German Non-Alcoholic Beer

German non-alcoholic beer from Krombacher, Bitburger, Erdinger and Clausthaler: crisp pilsners, golden lagers and creamy wheat beer, alcohol-free.

German non-alcoholic beer is the benchmark for alcohol-free brewing: crisp pilsners, smooth lagers and creamy wheat beers from the breweries that made German beer famous, shipped across Canada by Upside Drinks.

German beer styles, without the alcohol

• Pilsner: dry, bitter and refreshing. Try Krombacher Pils 0.0% or Bitburger 0.0% Pils.
• Helles and lager: golden, malty and easy to drink, like Clausthaler Original, one of the first non-alcoholic beers brewed in Germany.
• Hefeweizen (wheat beer): cloudy, with banana and clove notes. Erdinger Alkoholfrei from Bavaria is a favourite after sports.
• Bock: stronger and darker in its classic version. Non-alcoholic bocks are rare; we add them when we can find them.

Many German breweries still follow the spirit of the Reinheitsgebot, the 1516 beer purity law: water, malt, hops and yeast. That is why their alcohol-free versions taste so close to the real thing.
