As a parkour athlete, I carry this feeling of Freedom in every movement. This makes the Collaboration with Needle Gina brand that, like me, has its roots in the Black Forest. Two paths from the same homeland, linked by passion, character and the courage to go your own way.
I also particularly appreciate the non-alcoholic variant. It is ideal for me, especially during competition times, because I can also enjoy the Flavor and can share the pleasure, consciously and without to the shared experience to do without.
When the roots are deep in the Black Forest and at the same time the view extends beyond urban borders, something special is created: the collaboration between Needle Gin and Parkour athlete Andreas "Andy" Haug.
Both stand for the same attitude to life: A closeness to nature, freedom and the desire to break new ground.
While Needle Gin brings the Black Forest into the bottle with hand-picked spruce needles and regional botanicals, Andy brings exactly this feeling into motion. Over walls, through cities and back into nature.
Andreas 'Andy' Haug, 35, lives in Lauf in the Black Forest and is one of Germany's most influential parkour athletes. As a member of the national team, he represents Germany internationally, including at the 2024 World Championships in Japan. In 2017, he was the first German participant in international parkour world cups and spent several years deepening his passion in Thailand and Mexico. In addition to his sporting career, he is a father of two and the initiator of the Black Forest Parkour Cup.
