BrewDog Non-Alcoholic Beer

Looking to learn more about BrewDog’s non-alcoholic beers? You’re in the right place. Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions about flavour, brewing methods and alcohol content — everything you need to know to be able to choose the right BrewDog AF beer for you.

 

What is BrewDog Non-Alcoholic Beer?

BrewDog’s non-alcoholic beers are full-flavoured craft beers brewed with the same base ingredients (water, barley, hops, yeast) as traditional beers but the alcohol is removed, resulting in beers with less than 0.5% ABV. 

These beers are designed to deliver the same hop bitterness, malt body, and aroma you expect from regular craft beer, just without the next day regrets!

What flavours does BrewDog Non-Alc have to offer?

Here at Craftzero, we stock the complete BrewDog alcohol-free range, so no matter your taste, there's a non-alcoholic BrewDog flavour to match your palate. Explore the full lineup below to find your perfect pick:

• Cerveza - Crisp, bold and refreshingly light, BrewDog’s Cerveza Especial AF is an alcohol-free cerveza brewed with corn for extra snap and a clean, ultra-smooth finish. At just 0.5% ABV, it delivers sun-soaked, beachy refreshment that transports you from the Gold Coast straight to the shores of Mexico.
• Nanny State - Low Carb IPA packs the punch of a full-flavoured craft beer, combining specialty malts and North American hops for a bold, bitter profile with an impressive 45 IBU. It’s a perfectly balanced, flavour-forward option for anyone wanting a healthier, alcohol-free IPA without compromising depth or character.
• Punk AF - Full-flavoured, non-alcoholic Pale Ale that delivers all the tropical fruit brightness, pine notes and malt depth of the original Punk IPA, just without the alcohol.

How does BrewDog make their non-alcoholic beer?

BrewDog begins brewing non-alcoholic beers the same way as regular beers, by mashing grains, boiling and fermentation. 
To keep alcohol levels below 0.5% while preserving flavour, they use techniques such as micro-fermentation (special yeast or limited fermentable sugars) or de-alcoholisation (removing alcohol after full brewing). 
This ensures the beer retains its body, hop profile, and complexity rather than being watered down.

 

Does BrewDog zero-alc beer taste like real beer?

Yes, most modern non-alcoholic beers, including BrewDog’s, taste very similar to traditional beers. Many drinkers find the aroma, bitterness, malt richness, and mouthfeel nearly indistinguishable from alcoholic brews.
BrewDog themselves emphasise “hard-core beer, remade without the alcohol”. No shortcuts, no compromise, just full flavour.

Can you cook with BrewDog non-alcoholic beer?

Absolutely! BrewDog AF beers work brilliantly in marinades, stews, beer breads, batters, and sauces, giving you all the complex malt and hop flavours without the alcohol burning off during cooking.

 

Is BrewDog's "alcohol-free" beer truly alcohol-free?

BrewDog’s non-alcoholic beers are classified as non-alcoholic because they contain very low alcohol (less than 0.5% ABV). A level at which they are considered non-alcoholic and generally non-intoxicating. 
However, some people seeking 0.0% alcohol may prefer beers made with other methods that avoid alcohol production altogether. At Craftzero, we have a variety of 0.0% ABV beers to choose from. 

Are BrewDog non-alc beers suitable for people avoiding alcohol? (e.g. pregnancy, alcohol sensitivity, etc?) 

BrewDog non-alcoholic beers are a low-alcohol alternative (under 0.5% ABV), but they are not guaranteed to be 0.00%. For those who must avoid alcohol entirely, for health, pregnancy, or recovery reasons, it’s important to check the label carefully or choose beers specifically labelled as 0.0% ABV or made with non-fermenting yeast.
Non-alcoholic beer is defined broadly, and while it’s much lower in alcohol than regular beer, it may still contain trace amounts.

 

Why is BrewDog non-alcoholic beer more expensive than regular, full-strength beer?

Producing quality non-alcoholic beer, especially craft beer, involves extra steps and sometimes specialised equipment (like vacuum distillation or reverse osmosis) or special yeast, which increases production costs. 

Unlike large-scale lagers, many non-alcoholic beers are brewed in smaller batches, which also reduces economies of scale and contributes to higher prices.

Is BrewDog zero-alcohol healthier than regular beer?

Non-alcoholic beer offers some benefits over standard beer, with much lower alcohol content, fewer calories, and often lower carbs, making it a potentially better fit for those reducing alcohol intake, watching calories, or wanting to avoid hangovers.
