Why Non-Alcoholic Beer Is Booming in Australia

Non-alcoholic beer is typically produced one of two ways: brewing normally and then removing the alcohol afterward through vacuum distillation or reverse osmosis, or controlling fermentation from the start so it never produces significant alcohol in the first place. Both methods have improved dramatically over the last decade, which is a big part of why the category tastes so much better than it did even ten years ago.

In Australia, non-alcoholic beer (legally capped at 0.5% ABV to carry that label) has grown rapidly alongside the broader “mindful drinking” movement, driven by younger drinkers moderating alcohol intake without giving up the social ritual and flavour of a beer.

Modern brewers have also gotten much better at compensating for the body and mouthfeel that alcohol normally provides, using specialty malts, later hop additions, and careful yeast selection to build back the fullness that early non-alcoholic beers famously lacked.

When shopping non-alcoholic, look for a recent production date — the category is improving quickly, and beers made even two or three years ago often taste noticeably thinner than current releases from the same brewery.
