What IMPOSSIBREW drinkers say

★★★★★

I love the lager

I love the lager, you would not know any difference from regular alcoholic lager, tastes amazing. Also love the IPA - i tested these out on my partner, and he is also now a convert ... so nice to relax and enjoy a cool beer - and no hangover.

Tried the mixed box first

Tried the mixed box first, really enjoyed the feeling of liking a low alcohol beer. Felt relaxed at the end of the evening and great in the morning. Tried the triple hop next, excellent flavour. Always serve Really cold, it does enhance the flavour.

How we ranked them

We scored each beer on taste awards, Trustpilot rating and review volume, price per 100ml on its cheapest standard pack, calories per 100ml, and what is in the can. Price is per 100ml because cans range from 330ml to 440ml, so a per-can price flatters the smaller can. Only brands with over 1,000 Trustpilot reviews are ranked on Trustpilot.

Best non-alcoholic lager

No alcohol beer: is non-alcoholic beer really alcohol-free?

In England, government labelling guidance says "alcohol free" means no more than 0.05% ABV, "de-alcoholised" no more than 0.5% and "low alcohol" no more than 1.2%. Most craft alcohol-free beers are 0.5%, the standard in much of Europe, and the government has committed to consult on raising the "alcohol free" limit to 0.5%.

Does non-alcoholic beer have fewer calories?

Usually far fewer, because alcohol itself carries calories. Guinness Draught has 35 kcal per 100ml and Guinness 0.0 has 17. Most beers on this page sit between 10 and 21 kcal per 100ml.

Best non-alcoholic beer in the UK
