Understanding the Alcoholic Content of Alcohol-Free Beers: Is Your Drink Really Alcohol-Free?

2024-01-02 19:00:00

Over the past ten years, the non-alcoholic beer market has exploded. More bubbles, more aromas and more choice, alcohol-free beer is foamy. But are they really all alcohol-free?

If Kronenbourg has been a leader in the segment since 2015 with its Tourtel Twist, today, most large and small brewers offer their range without alcohol.

But be careful, the word “alcohol-free” does not necessarily mean a degree of alcohol equal to 0. Which is surprising… But it is legal.

Less than or equal to 1.2%

In fact, France, like many countries, authorizes the name “alcohol-free beer”, provided that it displays an alcohol level less than or equal to 1.2% by volume (decree no. 92-307 of March 31, 1992). It is therefore not uncommon to find beers labeled “without” with a very slight degree of alcohol.

So it’s up to you to be vigilant and check the labels.

Finally, note that there are also beers certified halal, that is to say with 0.0% alcohol.
