Hiddenseer Weizen
By Hiddenseer · Germany
A German wheat beer under 0.5% from Rügener Insel-Brauerei, on the Baltic island of Rügen. The brewery calls it fruity and refreshing, and Dry Drinker describes banana, clove and a hint of lemon zest. It has 32 kcal per 100ml, the brewery says.
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 Hiddenseer Weizen?
Hiddenseer is the beer range of Rügener Insel-Brauerei, a brewery in Rambin on Rügen, Germany’s largest island, in the Baltic. Markus Berberich opened it in 2015. The range is named after Hiddensee, the small island next to Rügen; nothing is brewed there. The four Hiddenseer beers under 0.5% are the Weizen, the Hell, the Pils and the Radler, all in 500ml bottles.
The brewery calls the Weizen fruity, lively and refreshing; Dry Drinker describes a cloudy, pale straw beer with ripe banana, clove and a hint of lemon zest. The brewery says its Hiddenseer beers are brewed with floor-malted barley, fermented in open vessels and matured in the bottle, and its FAQ says its dealcoholisation plant uses vacuum distillation, though it doesn’t name the Hiddenseer beers.
It’s brewed with wheat and barley malts, so it isn’t gluten-free; the brewery makes no vegan claim for it, though its FAQ says German beers are vegan, as German beer law rules out animal products such as gelatine and isinglass. Per 100ml it has 32 kcal and 0.5g of sugars, about 160 kcal a 500ml bottle; the brewery gives the same energy, carbohydrate and protein figures for two of its other alcohol-free beers, so they may be shared figures. Dry Drinker had it in stock on 28 October 2026, from £24 for six bottles. We used to list it at 0.5%; the brewery says under 0.5%.
