Sportzot
By De Halve Maan · Belgium
The 0.4% blond from Bruges’ De Halve Maan, based on Brugse Zot Blond: “balanced with notes of malt and hop and has a delicate bitter aftertaste”, the brewery says. 26 kcal per 100ml.
At 0.4% 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 Sportzot?
De Halve Maan is the family brewery in the centre of Bruges, on a site with more than five centuries of brewing; the Maes family’s story there starts in 1856, and in 2005 Xavier Vanneste, son of Véronique Maes, renovated the old brewery and launched Brugse Zot. Since 2016 an underground pipeline of about 3km has carried its beer to the bottling plant outside the city.
Sportzot, launched in June 2018, is its alcohol-free beer, made from Brugse Zot Blond: “We filter out the alcohol by using a natural process which does not affect the taste of the beer”, the brewery says. It describes a bright golden blond with a fruity, spicy aroma, notes of malt and hop and a delicate bitter finish. It won gold at the World Beer Awards 2024 and bronze at the World Alcohol-Free Awards 2023.
The Dutch label gives 26 kcal and 1g of sugars per 100ml, about 86 kcal a bottle. We haven’t scored it yet.
