Germany's non-alcoholic beer production has enjoyed a boom in the last 10 years, according to a new report. Low-alcohol drinks like Radler are also seeing increased sales.

Germany's Federal Statistical Office, Destatis, published a new report on Tuesday highlighting that drinkers across the country are increasingly turning to alcohol-free varieties for their after-work or weekend choice of beer.

In the last ten years, the production of non-alcoholic beer has more than doubled in Germany. In 2023, that amounted to some 556 million liters (147 million gallons) and €548 million ($593 million) in sales.

The new statistics were published to coincide with International Beer Day, which is August 2.

Destatis also noted that the production of low-alcohol drinks like Radler, a mixture of beer and lemonade, has also increased from 328 million liters in 2013 to 363 million liters in 2023.

"However," the report said, "there is still much more beer with alcohol being produced" in Germany than non-alcoholic.

Tried it, didn't taste like normal beer, unfortunately. Same issue, too sweet and too mild of a taste to pass for the real deal.

My dad couldn't tell apart a Guinness and a Guinness zero try that out

Edit: to further clarify it's not like they tasted different but he couldn't tell which one was the NA, he said they tasted exactly the same.

This is pretty much the single one I've had that is legit.

Maybe a lot of people can't tell but most NA still just doesn't compare to the real deal. It's pretty evident to a lot of us. If you're fine with that great but seriously, a lot still are way off. Wish I could try these German ones people are talking about but i haven't seen them in my market.

Ooh I have to check that one out

Hmmm i don’t believe you really tasted it

I’m saying you’re a liar and have never tasted it, probably never heard of it.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Lmao I'm sorry if you really like it, I just didn't think it was very close to regular beer.

[–] suction@lemmy.world -2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

It’s OK Pinocchio 😂 I know you’re lying because you said it’s “sweet” 😘

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

It's too sweet to pass off as regular beer, yeah. I'm sorry if my opinion upsets you, not my intention. I'd love to find a non-alcoholic beer that passes as the real deal. Not sure why you'd think someone would lie about this thing

[–] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Most are but Jever Fun is not sweet at all. It's not as bitter as the original Jever but also not sweet. I don't wanna call you a liar too but maybe you remember another brand?

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 0 points 3 months ago

It was sweeter than regular beer when I tried. Haven't tried their regular beer

[–] suction@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You lied about trying the specific beer I mentioned. It’s obvious from your first reply. But - that’s ok, I don’t have a horse in this race, so let’s not waste more time on this thread, Münchhausen.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

But I've tried it though. What reason would I have to lie about such a thing..?
