Fierce Hometown Lager 0.5
By Fierce Beer · UK
Fierce’s 0.5% version of Hometown, its everyday lager from Aberdeen: “light and refreshing”, Fierce says. It comes in 330ml cans, at 17 kcal per 100ml.
At 0.5% ABV, this isn’t alcohol-free under UK guidance, which keeps the term for 0.05% or less. We list it with alcohol-free beers, as UK shops do. How UK labels work

What is Hometown Lager 0.5?
Hometown is Fierce Beer’s lager, and this is “a 0.5% ABV spin on our Hometown lager — light and refreshing”, as Fierce puts it. Fierce says it brews all its alcohol-free beers to 0.5% from the start, rather than brewing them to full strength and taking the alcohol out.
The ingredients, Fierce says, are water, barley and wheat (both with the gluten removed), hops, yeast and a preservative, potassium sorbate. Fierce calls it gluten-free and vegan, and says its gluten-free beers are tested by Brewlab at below 20 parts per million. It lists 17 kcal per 100ml, about 56 kcal a can, though it gives exactly the same panel for three of its 0.5% beers.
On 28 October 2026 Fierce’s own shop sold it from £1.55 a can, and The Alcohol Free Co from £4.72. We haven’t scored it yet. See the rest of Fierce’s 0.5% range.
