Can I Have Non-Alcoholic Beers On Keto?
What No-Alcohol Beers Can I Have on a Keto Diet?
Embarking on a keto diet but still fancy a cold one? You're not alone. Many keto enthusiasts are on the hunt for no-alcohol beers that won't kick them out of ketosis. Let's dive into the world of keto-friendly non-alcoholic brews.
Why Regular Beer Is a No-Go on Keto
Before we get to the good stuff, let's address the elephant in the room: regular beer.

But fear not, there are options that won't sabotage your low-carb lifestyle.
What to Look for in Keto-Friendly No-Alcohol Beers
When scouting for keto-compatible non-alcoholic beers, keep these points in mind:

FAQs
Can I drink no-alcohol beer every day on keto?
Yes, if you choose low-carb options like IMPOSSIBREW® and factor them into your daily carb allowance. Moderation is key.
Will 0.5% ABV beers affect my ketosis?
No, 0.5% ABV is considered trace alcohol. It's effectively zero, as everyday foods like ripe bananas, orange juice, and burger rolls often contain more alcohol.
Are there any benefits to drinking no-alcohol beers on keto?
Yes! They can help you stay hydrated, provide a social drinking alternative, and in the case of IMPOSSIBREW®, offer a relaxing effect without the downsides of alcohol.

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.
