Non-Alcoholic Beer: When Degree Doesn't Matter

• Arguments for

Many beer fans believe that all non-alcoholic beers are a mockery of real beer. They are quite understandable — until recently, non-alcoholic beer could be bought mainly in mass-market, and its taste left much to be desired. But times are changing, and today more and more producers are creating "nulivka" which can compete with conventional beer in terms of taste. And what other advantages do non-alcoholic beers have?

Arguments for

The reason for the increasing popularity of non-degree beer is the worldwide fashion for a healthy lifestyle. More and more people are choosing to eat right, get into sports and, of course, practice abstinence from alcohol. Here is the desire of most people to be slim: non-alcoholic beer is rarely drunk in large quantities and eaten with fatty foods, most often it is consumed for the atmosphere, which means that there is less risk of getting extra pounds after a meal. And for drivers non-alcoholic beer has become a salvation — it is not necessary to deny yourself a pleasant evening with friends, even if you get to the meeting place by car.

Production of non-alcoholic beer today is carried out in three ways. The first is stopped fermentation, when the drink is brewed with the addition of special yeast or at low temperatures. This is the most convenient and cheapest method of production, which is chosen by most manufacturers. The second is de-alcoholization, which is the process of extracting alcohol with special equipment. This method is considered the simplest, but the most expensive, plus it is characterized by low speed of making drinks. Finally, the third is dialysis, which allows the alcohol to be removed from the finished product using hollow membranes.

Brewers who make beer using the stopped fermentation method save a lot of money compared to conventional producers. In addition, they do not need to affix excise stamps to the product, which further reduces costs. Not surprisingly, more and more large producers and private companies support the "useful" trend by adding non-alcoholic varieties to their range.

Such breweries as Flying Dutchman, Palm and others have already introduced their own beer without degrees. And all of them are sure that even those who were indifferent to non-alcoholic beer will appreciate the taste and flavor of "zero-degree" beer. You can choose a traditional light or dark variety, or an analogue of the Belgian cherry Kriek, enjoy a non-alcoholic beer with notes of caramel or banana — a lot of options. And most importantly — without harm to health and reputation.
