What is Asahi Super Dry 0.0?
Asahi launched Super Dry 0.0% in the UK and Ireland in January 2023, ahead of its other markets. Asahi says the base recipe of Super Dry is “taken through a process of de-alcoholisation”, with the alcohol “gently removed”, to keep “the exact same signature crisp, refreshing, super dry taste”. The UK label calls it the “signature super dry taste, known as Karakuchi”.
The UK cans say they’re brewed and canned by Birra Peroni in Rome, which Asahi has owned since 2016, for Asahi UK. The recipe uses corn grits and corn starch alongside barley malt, and the label gives 25 kcal, 6.1g of carbohydrate and 0.9g of sugar per 100ml: about 83 kcal for a 330ml can.
Judges rate it. It won gold at the World Alcohol-Free Awards in 2023, silver in 2024, bronze in 2025 and silver in 2026, and in Which?’s blind taste test of 12 alcohol-free beers, published in April 2026, it scored 68% and came joint fourth. We haven’t scored it yet; our Asahi Super Dry 0.0 review looks at it with food.
It’s easy to find: four-packs of cans are in Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Morrisons, Waitrose and Ocado, and Dry Drinker sells cases of 330ml bottles. For other 0.0% lagers, see our ranking of the best 0.0% beers.
