Now Black Cola

Now Black Cola is an organic cola produced in Germany by Neumarkter Lammsbräu. The cola was launched in 2009 as part of the now Bio-Limonade series. It is produced in Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz, Bavaria, and forms part of the brewery’s non-alcoholic portfolio.

The Brewery Neumarkter Lammsbräu was founded in 1628 near Nuremberg and has been owned by the Ehrnsperger family since around 1800. From the 1980s onward, the brewery began producing beer using organic ingredients and in 1992 became the first brewery in Europe to be certified organic under the EU organic regulation. Since 1995, the entire product range has been certified organic.

The stated sugar content of Now Black Cola is 7.7 g per 100 ml. In addition to the regular version, a reduced-sugar Light variant is produced, sweetened with a combination of sugar and stevia. As a twist, the cola also contains guarana extract.

The now Bio-Limonade series comprises several additional flavors, including orange, ginger, and red berry. The archetypal German orange-cola variant is marketed under the name Now Orange Cola. The producer has invited consumer proposals for limited edition flavors on several occasions. This resulted in the release of Now Cherry Cola in 2023, which was produced as a temporary variant and was not retained as part of the permanent assortment.
