What Is a Non-Alcoholic Lager?
A non-alcoholic lager is a beer brewed to contain less than 0.5% alcohol by volume (ABV) while maintaining the crisp, refreshing qualities typical of the lager style.
Lagers are traditionally brewed at cooler temperatures and fermented slowly, which creates their clean flavor profile and smooth finish. In the alcohol-free beer world, many breweries focus on lagers because their balanced malt and hop character can translate well even after alcohol is removed or limited.
Modern NA lagers range from light, easy-drinking pilsners to fuller-bodied craft lagers designed to mimic traditional beer as closely as possible.
