What is Amstel 0.0?
Amstel 0.0 is the alcohol-free version of Amstel, the lager that opened in Amsterdam in 1870 and has belonged to Heineken since 1968. Amstel says it’s brewed with its “cold contact” method and Aurora hops, and describes “een volle, toegankelijke smaak”: a full, approachable taste (our translation). Cold contact is a technique in which the yeast meets the wort at a low temperature, so it adds flavour but makes very little alcohol. Amstel doesn’t say whether any alcohol is removed afterwards.
Amstel’s Dutch product page gives 23 kcal, 5.4g of carbohydrate and 3.4g of sugar per 100ml, about 76 kcal for a 330ml can. We used to show 18 kcal, the figure on a Dutch supermarket’s listing; Amstel’s own figure is higher, so we now use that. It’s brewed with barley malt, so it isn’t gluten-free, and Amstel doesn’t say whether it’s vegan.
In the UK it’s hard to find. Heineken UK sells full-strength Amstel, which is 3.4% in UK cans and bottles, but Amstel 0.0 isn’t in its range, and we didn’t find it in any UK supermarket. Dry Drinker lists 330ml cans, but they were sold out when we checked. Heineken’s alcohol-free lager in UK shops is Heineken 0.0.
