The best 0.0% beer: zero-alcohol beers, ranked

14 beers with no alcohol at all, ranked by our scores, plus where to find the big-brand 0.0s.

By Rich, founder of Unhopped  |  Updated October 2026  |  Stock checked 9 October 2026

The short answer

Our pick is Days Pale Ale, a 0.0% pale ale brewed in Scotland that scores 7.9 out of 10. Guinness 0.0 scores a little higher (8.1) and is the best you can pick up in a supermarket, and for a 0.0% lager, Days makes our favourite too: Days Lager (7.8).

A beer labelled 0.0% has 0.05% alcohol or less, within the UK’s limit for calling a drink alcohol-free. Most craft alcohol-free beer is up to 0.5%; every beer on this page is 0.0%.

Links to The Alcohol Free Co, Dry Drinker and Wise Bartender are affiliate links: if you buy through them we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. Links to supermarkets and breweries are ordinary links. How we make money.

If you want no alcohol at all rather than a trace of it, the choice is smaller than at 0.5%, but it’s better than it used to be. There are proper dark beers, a Trappist ale and some clean German pilsners, alongside the big-brand 0.0s you’ll find in most supermarkets.

These are the 12 zero-alcohol beers we rate that you can buy today, our pick first and then in score order, followed by the supermarket 0.0s we haven’t rated yet. Stock was checked on 9 October 2026.

Questions people ask

What is the best zero-alcohol beer?

Our pick is Days Pale Ale, a 0.0% pale ale brewed in Scotland, which scores 7.9 out of 10 in Unhopped’s ratings. Guinness 0.0 scores a little higher, at 8.1, and is the best you’ll find in supermarkets.

What is the best no-alcohol beer in the UK supermarkets?

Guinness 0.0 (8.1), which Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Asda, Aldi, Waitrose and Co-op all sell. For a lager, Days Lager (7.8) at Tesco; for a dark ale, Theakston Nowt Peculier (8.0) at Sainsbury’s.

What does 0.0% mean on a beer?

It means the beer has 0.05% alcohol or less, within the UK’s limit for calling a drink alcohol-free. Beers labelled 0.5% can have up to ten times as much. Our guide to 0.0% vs 0.5% explains the difference.

Is Guinness 0.0 really 0.0%?

Guinness labels it 0.0%, and Tesco and Morrisons list it as 0.0% vol. UK guidance allows drinks at 0.05% ABV or below to be called alcohol-free.

What is the best 0.0% lager?

Days Lager (7.8). Of the big brands we rate, Peroni 0.0% scores 7.3 and Heineken 0.0 scores 7.0.

Want a 0.0% advent calendar? None of this year’s ready-made alcohol-free advent calendars promises 0.0% behind every door, so we built one: a twelve-door calendar of 0.0% beers we rate, priced up.

The verdict

For a stout, Guinness 0.0 is the easy choice and a very good one. Our pick is Days, which makes the best 0.0% pale ale and lager we’ve rated, both brewed in Scotland.
