March 2026 Laurens D’Hoore — Founder Partnership

We’ve just signed our biggest sports partnership to date. Thrive is now the official functional beer partner of Padel Vlaanderen. You’ll start seeing us in over 150 padel clubs across Belgium.

It’s a big moment.

Not because of the scale but because of what it represents.

From the beginning we’ve been selective about where Thrive shows up. No logo-for-hire deals. No forgotten fridges. If we’re in a space it has to feel right. It has to belong.

Padel is exactly that kind of place.

It’s social. Competitive. Slightly obsessive in the best way. Matches turn into drinks and drinks turn into conversations. Before you know it the whole afternoon has disappeared at the club.

It’s not just about the sport. It’s about everything around it.

That’s where Thrive fits in.

Thrive is finally a beer that’s actually built for the court.

We make three beers. Each one earns its place.

Players at a padel club in Belgium with Thrive beers


For the hours in-between
PLAY
Light, crisp and refreshing. Keeps you in the flow instead of slowing you down.
For after the final point
PEAK
10g protein. Supports your recovery. You still get the reward.
For later that evening
UNWIND
Magnesium. Helps you settle without taking away the ritual.

PLAY: For the hours in-between

This is the one before you play or while you’re waiting for your court. It’s light, crisp and refreshing. It keeps you in the flow instead of slowing you down.

It contains vitamins B and D which support energy metabolism and normal muscle function. You don’t feel that in a heavy or functional way. It still feels like a proper beer.

Think of it as the social warm-up.

PEAK: For after the final point

Everyone knows this moment. The match is done. The last rally gets replayed five different ways. Someone opens a cold drink.

That’s where PEAK comes in.

It’s a real beer with 10g of protein. So instead of undoing your effort it supports your recovery. You still get the reward. You just don’t pay for it later.

It feels earned. That’s the point.

UNWIND: For later that evening

Hours later your body has slowed down but your mind is still on that one shot you almost landed.

UNWIND is for that moment.

It contains magnesium which supports normal muscle function and relaxation. It helps you settle without taking away the ritual.

It’s a nightcap that doesn’t make tomorrow harder.


Where to Find Thrive

From this week Thrive is available in over 150 padel clubs across Belgium through our partnership with Padel Vlaanderen.

Next time you’re at the club take a look in the fridge. We’re probably already there.

If you run a club and you’re not stocked yet we should change that. You can reach us through our contact page and we’ll sort it out quickly.

You can also order the full range online across Belgium, the Netherlands and France at thrivebeer.com.

Cheers,

P.S. If your club fridge still looks like it’s powered by sugar and regret, feel free to introduce us.
