Reduced Alcohol
Reduced Alcohol
682 beers | 2.096 Avg ScoreThis category covers just about any style of beer that is produced in the Non-Alcoholic (NA) range of < 0.5% ABV or in the low alcohol range of 0.5 to about 3.0% ABV. The NA beers are typical in the North American market, while the latter are common in Europe, particularly for summer time and physical activities. While the reduced alcohol beers should resemble the underlying style they are "brewed" in, they will undoubtedly have less aroma, flavor, and body, due to the absence or reduced levels of alcohol. The producers of these reduced alcohol beers either 1) remove the alcohol from a fully brewed beer, or 2) control the levels of alcohol produced in the brewing process itself by inhibiting normal fermentation.
