The history of non-alcoholic beer in America stretches back further than you might imagine. In 1916, Anheuser-Busch launched Bevo, an NA beer that was quite successful for a few years. Fast forward to the 1970s, when brands like O'Douls (another Anheuser-Busch product) and Clausthaler arrived on the scene. Both of those non-boozy brews are still around, but, in recent years, they've been joined by so many others.
With something for everyone on the market, non-alcoholic beer has also become wildly popular. While the overall sales of alcohol worldwide decreased by 1%, the consumption of non-alcoholic beer grew 9% worldwide in 2024, according to IWSR, the global leader in alcohol data and insights. That’s a whole lot of beer being consumed that won’t leave you with a buzz.

10 Best Non-Alcoholic Beers You Need To Try, According to Experts
1. Guinness 0
Guiness
“Guinness 0 proves you can still enjoy a proper pint without the hangover. It’s rich, velvety, and delivers that satisfying 'ahh' moment—basically, all reward and no regret. It’s my go-to when I want the comfort of a pint and the clarity of a Monday morning,” says Tantai “Tan” Khantachavana, the head bartender at BKK New York.
2. Stella Artois 0.0
Walmart
“I drink this one all the time,” she says. “I think it is mighty fine. It has some maltiness in there, but it’s super crisp and light and easy to drink.”
3. FLVR! American Gold
FLVR
“The American Gold is a clean, classic-style lager that hits all the right notes. It's full-bodied with a smooth malt backbone and a subtle touch of hops to keep things balanced," says Mehrnush Saadat, the shop’s founder. "There’s a satisfying burst of fresh grain up front, followed by a crisp, slightly tangy finish that adds some brightness without overwhelming the palate. It’s exceptionally drinkable and well-crafted for a non-alcoholic brew.”
4. BERO Edge Hill Hazy IPA
BERO
The entire portfolio is popular among bartenders, including Juliette Saputo, the bar manager for Broken Shaker Miami and Ray's Hometown Bar Miami. “I think it’s awesome that they have so many options with different styles of beer so that everyone can feel included even when you aren’t imbibing,” she says.

5. Athletic Brewing Atlética

“I love that their product is more than just hopped sparkling water, it really gives you the heft of a beer,” he says. “Atlética, their Mexican-Style Copper, is my favorite with its refreshing floral and malty zip.”
6. Athletic Brewing Run Wild
Athletic
Another popular pour from Athletic Brewing is Run Wild, an IPA-style drink with a blend of five Northwest hops offering an approachable bitterness. “I’m no longer much of an IPA drinker, but I find Run Wild to be an incredibly full-flavored non-alcoholic beer that, to me, almost drinks more like a heady pilsner,” Brian Callahan, the owner and beverage director at Boston’s Darling, says. “You could easily put it in front of me blind and I probably wouldn’t be able to guess it was NA.”
7. Heaps Normal Half Day Hazy
The Zero Proof
We'll add that we think the can design is also super charming, which is always a bonus.

9. Threes Brewing Plot Twist
Threes Brewing
The New York City-based brewery Threes Brewing recently released hop water, a sparkling water infused with guava and Galaxy Hops. “Plot Twist fills a couple of gaps in our lineup that we're excited about. It's both non-alcoholic and gluten-free, which turns out to be harder to find than you'd think,” says head brewer Josh Penney. “Hop waters have gotten surprisingly good lately. They work well for people taking a break from drinking, or just as a palate cleanser between beers. Sometimes you want the flavor without all the commitment.”
