About Us

Our co-founder Ian is British-Chinese — he couldn’t find a beer that played nice with his system.
Red face, upset stomach, awkward nights out. Sound familiar?

So he teamed up with his best friend from university, Ross — who’d found that beers containing gluten were increasingly causing him issues as he got older. Together, they spent a year developing a drink that felt a bit better.
Something lighter, gentler, and a bit more glow and tummy friendly.

Not a cure. Not a substitute. Just a more balanced option — especially when traditional beer doesn’t sit right.

Thousand Cups is for people who’ve been left out of the beer convo for too long. Whether you’re flush-prone, calorie-conscious, or simply after a better balance, this is for you.

Less flush. More fun.
