BeyondNRG, the mental performance drink brand that struck partnerships with several esports entities in the UK, has announced it’s going offline.

The brand posted an update on social media this afternoon, announcing plans to wind the business down.

While it’s ‘not a complete goodbye, but a pause for today to power up another day’, with a chance of a reboot ‘likely’ in the future, BeyondNRG is clearing out its final stock for now, and offering some discounts on it soon.

BeyondNRG launched three years ago, and made some big waves in UK esports and elsewhere.

In June 2021, BeyondNRG became the UK’s most widely distributed gaming energy drink after reaching 375 Holland & Barrett stores, and a year later, Tesco became the first supermarket to stock Beyond NRG drink.

The brand struck partnerships with teams including Endpoint, Excel, Clique and Rize in the UK, as well as Germany’s SK Gaming, and it also organised a livestreamed Beyond NRG paintball tournament with several orgs in the summer of 2021.

Beyond NRG also flew six of their Space Rocks tubs into space around the same time, claiming the title of ‘first ever gaming energy drink sent into space’.

BeyondNRG CEO explains decision to wind down the business

BeyondNRG founder and CEO Billy Webb said in a thread: “It’s goodbye from us, for now. It’s not exactly the third birthday announcement you wish to make for something you have poured so much into. Three years of relentless passion, innovation, and dedication. Today, we hit the pause button on BeyondNRG officially.

“I am sad to say Beyond failed to navigate the ever-changing landscape of the supplement and drinks sector, and I don’t think we were prepared for just how much budget needed to be thrown at a direct to consumer brand to gain the mass traction we needed.

“Our journey may have encountered a hurdle, but remember, every pause is a chance to recharge for an even more brilliant comeback.

“Boy did we have some fun. Maybe too much which caused some of the downfalls of the brand, but nonetheless, memories of a lifetime were made.”

BeyondNRG’s announcement was met with a mix of sadness and thank yous from the community, plus well wishes for the future.
