The story behind Super Bock Pilsner
Super Bock’s trademark was filed and approved in 1927, the brewer says, and the year before, the beer won its first grand prize at the Portuguese Industrial Exhibition at Porto’s Palácio de Cristal, according to Wikipedia. Its own timeline puts the launch of its alcohol-free beer in 2008, and it calls that beer the best-selling non-alcoholic beer in Portugal.
For Super Bock Free, whose figures this beer matches, the brewer says the alcohol is removed in a distillation column after brewing, and Wikipedia says it’s dealcoholised without stopping fermentation.
Serve it ice-cold in a small glass with grilled sardines, piri-piri chicken or salty lupin beans; The Alcohol Free Co and Dry Drinker say it’s best served cold with Mediterranean dishes or light meals. Brewery story on our Super Bock hub.
