Birra Moretti is the 165-year-old Italian lager brand whose alcohol-free expression — Birra Moretti Zero — has become one of the most widely-stocked AF beers in UK pubs and supermarkets, alongside Heineken 0.0 and Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0%.

Birra Moretti: 165 years of Italian brewing

Birra Moretti was founded in 1859 in Udine, north-east Italy, where Luigi Moretti opened his first brewery in a converted ice house. The brand grew steadily through the late 19th and early 20th centuries, became a defining Italian lager, and is now part of the Heineken group — though it retains its Italian production base and the Friulian identity that made the original Moretti family famous in their region.

What Birra Moretti is known for

Moretti's reputation is built on the Italian pilsner style: clean, crisp, food-friendly, with the characteristic soft bitterness of Italian-grown noble hops. The full-strength Birra Moretti L'Autentica (4.6%) is one of the most widely distributed Italian lagers in the UK, found in pizza chains, Italian restaurants, and supermarket fridges nationwide. The brand's iconic mustachioed gentleman label has become shorthand for accessible Italian lager generally.

Birra Moretti's alcohol-free expression

Birra Moretti 0.0% applies the same Italian pilsner template to a non-alcoholic format. The challenge any heritage lager brand faces with alcohol-free is retaining the recognisable flavour profile without the alcohol that contributes to body and balance — and Moretti 0.0% does this credibly. It's a legitimate alternative for Moretti drinkers who are driving, moderating, or pregnant, rather than a separate beer that happens to share branding.

Where to find Birra Moretti 0.0%

Widely available in UK supermarkets and increasingly on draught in Italian restaurants and pizza chains. For an alcohol-free pairing with pizza or pasta, Moretti 0.0% is a sensible default. Recommended alongside other mainstream lager extensions like Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0.

Who Moretti 0.0% is for

Best for drinkers who already enjoy the full-strength version and want a recognisable alcohol-free alternative. Less right for: drinkers seeking experimental craft NA — for that, explore the indie end of the category through Lucky Saint, Big Drop, or Drop Bear instead.

Is Birra Moretti owned by Heineken?
