Alcohol-Free And Non-Alcoholic Lagers

If you like lager then you’re spoilt for choice.

Lagers were the first alcohol-free beers to be produced in the UK and they go back to the 1970s.

They were one of the easiest non-alcoholic drinks to make but back in the day they were low on flavour and were seldom taken seriously by the drinks industry.

While Britain’s sober minority and the unlucky drivers were miserably sipping the bland and slightly metallic tasting lager, in continental Europe, where lagers first became popular, brewers were already working on refining the craft of creating a booze free version of the popular pilsner.

During the ensuing decades the take up remained slow in the UK but other countries, such as Germany and Spain, were continuing to produce superior alternatives as social attitudes hardened against drink-driving and liquid-lunch lifestyles.

When we launched in 2006 as the uk’s first online specialists in alcohol-free alternatives we introduced a bevy of bevvies from across Europe.

It’s only in the last five years as researchers uncovered a growing trend towards sobriety that brewers sat up to take notice.

Now there is a vast range of lagers to choose from for those who don’t want a fuzzy head or midriff bulge.

There are some excellent craft lagers now produced by British brewers such as Infinite Session, Big Drop and Lucky Saint. These add to the mouth-watering range of established drinks including the popular Portuguese beers Cheers, Super Bock and Sagres, a range of classic German beers such as Clausthaler, Krombacher and Veltins and the Belgian Pilsner Jever.

A cool lager that’s free from alcohol is ideal to refresh and rehydrate after a workout, when you’ve built up a thirst doing manual work, while enjoying outdoor activities or while relaxing with friends.
