Ambar Alcohol-Free Beers

Ambar has brewed in Zaragoza since 1900, and it says it made Spain’s first alcohol-free beer, in 1976. Its 0.0% beers now carry the Triple Zero name. Three are in our directory, and our top score so far is 7.5/10, for Triple Zero Tostada.

Who are Ambar?

Ambar began in 1900 in the San José district of Zaragoza, as the Fábrica de Cerveza, Malta y Hielo, a beer, malt and ice factory. Its company, La Zaragozana, is part of Grupo Agora, which calls itself an independent brewing group; trade press describes it as 100% family-owned. The group also owns Moritz, the Barcelona brewer behind Aigua de Moritz. We found no stake held by a big brewer, so Ambar now carries our Independent badge.

Most of its beer now comes from a plant at La Cartuja, on the edge of Zaragoza, which opened in 2019; a 2026 profile put its output at almost 100 million litres a year. The original 1900 site in San José is also a museum you can tour. Ambar says its maltings there date from the 1930s, and that its open-vat fermentation room, which it uses to experiment, has no equal in Spain.

Spain’s alcohol-free pioneer, by its own account

Ambar says it launched Ambar Sin, Spain’s first alcohol-free beer, in 1976. It also says that in 2011 it made the world’s first beer that was both gluten-free and alcohol-free. Both are Ambar’s claims, from its history page.

Today its alcohol-free beers carry the Triple Zero name. Ambar launched Triple Zero in May 2022 to replace Ambar 0,0, and says the zeros are alcohol and sugar; at the launch the third was CO2, described as neutral emissions. Ambar says it ferments the beer fully and then removes the alcohol by distillation under high vacuum at low temperature.

The Triple Zero range

Triple Zero is the lager, at 18.6 kcal and no sugar per 100ml. Triple Zero Tostada, added in November 2022, is the toasted version, with the same nutrition and a little more bitterness; it’s our highest-rated Spanish alcohol-free beer, at 7.5/10. Triple Zero Radler is half alcohol-free beer and half lemon soft drink, sweetened with sucralose and acesulfame K, at 12.8 kcal per 100ml.

None of those three is gluten-free: they’re brewed with barley malt. Ambar’s gluten-free alcohol-free beer is the separate Triple Zero Sin Gluten, which it says has under 6 parts per million of gluten. The fifth, Triple Zero Probiótica, launched in 2026. Neither is in our directory.

Awards

Ambar says three of its Triple Zero beers won gold at the 2026 World Beer Challenge, without saying which three, and that Ambar Especial, its full-strength lager, scored 100 out of 100 in the international lager category in 2024 and 2026. These are Ambar’s own claims; we couldn’t check them with the competition, whose site blocked us.

Where to buy Ambar in the UK

It’s hard to find. Dry Drinker lists Triple Zero in 330ml bottles, at £14.48 for six, but it was sold out, marked “Back Soon”, when we checked on 26 October 2026. Its listing is titled as the lager but describes the Tostada. That’s an affiliate link. Wise Bartender doesn’t sell Ambar, and we didn’t find it at Tesco, Sainsbury’s or Morrisons.
