The Rise of Great Non-Alcoholic Beer

September 30, 2026 · 1 min read

Non-alcoholic beer used to be an afterthought. Not anymore: modern NA brewers use clever fermentation and dealcoholisation methods to keep hop aroma and body.

Why people are drinking it

  • Health and fitness goals
  • Driving, work lunches and “mindful drinking”
  • Simply wanting another beer without the effects

Tips for finding good NA beer

  • Hoppy styles (IPA, pale ale) hide the thinner body best.
  • Check freshness dates — NA beer is best young.
  • Serve it in proper glassware; it deserves it.
