About non-alcoholic beers

Non-alcoholic beer, also known as alcohol-free beer, near beer, or small beer, is any brew that has less than 0.5% alcohol by volume (ABV). Though there is a minute amount of alcohol in this type of beverage, it's not enough to have any kind of impact on the drinker. You can find a comparable amount of alcohol in fresh-squeezed orange juice or an overripe banana.

How are non-alcoholic beers made?

In the early stages, non-alcoholic beer is produced in the same way as alcoholic beer. Alcohol's boiling point is lower than water's, so many brewers simply allow the alcohol to evaporate by heating the beer before bottling.

Brewers can also remove the alcohol from beer through a process known as reverse osmosis. To achieve this, the brewer passes the beer through a filter that distills the alcohol from the brew. The water and acids that remain are added back to a blend of sugars and flavor compounds post-filtering. Brewers must use forced carbonation to add carbon dioxide back to the brew after reverse osmosis.

Though a non-alcoholic beer can contain some alcohol, not all do. Some non-alcoholic beers are entirely free of alcohol. You can check the labeling for more details on exactly what's in your drink.

Who should choose a non-alcoholic beer?

Non-alcoholic beer is an excellent choice for anyone who enjoys the flavor of beer and wants to avoid the alcohol or calories in a traditional brew. This makes a non-alcoholic beer a handy choice for those who:
  • Are pregnant.
  • Want to try the taste of beer before reaching the legal drinking age.
  • Do not consume alcohol.
  • Want to avoid the potential for a hangover.
  • Are concerned about dehydration.
  • Want to consume fewer calories.
  • Would like to participate in typical beer-drinking occasions without drinking alcohol.
