Non-alcoholic beer is an increasingly popular choice, highly appreciated by new generations, from Millennials to Gen Z, who see non-alcoholic options as a more conscious and healthier choice.
But what exactly is meant by "non-alcoholic beer"? According to Italian regulations, a beer can be defined as non-alcoholic if its alcohol content does not exceed 1.2% alcohol by volume. This percentage allows beers to maintain their typical flavor and aroma, without the potentially negative effects of alcohol.
And without any compromise in terms of taste or variety!
Drinking non-alcoholic: a popular and never boring choice
Drinking non-alcoholic does not mean settling for bland or characterless drinks; on the contrary: the range of non-alcoholic beers is varied and surprisingly rich in styles, so much so that today it is possible to find non-alcoholic versions of almost every type of beer.
From the classic Lager and Pale Ale to the fragrant APA, IPA, and NEIPA, to the fresher and lighter Weiss and Blanche, the selection is wide and suits every taste.
At Maltese you will find a selection of the best non-alcoholic beers, with options ranging from the hoppier and more aromatic to the softer and easy-drinking. Each non-alcoholic beer has its own character and can be a great companion for a light aperitif or a carefree meal.
Craft breweries making a difference with their high-quality non-alcoholic beers
Some breweries are standing out for the high quality of their non-alcoholic beers, creating true gems for enthusiasts of the category.
Among these, Freedl, with its non-alcoholic Pale Ales, offers a remarkable variety of fresh and characterful beers that have nothing to envy to their alcoholic versions.
Baladin, on the other hand, offers its "Botanic" series, which includes non-alcoholic IPA, Blanche, and Blond with a unique and intriguing flavor, thanks to the addition of spices, roots, and flowers.
For those who can't decide, Maltese has created a non-alcoholic beer tasting box of 12 cans, the perfect option to discover many styles, from lighter Lager to hoppier craft beers, all without alcohol.
