inspired by the British shandy tradition, which is typically made from lemonade mixed with beer, and highlight the distinctive flavour profile of the beer developed by Bero.
The press release also noted that the new line allows consumers to enjoy Bero at different times and events throughout the day, even if they are not beer drinkers.

Holland said Forbes , that the idea for these cocktails came from his mother, and he got the inspiration for this from Zendaya.
«"Zendaya, poor girl, never drank alcohol, so she never liked beer. She didn't like the beer we sell," he told the publication. "The idea behind creating shandy was to offer the company something authentic that Zendaya might enjoy.".
He also said he's not allowed to drink grapefruit at home because it's Zendaya's favorite flavor. He added that the elderflower-flavored Sunset Shandy reminds him of his grandmother, who loved it.
The actor stopped drinking alcohol in January 2022 and launched the Bero brand on October 15, 2024.
«"When I got into the soft drink industry, I realized there was a gap in the market for truly premium brands. Ultimately, I created Bero for myself because I really wanted to find a product that made me feel part of something bigger," Holland shared with PEOPLE when the beverage brand launched at Target in January 2025. "I wanted to create a brand that not only stands out but, most importantly, helps people feel part of something bigger.".
In October 2024, he told Forbes , that his fiancée Zendaya "absolutely hates beer," but that ultimately helped in the development process of Bero.
«"She doesn't drink beer at all, and after the first taste test she said, 'Wow, these are delicious!' and I thought, 'Well, that's probably not a good sign,'" Holland joked.
Since then, the actress from the film "Challengers"« continues to show his support for the brand, including appearing in public wearing a cap with the Bero logo on October 24, 2024.
Club BERO members will be able to pre-order the shandy on the brand's website starting June 1, with official online sales commencing June 8.
The lemonade drinks will be available at Target stores beginning June 14 and at other retailers beginning July 1.
