The best alcohol-free beer at Sainsbury’s is Lucky Saint Unfiltered Lager, our top-scoring lager at 8.7: £6 for four 330ml, or £13.50 for ten. For something darker, Theakston Nowt Peculier (8.0) is a 0.0% Yorkshire dark ale we didn’t find at any other supermarket.
The cheapest by the litre is Estrella Damm Alcohol Free: £11 for ten 440ml cans, or £9.50 with Nectar until 13 October (£2.16 a litre). Sainsbury’s doesn’t sell an own-brand alcohol-free beer, and 16 of its 28 are 0.0%.
Links to the supermarkets are ordinary links: we earn nothing from them. Links to Dry Drinker and Wise Bartender are affiliate links, so if you buy through them we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. How we make money.
Sainsbury’s range is smaller than Tesco’s but well chosen. There are 4 Lucky Saint beers, Guinness 0.0 in four and ten-packs, and two beers we didn’t find at any other supermarket: Theakston Nowt Peculier and BrewDog Hazy Jane AF.
We went through every alcohol-free beer on sainsburys.co.uk on 9 October 2026 and matched each one to our reviews. Nectar Prices change often, and this week’s run until Tuesday 13 October.
Best alcohol-free beer at Sainsbury’s
£6 4 × 330ml £4.55 a litre
Hazy pale gold, bready malt and a clean, dry finish, with more body than almost any alcohol-free lager. Our top-scoring lager, and the one to buy if you only buy one.
Better value in the 10 × 330ml pack: £13.50, £4.09 a litre.
Best hazy IPA
£5 4 × 330ml £3.79 a litre
Mango, pineapple and mandarin, with a soft body and low bitterness. BrewDog’s juiciest alcohol-free beer.
We didn’t find it at any other supermarket.
Best IPA
£5 4 × 330ml £3.79 a litre
Grapefruit, passion fruit and pine, with real malt body and a clean, bitter bite. For IPA drinkers who like their bitterness.
£4 with Nectar until 13 October.
Best stout
£5.45 4 × 440ml £3.10 a litre
It looks exactly like Guinness in the glass, with the same roasted barley, dry coffee and creamy head. A touch lighter in body than the real thing, so serve it cold.
Best pale ale
£5 4 × 440ml £2.84 a litre
Citra hops give grapefruit and lemon over a clean malt base, and it finishes dry. The pale ale to pick for a proper pint with fish and chips.
Best wheat beer
£2.10 500ml £4.20 a litre
A proper German wheat beer: hazy gold, banana and clove, soft and full-bodied. Pour it into a tall glass with a good head.
Buy 4, get the cheapest free with Nectar on single cans and bottles, until 13 October.
Only at Sainsbury’s
£2.25 500ml £4.50 a litre
A true 0.0% dark ale from Theakston of Masham, with the rich, roasty character of the house style. Drink it cellar-cool with a pie, a stew or a strong cheddar.
Of the supermarkets we checked, only Sainsbury’s sells it.
Also worth a look at Sainsbury’s: Lucky Saint Superior Lemon Lager (8.4) and Brooklyn Special Effects (7.6).
Estrella Damm Alcohol Free in the ten-can pack is the cheapest alcohol-free beer at Sainsbury’s: £11 for ten 440ml cans, £2.50 a litre, and £9.50 with Nectar until 13 October (£2.16). Heineken 0.0 is close behind at £4.50 a six-pack with Nectar. For a beer we rate highly, the ten-pack of Lucky Saint at £13.50 works out at £1.35 a can.

16 of the 28 alcohol-free beers at Sainsbury’s are 0.0%. The best of them is Guinness 0.0 (8.1), and the 0.0% lager we rate highest is Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% (7.3). Most craft alcohol-free beer, Lucky Saint included, is up to 0.5%, so check the strength column in the table if it matters to you. 0.0% vs 0.5%: what’s the difference? explains it, and our best 0.0% beers ranks the field. Nowt Peculier is one of very few 0.0% dark beers anywhere, so if that’s what you’re after, this is the place.
With a Nectar card linked to your account, these prices run until Tuesday 13 October 2026:
There’s no Nectar Price on the Lucky Saint four-packs this week, so the ten-pack is the better buy.
Sainsbury’s covers the big names and a couple of surprises. Some of the best alcohol-free beers we’ve reviewed aren’t in any supermarket we checked, though: you’ll find them at the specialist shops, which deliver across the UK. These four were in stock on 9 October.
Pillowy and soft, with huge mango, papaya and passion fruit. Our joint top-scoring IPA, and no supermarket we checked sells it.
A Norwegian IPA with real grapefruit: zesty, cleanly bitter and very refreshing.
Citra, Chinook and Columbus hops give citrus and pine, with a clean, dry finish. An everyday pale ale, not a substitute.
Dark chocolate, coffee and a hint of vanilla: a smooth, robust stout.
Yes. On 9 October 2026 sainsburys.co.uk listed 28 alcohol-free beers in its Low & no alcohol beer aisle, for delivery or click and collect. 16 of them are 0.0%.
Lucky Saint Unfiltered Lager, which scores 8.7 in Unhopped’s reviews. The best stout is Guinness 0.0 (8.1), and Theakston Nowt Peculier (8.0) is a 0.0% dark ale we didn’t find at any other supermarket.
Estrella Damm Alcohol Free in a pack of ten 440ml cans: £11, or £9.50 with Nectar until 13 October, which is £2.16 a litre.
Not at the moment: the only Sainsbury’s-brand drink in its low and no aisle is a low-alcohol cider. Aldi, Lidl and M&S all make own-brand alcohol-free beer; see our supermarket guide.
Yes, more of it than most: Lucky Saint Weissbier, Lucky Saint Unfiltered Lager, Lucky Saint Lime & Sea Salt Lager and Lucky Saint Superior Lemon Lager. The ten-pack of Unfiltered Lager is the best value, at £13.50.
Yes, 16 of its 28 alcohol-free beers are 0.0%. The best-rated are Guinness 0.0 (8.1) and Theakston Nowt Peculier (8.0).
Buy the Lucky Saint ten-pack, add a few bottles of Nowt Peculier for the colder nights, and look at the Nectar Prices before you check out: they change every few weeks.
For the beers Sainsbury’s doesn’t stock, a mixed case from a specialist is the easiest way to try them.
How we checked. We read every alcohol-free beer in the Low & no alcohol beer aisle on sainsburys.co.uk on 9 October 2026. Prices are Sainsbury’s online prices that day; in-store prices and offers can differ. Scores come from Unhopped’s own reviews. Spotted a change? Tell us.
