The Best Alcohol-Free Beer App
Updated July 2026 · by Rich, founder of Unhopped
“Is there an app for alcohol-free beer?” is a question we get a lot — usually from people who’ve tried logging AF beers in a mainstream app and found the experience underwhelming. Here’s an honest look at the options, and what a purpose-built AF app does differently.
Why mainstream beer apps fall short for AF
General beer-rating apps are brilliant for full-strength beer, but alcohol-free is an afterthought in them: the 0.0s are sparse, poorly tagged, often missing calorie and ABV detail, and buried under thousands of full-strength entries. If you’re drinking AF by choice, you want somewhere the whole catalogue is relevant — where every beer is one you can actually drink.
What the best AF beer app should do
Four things, really: a proper AF catalogue (breadth and accurate detail — ABV, calories, style, score); personalised discovery that learns your palate rather than just listing everything; a community of people with the same goal; and a bit of fun so building your taste is something you keep doing. Here’s how Unhopped approaches each:
The Unhopped app is built AF-first: 235 hand-picked beers from 20 countries, a swipe-to-rate Discover feed that sharpens to your taste, a personal taste archetype, the Digby Tap community, and tasting quests to work through. Because it only does AF, nothing in it is noise.
It’s coming to iOS very soon. Drop your email and we’ll send you the link the day it lands.
In the meantime: the web tools
While the app clears its final App Store steps, the same engine runs free on the website: the Swap Finder (the AF version of your usual pint), the Beer Finder quiz, and our best-of rankings. The app just makes it pocket-sized and personal.
