What is non-alcoholic beer?

Non-alcoholic beer and low alcohol beer are broad descriptions for beer that contains 0.5% or less ABV (Alcohol by Volume). That's about the same amount of alcohol found in juice or kombucha. Zero-alcohol beer has become increasingly popular in the last few years and there are now numerous types available including sport beer, craft beer, gluten free beer and low calorie beer.

Is non-alcoholic beer healthy?

There is significant scientific evidence to show that alcohol is bad news for our health. Non-alcoholic beer allows us to enjoy the taste of beer without the negative effects of alcohol. On top of this, there are extra health benefits to drinking zero-alcohol beer. Sports beer, for example, is ideal for hydration post exercise. Some non-alcoholic beers also contain extra benefits like the Erdinger Wheat Beer which naturally contains b9 and b12 vitamins, folic acid and polyphenols, as well as isotonic properties, making it a great recovery drink. We also specialise in zero-alcohol low gluten beer, low calorie beer and low sugar beer.

How many calories are there in beer?

Calories from alcoholic drinks are often referred to as ‘hidden calories’ or ‘empty calories’. But the good news is that non-alcoholic beers are generally lower in carbohydrates and contain fewer calories, sometimes up to half compared to regular beer. Heineken is a great example, a 330ml bottle of full strength Heineken contains 139 calories, while the non-alcoholic Heineken beer calories are much lower at just 69 calories per 330ml bottle. At Sans Drinks, we follow the Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) guidelines when categorising the products we sell as ‘low sugar’ and ‘low alcohol’. This means that all of the beers in our low calorie beer section are 19 calories or under per 100ml and all of the beers in our low sugar beer section contain no more than 2.5g of sugar per 100ml. We have also added nutritional information to all of our beers to help you make informed shopping decisions.

Is non-alcoholic beer low in sugar?

The amount of sugar in non-alcoholic beer varies between brands. Our low sugar beer section is full of great tasting non-alcoholic beer that contains less than 2.5g of sugar per 100g. Our low sugar beer brands include Heaps Normal, Hawkesbury Brewing Co, Zero+, NORT and more.

Are non-alcoholic beers fattening?

Non-alcoholic beers contain fewer calories than regular beer, so they are a great start if you’re opting for a healthier lifestyle. It’s also worth noting that ‘beer calories’ are not just limited to the calories in the drink itself. Alcohol can cause us to crave salty snacks and compromise decision making skills which can sabotage healthy eating. If you’re concerned about making healthier drink choices, always check the nutritional facts of your non-alcoholic beer (provided here on the Sans Drinks website) so you’re armed with all the information you need to make the best choice for you.

What does non-alcoholic beer taste like?

The taste of non-alcoholic beer depends on several factors, including the brand, recipe, brewing expertise and process and the type of beer it is. Thanks to innovative brewing techniques, more often than note, non-alcoholic beer has the same aroma, taste and mouthfeel as traditional beer.

Where can I buy non-alcoholic beer in Australia?

You can buy a huge range of non-alcoholic beer right here at Sans Drinks — online or in-store. Traditional liquor stores carry a limited range non-alcoholic beer options as their expertise is very much in alcoholic beers. A 2020 study commissioned by Sans Drinks found that 65% of people who are trying to cut back on their alcohol consumption would prefer to avoid the temptation that bottle shops present. You may also see some zero-alcohol beer in your local supermarket but their range tend to be limited to a couple of major labels only. This is the problem we set out to solve when we launched Sans Drinks — making it easy for you to find a large range of non-alcoholic beers and other 0% drink options all in the one place.

IPA should be served chilled, around 8 degrees celsius.

IPA can be enjoyed on its own or with food and pairs perfectly with light dishes such as salads, grills or anything vegan.
