How Much Sugar Does Alcohol Free Beer Have?
Alcohol-free beers have become a popular alternative for those looking to enjoy the taste of beer without the effects of alcohol, but many consumers are unaware of the varying sugar content in these beverages. While some alcohol-free beers contain minimal sugar, others can have surprisingly high levels, making it essential to check nutritional information before consumption, especially for individuals with dietary restrictions or health concerns. This page will explore the hidden sugars in UK alcohol-free beers and provide a comprehensive list to help you make informed choices.
Hidden Sugars in Popular UK Alcohol-Free Beers
Many popular UK alcohol-free beers contain hidden sugars that can impact dietary choices. For instance, a study revealed that some alcoholic drinks, including certain alcohol-free options, have significant sugar content, which is often not disclosed on labels.
Comparing Sugar Content in Alcohol-Free Beers
When comparing the sugar content in alcohol-free beers, it's evident that there is a wide range. For example, Heineken 0.0 contains 1.3g of sugar per 100ml, while IMPOSSIBREW® has only 0.1g per 100ml, making it a much lower-sugar option. On the higher end, Peroni 0.0 has 3g of sugar per 100ml, which is significantly more than other brands. These variations highlight the importance of checking nutritional labels to make informed choices, especially for those monitoring their sugar intake.

IMPOSSIBREW stands out as the best overall option for those looking to reduce their sugar intake while enjoying alcohol-free beer.

How is 0.5% ABV alcohol-free?
Yes, we know it's confusing. Isn't 0.5% ABV still alcoholic? Officially, 0.5% ABV is classified as Dealcoholised.
- In fact, most things we consume daily have more than 0.5% ABV
- Burger Rolls - 1.2% ABV
- Orange Juice - 0.5% ABV
- Ripe Banana - 0.5% ABV
After more than 2 years of research, we've found that the 0.5% ABV from our natural brewing process significantly increases both flavour and mouthfeel - without spiking your blood alcohol level (BAC).
Is it really gluten-free?
Yes, IMPOSSIBREW® Enhanced Lager is gluten-free. Even though it contains wheat and barley, our beers have been third-party tested to contain less than 10 parts per million (PPM) of gluten, which meets the criteria to be listed as, and labeled gluten-free.
Does it have alcohol tax?
No. While it is true that our beers don't contain alcohol, and thus don't incur UK alcohol duty, we'd like to highlight some factors here that might be helpful in reflecting the value we provide.
- One-to-One Brewing Process: At IMPOSSIBREW, we take pride in our unique brewing techniques. Unlike other non-alcoholic beers, our products are never diluted, watered-down, or have their alcohol content removed - and some even dilute their alcoholic beers up to 5x. This means that our brewing process involves the same level of craftsmanship, time, and resources as a traditional craft beer, resulting in comparable production costs.
- Effective Nootropics: In our commitment to creating the most relaxing non-alcoholic beers, we utilise only the highest quality nootropics as our active ingredients, in safe and effectives dosages. At current alcohol tax rates for a 5% ABV beer, the cost of our nootropics more than double that. Instead of contributing the amounts as tax, why not have it contribute to the product quality itself?
- Small Scale Brewing: Currently, we operate on a smaller scale, which makes us less competitive than large, commercial brewers (often +10,000x our brewing size). As a growing business, we are passionate about our mission to create unique, high-quality non-alcoholic experiences, and we truly appreciate your support. As we continue to grow and expand our production capabilities, we look forward to passing on even more savings to our valued community!
At IMPOSSIBREW, we prioritise offering our customers an enhanced, premium, non-alcoholic beer experience by combining innovative brewing techniques, quality active nootropic ingredients, and award-winning taste. While our pricing may differ from other non-alcoholic competitors, we believe that the value proposition and unique experience our beers provide are well worth it.
At the end of the day, tasting is believing. So give it a try and let us know what you think - risk-free with our IMPOSSIBREW® Guarantee.
