Founders Vaani and Keeran appeared on episode 2 of season 19 of the show, looking for investment in their beer targeted at women, created to change perceptions that beer should only be drunk by men. However, due in part to their high product price relative to competitors, the couple were not able to secure investment from the dragons.

Commenting on winning the investment, Poster says: “Being chosen to be featured on Dragons’ Den early into our journey as a business, and ultimately securing five offers, high-profile investment and mentorship is testament to the crucial need that PerfectTed fulfils.” A London-based startup founded by two Dragon’s Den contestants has launched a homebrewing kit that enables craft beer lovers to produce 10 pints if lager, IPA or cider from home. Mr Wong, who went to school in Canterbury before moving to Durham, said: “I love alcohol. I really love it – to the point that I became a French Wine Scholar from the Wine Scholar Guild, and planned to make a career out of it. Murray, who moved to Edinburgh from the north east of England 15 years ago, said he grew up in a "food and drink-obsessed family where Aperitif was a daily tradition". The beer you drink from a can did not start life tasting that way and most people are unaware their beer has been stored for months,” it said in a press release, adding, somewhat controversially: “If it’s on a shelf, it’s not fresh.”Former village pub landlord Paul Stanley, failed to secure investment from the Dragons in episode 1 of series 17 for his Cloven Hoof Spiced Rum. The product is made with rum from Guyana and Trinidad and is produced in Chorley. It is a blend of rum made from the wooden pot still at the Diamond Distillery in Guyana where it is part aged in bourbon casks and caramelised, and blended with a lighter column still rum from Trinidad. Then infused with a mysterious concoction of natural spices, including cloves, star anise and cassia bark. A County Durham entrepreneur has seen his alcohol-free beer business score success, despite leaving the Dragons’ Den empty handed. I wanted to be able to go out with mates and enjoy myself, and sitting there sipping soda water just wasn’t going to be the same.

The launch comes as the threat of hospitality businesses closing across the UK has resurfaced amid a surge in Covid-19 cases. Sales of beer in supermarkets performed particularly well while pubs and bars were closed from March to July, with brewers such as Northern Monk and SALT choosing to list in ‘Big Four’ retailers such as Tesco for the first time. But costing problems and the brand name deterred any dragons from investing in Richard and Tommy's business, with Steven Bartlett declaring: "I am here to invest capital, I am not here to recruit myself to be the CEO of your company or here for a full-time job". The investment of cash was secondary, but it allows me to think bigger and go after some larger accounts like Sainsbury’s." The business has also created bartender-quality ready-to-drink (RTD) products - securing listings in Co-op, Booths and WHSmith, as well as selling direct to consumers.

The name comes from the leader of one of the most infamous Moonshine gangs in Chicago – Mr Spike O’Donnell. We found a massive barrier for people switching to matcha was its umami flavour and the time it took to prepare,” explained Levenfiche. “So, when Marisa moved to London last year, we quit our jobs in finance and created an on-the-go solution – the UK’s first matcha-powered energy drinks flavoured with real fruit, so that everyone else could feel as amazing as we did. Our drinks will keep you energised for twice as long, improve your focus and give you the antioxidants you need to look as young as Steven [Bartlett].”
