OUR TOP NON-ALCOHOLIC BEERS LIST
Libra Non Alcoholic Craft Beer
All of the non alcoholic craft beer styles from this small Prince Edward Island Canadian brewery are home runs. Our favourite is the Hazy IPA, but their IPA and pilsner are also incredible and on-par with any premium craft beer. The taste is indiscernible from regular craft beer. Available through Amazon here, through the Libra website or through other online retailers across Canada.
Athletic Brewing Company - All styles
This is one of the best non alcoholic craft beer brands in North America and not only for their premium taste, but because they’re also investing in the community and building programs to give back. Their styles include pale ales, IPAs, stouts and other less popular but equally as mouthwatering varieties. Available through Athletic Brewing website and other retailers across Canada (list here) and the U.S.
Harmon’s Non-Alcoholic Craft Beer
With a range of five styles, Harmon’s is a hometown hit. Produced in Toronto, their non-alcoholic craft beers are true dupes for full-octane beer. With great flavour profiles, and a weighty mouthfeel, all of Harmon’s styles are worth trying out.
Erdinger Alkoholfrei Wheat Beer
You may have seen this around on the grocery store shelves, and for good reason. This is one of the oldest breweries in the world making non alcoholic beer before it was trendy. If you’re a german wheat beer fan you’ll love this crisp but yeasty 0.0% version of their centuries old recipe. Available at grocery stores and beer stores across Canada and the U.S.
Nonny Czech Pilsner
This Vancouver small batch craft beer brand is for anyone who is looking for a ‘pizza’ beer - that perfect beer that just hits the spot on Friday night. It’s the best non alcoholic pilsner beer available in Canada.
One For the Road Wheat Beer
This Calgary-based craft brewery makes several styles, but their What’s The Point Wheat Beer is truly exceptional. With a nice doughy zing, and a lingering bitter finish, this non-alcoholic beer made in Canada is a thing of beauty!
