Collect 'Em All

At Chu Lo, we celebrate contemporary and retro gaming of all stripes and its huge influence on popular culture to inspire and power our creativity and enhance your gaming experience.

How better to showcase gamer culture than making Chu Lo drink cans skins for talented graphic artists the world over?

We’ve done exactly that… our first exciting series of Chu Lo are brilliantly rendered with original artwork, making these first issues the tastiest, must-have special items for collectors and drinkers alike.

Fuel for Gamers

Chu Lo is a brand new range of premium soft drinks expertly crafted for gamers with a thirst for everything out of the ordinary.

Inspired by Japan’s hugely popular alcoholic beverage, Chūhai, and conceived in Manchester UK, Chu Lo fuses the same freshly squeezed fruit juice and delicious flavours into a low sugar, alcohol-free fuel for gamers with unique and tantalising sour fizz kick.

Tastes great and really peps you up, with a subtle sour kick without the sugar. Drink up and chill!

Keep your coffee, your artificially flavoured colas, you boba tea and give me Chu-Lo drinks all day long!
