Bavaria 0.0% Original review
#32 of 47
Our take: Fine in a pinch, but there are better cans for the money. Alcohol Change UK gives it 3/5; drinkers rate it 2.50/5 across 17,985 ratings, below the alcohol-free average on Untappd.
Bavaria 0.0% is an alcohol-free beer brewed and canned in the Netherlands by the Swinkels family brewery, made with natural mineral water, barley malt, hops and natural flavourings. Alcohol Change UK reports that it launched in 1978 and is brewed alcohol-free rather than having the alcohol removed.
Who it's for
- Lager drinkers who want something crisp and familiar
- Anyone who needs a true 0.0%, like drivers or during pregnancy (check with your midwife)
Skip it if
- You are coeliac (it contains gluten)
- You want big flavour: drinkers find it light
Try instead: Estrella Damm Alcohol Free (0.0%), #5 in our ranking.
