Best non-alcoholic beers to try

Krombacher Weizen Wheat Beer, £11.99/6, The Dry Drinker

One for fans of German wheat beers, this refreshing o.5%ABV brew has that classic full-bodied, fruity wheat character.

Lucky Saint 0.5% Unfiltered Lager, £21.95/12, Beer Hunter

A crisp pilsner-style lager with a tiny hint of malt which rounds it off nicely. We love the chunky retro glass bottle as well. Serve chilled with a burger.

Mikkeller Drink'in the Sun, £18.64/8, Dry Drinker

This 0.3%-ABV American-style wheat ale is a bright, sunshiny beer with gentle hoppiness and a vibrant grapefruit and peach character. Try drinking with a slice of orange.

Big Drop Pale Ale, £2.49/330ml, Beer Hawk

Dry-hopped, lemony and piney, and really refreshing, this is a classic West Coast pale ale (0.5% ABV) that is very close to the real thing.

Freestar 0.0% Alcohol Free Beer, £2/330ml, Ocado

This lager-style beer is fresh and citrussy with a little hint of bitterness on the finish. The production process is also environmentally friendly, using 80% less water and creating 70% less waste than the industry standard. Serve super-chilled with a bowl of spicy chilli or some tacos.

BrewDog Nanny State, £13.92/8, Dry Drinker

A dependable drink when you are out (most bars stock it). At 0.5% ABV it packs in all the citrussy, piney flavours you’d expect from a US-style hoppy ale.

Freeride, £2/330ml, Magic Rock

Cult Huddersfield brewers Magic Rock know how to punch up the flavours. This vegan tropical pale ale has plenty of refreshing mango and passionfruit with a little hoppy bite. At 0.5% it’s perfect for all day summer drinking.

Small Beer Dark Lager, £2.15/330ml, Ocado

A super-refreshing but complex 1% ABV beer. Pours dark like a stout but drinks really lightly with lovely background notes of coffee and chocolate.

Days Pale Ale, £25/12, Days Brewing

We were impressed with this zero-alcohol vegan pale ale from Scottish booze-free brewery Days. Expect tropical notes and a pleasingly rounded texture and full body. Try their lager too, which is crisp and chuggable without being thin and watery.

Lowlander 0.00% Wit Beer, £15.92/8, Dry Drinker

Brewed with discarded orange and lemon peels from the bar industry, this is a standout wit (flavoured wheat) beer. Zesty, refreshing and complex it’s an incredible beer whether you are Dry Janning or not!

Heineken 0.0, £11.95/12, Beer Hunter

This won’t win any awards for complexity but the classic lager flavour will definitely hit the spot if you are faking it in Dry Jan. Perfect with a curry and the sugar level is nice and low. A chugger.
