Heaps Normal Another Lager
By Heaps Normal · Australia
Heaps Normal’s “classic Aussie non-alcoholic lager”, “fit for the pub, pitch or pit”. It has 16 kcal and 0.8g of sugar per 100ml, it’s vegan, and Heaps Normal says it won gold at the World Beer Awards in 2023 and 2024.
At under 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 Another Lager?
Another Lager arrived in 2022 as Heaps Normal’s take on the Australian pub lager: “a classic Aussie non-alcoholic lager fit for the pub, pitch or pit”, in its words. When it launched, Broadsheet reported Hallertau and Ella hops, with small additions of wheat, oats and maltodextrin for body.
Heaps Normal says it brews “in the same way as normal craft beers”, with a trace of alcohol from natural fermentation, and its UK distributor says nothing is removed. It’s contract-brewed in Melbourne.
Heaps Normal’s nutrition panel gives 16 kcal, 3g of carbohydrate and 0.8g of sugar per 100ml, which works out at about 60 kcal a 375ml can (its FAQ says 71, which doesn’t match). It’s vegan. Heaps Normal calls it low gluten, and its nutrition panel gives 24ppm of gluten; it isn’t labelled gluten-free.
Heaps Normal’s awards page lists gold at the World Beer Awards in 2023 and 2024 and at the Australian International Beer Awards in 2025. Dry Drinker and Wise Bartender had it in stock on 28 October 2026. See our ranking of the best alcohol-free lagers for others.
