Low & No Alcohol Beer

Exploring the World of Alcohol-Free Beer: A Refreshing Option

When it comes to beer, the term 'alcohol-free' can mean different things depending on your location. In the UK, the definitions hinge on the alcohol content and the brewing process employed.

According to the Low Alcohol Guidance Descriptors, released by the Department of Health and Social Care in December 2018, beers fall under categories like 'low-alcohol,' 'alcohol-free,' 'non-alcoholic,' and 'de-alcoholized beer.

A 'low-alcohol' beer boasts an ABV (alcoholic strength by volume) of 1.2% or below, with the maximum ABV indicated on the label.

Alcohol-free beer strictly applies to brews from which alcohol has been extracted, containing no more than 0.05% ABV. The label should display the alcohol content or state "contains no alcohol."

A de-alcoholized beer is brewed similarly to traditional beer but then undergoes a process to remove alcohol. Natural fermentation initially converts sugars into alcohol, which is then extracted. De-alcoholized beers must not exceed 0.5% ABV.

Although some people use the term 'non-alcoholic beer,' it's important to note that it's not legally accurate for describing a beer without alcohol. The term 'non-alcoholic' should not be combined with a name commonly associated with alcoholic drink.

Crafting Alcohol-Free Beer: Brewing with Precision

The process of crafting alcohol-free beer mirrors that of regular beer. Core ingredients include water, malt, hops, and yeast. Alcohol can be extracted post-brewing, or beer can be brewed with minimal alcohol content. Methods like 78.5°C evaporation or membrane filtration reduce alcohol content. Fruity citrus flavors are then added to mimic traditional beer taste, resulting in high-quality de-alcoholized options.
