At CraftZero, beer is our most popular category. Here we answer the most common questions about non-alcoholic beer in Australia. From how it’s brewed to the best brands you can buy today...check it out.
What is non-alcoholic beer?
Non-alcoholic beer is brewed just like regular beer but with the alcohol removed or kept below 0.5% ABV.
Brewers use methods like vacuum distillation, reverse osmosis or controlled fermentation to reduce alcohol while retaining taste.
At CraftZero, we stock the largest range of non-alcoholic beers in Australia.
Does non-alcoholic beer taste like real beer?
Yes for the most part! Today’s non-alcoholic beers taste remarkably close to their alcoholic counterparts.
Modern brewing techniques preserve malt flavour, hop bitterness and mouthfeel. Many drinkers can’t tell the difference in blind tastings and you'll find many beer reviews state the taste is indistinguishable.
CraftZero offers bestsellers like Heaps Normal, Nort and Big Drop that deliver a true beer experience.
Which non-alcoholic beers taste best?
Customer favourites in Australia include Heaps Normal Quiet XPA, Guinness 0.0, Big Drop Pale Ale and Sobah’s native-flavoured brews.
At CraftZero, we carefully curate our range based on taste, popularity and reviews so you always get the beers that actually satisfy.
How is non-alcoholic beer made?
Non-alcoholic beer is made either by brewing with less fermentable sugar (so less alcohol forms) or by removing alcohol after brewing.
Techniques like vacuum distillation and reverse osmosis protect delicate hop aromas and malt character. That’s why today’s NA beers taste better than ever.

The easiest way to buy non-alcoholic beer is online at craftzero.com.au, with fast nationwide delivery.

Is non-alcoholic beer completely alcohol free?
Most non-alcoholic beers are under 0.5% ABV, but many are 0.0%.
This is similar to the alcohol found naturally in fruit juice or bread. CraftZero clearly labels every beer so you know whether it’s 0.0% or up to 0.5%.
Can you drink non-alcoholic beer while pregnant?
It depends — some are 0.0% ABV, while others may be up to 0.5%.
Always check the label and consult your doctor. CraftZero helps by clearly marking ABV on every product page so you can make informed choices.
How many calories are in non-alcoholic beer?
Most non-alcoholic beers contain approximately 20–40 calories per 100ml. Far fewer than regular beer.
For example, Heaps Normal Quiet XPA has only 63 calories per can. CraftZero lists calorie, carb and sugar details on every beer so you can compare easily.
