Published 3 November 2026. Updated 4 November 2026, prices checked 4 November 2026. Every figure links to its source below. How these pages are made.

Quick answerIf you like Collider, the beer to try next is IMPOSSIBREW Enhanced Lager. It uses the same core ingredients, L-theanine and ashwagandha, adds magnesium and vitamin B1, and puts 1,650mg of blend in each 440ml can. It is cheaper per 100ml and better reviewed.

Four reasons

More blend. 1,650mg per can against Collider's 400mg. Blend weight adds up different ingredients, so it is not a measure of effect, but it is the figure Collider chose to compare.
More beer for the money. 48.3p per 100ml on subscription against 56.8p. Even IMPOSSIBREW's 10-pack, at 68.2p, is cheaper per 100ml than a pub pint of lager at 83.6p.
More reviews, higher score. 4.4 on Trustpilot from 1,000+ reviews against Collider's 4.1 from 114.
A bigger range. Lager, Hazy Pale, Triple Hopped IPA and limited editions, from 12 kcal per 100ml (11.8 on the label). The Lager is gluten-free (below 20ppm).

What Collider's comparison gets wrong

Collider says: "Our full Unwind Blend is 400mg", set against "Social Blend, 375mg" in its comparison table (Collider vs Impossibrew).

The sources show: Not true per can. IMPOSSIBREW lists 375mg per 100ml on its nutrition table. A 440ml can holds 1,650mg. Collider set its per-can figure against our per-100ml figure. Like for like, it is 1,650mg against 400mg.

Collider says: "Less per can. Our cheapest can is from about £1.87 in a subscription bundle, against £2.125 for Impossibrew's cheapest can on subscription."

The sources show: The cans are different sizes: 330ml against 440ml. Per 100ml, Collider's own figures give 56.7p for Collider and 48.3p for IMPOSSIBREW. IMPOSSIBREW is cheaper.

Collider says: Bestseller bundle: "about £2.38 a can" against "about £2.78" (Best Impossibrew Alternatives).

The sources show: Both bundles hold exactly 7.92 litres (24 x 330ml and 18 x 440ml). Collider's costs £57.00. IMPOSSIBREW's costs £49.95, £7.05 less for the same amount of beer.

Collider says: "An independent reviewer who tried both ranked Collider top, preferring our Session IPA."

The sources show: The test is a personal blog post by James Vincent (March 2026). He scored Collider 5 and IMPOSSIBREW 4, "top spot (just)", because he preferred Collider's IPA. He called the lagers "pretty even" and wrote "I'd happily take either". A different blogger, Dave Reads, scored IMPOSSIBREW 9.2 and Collider 7.4; his page carries an IMPOSSIBREW referral link.

Where Collider is right. Its Lager has fewer calories than IMPOSSIBREW Lager (about 11 per 100ml against 17), and its blend includes Lion's Mane, which ours does not.
