Not only does excessive alcohol have physical and mental side affects, but alcoholic beer also has a high number of calories and carbohydrates. So many people are taking a pause from alcohol this month for health reasons, that it is being recognized as Dry January.
Yes! Non alcoholic beer, more specifically, non alcoholic craft beer, does exist! It might be elusive on the shelves of your local liquor store, but rest assured, all of the breweries on this list have online stores. We found non alcoholic IPAs, stouts, lagers, pilsners, ales and more, all brewed in the USA.
What does ‘non alcoholic' on the label mean?
Just because a beer has ‘non alcoholic' on the label, it does not mean that it is truly alcohol free. In order for beer to have the ‘non alcoholic' label, the brew has to have less than .5% alcohol by volume (ABV). In comparison, popular craft beer by Sierra Nevada (brewed in California and North Carolina) can have 7.5% ABV, so the alcohol content is significantly less. All of the craft beers our list have that less than .5% alcohol content except for one, which has zero alcohol.
