These are the best-scoring alcohol-free and low-alcohol stouts (0.0% to 0.5%) you can buy in the UK right now. Seven made the list: each has an Unhopped score, and each was in stock at The Alcohol Free Co, Dry Drinker or Wise Bartender when we checked prices on 4 November 2026. Below them are the other stouts and porters we list, the ones you can’t currently buy here, and what the labels mean. New to the style? Start with what a stout is, or how stout differs from porter.

Ranked by Unhopped score. Prices are the cheapest in-stock can at the three shops on 4 November 2026. Calories are per 100ml, as on each beer’s Unhopped page; where a brewer gives only a per-can figure, that’s worked out per 100ml or taken from a shop.

Big Drop · UK · 0.5% ABV · 31 kcal per 100ml
Big Drop’s milk stout, which it tells you to “think of” as “honeycomb covered in chocolate”. It’s brewed with lactose, so it isn’t vegan, and it’s labelled gluten-free. It won gold at the World Alcohol-Free Awards in 2023.
Best for: a sweeter, dessert-like stout.
Big Drop lists the ingredients as water, malted barley, lactose, oats, rye, cocoa nibs, hops and yeast. Silver at the World Alcohol-Free Awards in 2024, too.

Mash Gang · UK · 0.5% ABV

Best for: something richer, with fruit and chocolate.
Beer Today reported in September 2025 that it won double gold at the International Non-Alcoholic Competition and was named its beer of the year.

Brulo · UK · 0.5% ABV · 17 kcal per 100ml
“Dark and hoppy. It shouldn’t work but it does.” Brulo’s 0.5% stout is dry-hopped with Columbus and Simcoe for “big citrus and pine” over chocolate and coffee from roasted malts. Brulo gives 56 kcal a can, it’s vegan.
Best for: hop fans who want citrus and pine with their roast.
Brulo says it’s brewed to 0.5% from the first day, in Belgium, rather than having the alcohol taken out. The malts include rye, wheat, flaked oats and roasted barley.
From £2.19 a canin a case of 24 at Dry Drinker, 4 November 2026
Drop Bear Beer Co · UK · 0.5% ABV · 17 kcal per 100ml

Best for: smoke and roast, without lactose.
Drop Bear lists water, malted barley, wheat, hops and yeast, and tests each batch for gluten below 20ppm. Dry Drinker suggests serving it at 10–12°C.

Best for: Guinness drinkers, and anyone who wants 0.0% on the label.

Nirvana Brewery · UK · 0.5% ABV

More alcohol-free stouts and porters to try
We list these, but we haven’t scored them yet, so they aren’t ranked. All were in stock at one of the three shops when we checked. Two are alcohol-free versions of big imperial stouts (Moersleutel’s Motor Oil is 12% at full strength, Omnipollo’s Noa Pecan Mud Cake 11%), and two are porters: more on how they differ in stout vs porter.
Unscored stouts and porters in stock on 4 November 2026, cheapest per can or bottle.
Super Bock sells its beer in Portugal as Super Bock Free Dark, which it calls an international dark lager; UK shops list it as a stout. And Theakston Nowt Peculier, 0.0% and £3.50 for a 500ml bottle at Wise Bartender, is a dark ruby ale rather than a stout: the alcohol-free version of Old Peculier.
Stouts you can’t buy here right now
Stock for these comes from each beer’s Unhopped page, checked between late October and 4 November 2026.
Check the strength.Guinness 0.0 is 0.0%; most of the others are 0.5% or “below 0.5%”. UK government guidance, which is voluntary, keeps the term alcohol-free for 0.05% ABV or below, though many beers up to 0.5% are sold in the UK as alcohol-free. More in our 0.0% vs 0.5% guide.
Milk stout means lactose. Lactose is milk sugar, which brewer’s yeast doesn’t ferment, so it stays in the beer as sweetness and body. That makes a milk stout unsuitable for vegans. Several of the seven get their body another way: Mash Gang and Jump Ship use oats, and Brulo’s malt bill includes flaked oats and rye. More on the styles in the types of stout.
Nitro cans pour differently. A nitro stout is packed with nitrogen rather than only carbon dioxide, which gives the tight, creamy head Guinness is known for. Jump Ship recommends a hard pour for its nitro batch. Why nitrogen makes stout creamy.
Every beer on Unhopped has its own page with the brewer’s description, the label facts and, where we’ve rated it, an Unhopped score out of 10. This list takes every stout in our directory with a score and ranks those you could buy from The Alcohol Free Co, Dry Drinker or Wise Bartender on 4 November 2026, highest score first. Prices come from the shops’ own product listings on the same day; they change often, so check before you buy. Some links on this page are affiliate links: if you buy through them we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. It never changes our scores or the order of the list. How we make money.
Yes: Guinness 0.0, 0.0% ABV, the alcohol-free version of Guinness Draught. Diageo says it’s brewed at St James’s Gate in Dublin and that the alcohol is removed by cold filtration. On 4 November 2026 it was from £2.04 a can in a case of 24 at Dry Drinker. Read our Guinness 0.0 review.
Only the 0.0% ones meet UK guidance for alcohol-free, which is 0.05% ABV or below; brewers don’t publish a more precise figure than 0.0%. Most alcohol-free stouts are up to 0.5% ABV. UK government guidance, which is voluntary, keeps the term alcohol-free for 0.05% ABV or below, though many beers up to 0.5% are sold in the UK as alcohol-free. More in our 0.0% vs 0.5% guide.
