Make mindful choices for 2026 with non-alc beer and cider
Tap into your New Year goals with a selection of non-alc beverages. Whether you’re hosting or replenishing your fridge with mindful options, today’s non-alc beers and ciders deliver all the flavour of a regular brew.
No longer just a substitute, the non-alc category has exploded with variety, including tasty options from beloved global brands like Guinness, Sapporo, Heineken and Peroni. Of course, some of the best non-alc choices come from craft breweries and cideries, so check out offerings from Collective Arts, Bellwoods, Muskoka, Pommies and Partake.
You’ll know a non-alc drink by the label: It contains 0.5% ABV or less. Some brewers use dealcoholization to remove the alcohol from the product, whereas others reduce or prevent the alcohol from being formed at all.
Enjoy these crisp, bright and full-bodied ciders and beers with a few mouthwatering savoury bites from Food & Drink magazine. Happy New Year!
