What is the best non alcoholic beer?

by James Gibson November 11, 2021

Whether around the bbq, in the pub, or just kicking back on the sofa, Kiwis love a good beer. From pale ale to lager, and IPA to stout, we are a nation of beer lovers, and when it comes to non-alcoholic versions our tastes are just as demanding.

Non-alcoholic beers are made in four different ways dealcoholisation, dilution, limited fermentation and no fermentation, The majority of our favourites use the limited fermentation process, which uses a special yeast that stops the fermentation process earlier to keep the beer under 0.5%.

Sales of non-alcoholic beer are on the rise across the nation with no signs of slowing down. The IWSR forecasts that the non-alcoholic and low alcohol drinks sales will grow 16% by 2024, that’s a lot of Kiwis moderating their drinking to include more non-alcoholic drinks. As demand increases, more and more non-alcoholic beer options are becoming available from an array of producers, both domestically and internationally.

With all these different non-alcoholic beers available it’s hard to know where to start. As the experts in non-alcoholic, our team at the Brunswick Aces have put their palates to the test and sampled everything available to bring you the best run down of non-alcoholic beers, as well as a great range of tasting packs so you can try everything for yourself.
