Non-alcoholic beer: taste, calories, and brand comparison
Non-alcoholic beer has made great strides: it is no longer a bland compromise, but a flavorful choice for those who want to limit alcohol without giving up aromatic notes.
What is non-alcoholic beer?
A beer crafted to have a very low alcohol content (0.0–0.5% vol.). It is produced like a traditional beer and then dealcoholized or stopped before alcohol forms in significant amounts. The result varies widely: from more neutral versions to those rich in aroma, fruity or bitter like their alcoholic counterparts.
Does non-alcoholic beer make you gain weight?
It contains calories from malt, sugars, and carbohydrates, but fewer than alcoholic beers (alcohol is calorie-dense). Many non-alcoholic beers range between 15 and 70 kcal per 100 ml. Check the label and choose low-sugar versions if calorie control is your goal.
Brand comparison: Clausthaler, Moretti, Beck's
- Clausthaler — a historic reference, balanced profile similar to a traditional lager.
- Moretti non-alcoholic — maltier and sweeter, close to the taste of classic Moretti.
- Beck's non-alcoholic — drier and hoppier, for those who prefer sharp bitterness.
- Craft non-alcoholic beers — much more complex profiles: fruity, spicy, citrusy. Often higher quality than industrial versions.
