Mikkeller Energibajer
By Mikkeller · Denmark
A 0.3% wheat ale from Mikkeller: “peaches, apricots, herbal notes; light-bodied with grapefruit hops and a refreshing, malty finish”, the brewer says. In bottles.
At 0.3% 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 Energibajer?
Mikkeller is a Copenhagen brewer founded in 2006 by Mikkel Borg Bjergsø, a former maths and physics teacher, and Kristian Klarup Keller, who left in 2007. Bjergsø still controls it; Carlsberg bought 20% in 2024, and the investment firm Orkila Capital is the second-largest shareholder. Its alcohol-free beers use a yeast it developed with the Belgian brewery De Proefbrouwerij, which, it says, makes beer with little alcohol but plenty of flavour; most are 0.3%. Mikkeller lists ten alcohol-free beers. The UK shops sell Drink’in the Sun, Weird Weather, Burst Free and Energibajer, and The Alcohol Free Co has Drink’in the Snow too.
Mikkeller lists Energibajer as a wheat ale with “peaches, apricots, herbal notes; light-bodied with grapefruit hops and a refreshing, malty finish”. It’s one of its older alcohol-free beers. The brewer doesn’t publish an ingredients list or name the hops.
