Find out where to buy alcohol-free and non-alcoholic beer in the UK, USA and Canada.
Until recently, you’d be lucky if you found one non-alcoholic or low-alcohol beer in your average shop. And then it would be hidden away on the top shelf, gathering dust.
Now, thanks to large beer brands pushing their non-alcoholic options and craft brewers producing alcohol-free brews to rival their bigger-ABV equivalents, it’s easier to pick up non-alcoholic beers in the supermarket or convenience store.
However, the quality and choice of the alcohol-free beers you find in the shops can still be a bit hit and miss. So you often need to go online to find the best tasting ones.
Here are some of the best places to order alcohol-free beer and low-alcohol beer under 0.5% ABV on the web in the UK and the US.

Where to buy alcohol-free beer online in the UK
Amazon.co.uk
Love it or hate it, it’s hard to deny that Amazon is a great place to source most things – including alcohol-free beer.
A lot of the alcohol-free beer on Amazon.co.uk* comes via breweries and retailers, meaning you won’t get free postage or Amazon Prime delivery on many items.
Still, it’s a decent outlet for alcohol-free beer in the UK (and USA and Canada – see below), especially if you’re buying in bulk.
Wise Bartender
Wise Bartender* sells around 40 alcohol-free and low-alcohol beers online from its base on the edge of cider country in Wiltshire. Its founder Tom set up the company to mix his two passions – health and family.
You can buy beers by the bottle or opt for taster packs of their most popular brews. There’s other non-alcoholic drinks too.
If you’re out and about in the West Country, look out for Wise Bartender’s market stall and pop-up bar.
Beer Hawk
Yorkshire-based Beer Hawk*, which is owned by global beer co AB Inbev, stocks a small selection of alcohol-free brews among its 1000-strong catalogue of craft beers and ales.
Non-alcoholic beers are tricky to find on the website if you’re not sure what you’re looking for. But they do have a good selection of harder-to-find alcohol-free craft beers. So we’ll let them off.
The website also sells an alcohol-free mixed case featuring pale ales, lagers, wheat beers and stout.

Booze Free
Inspired by the explosion of the market for craft beers and a fascination with the challenges involved in brewing a low alcohol beer, Terry Greenwood – who’s also a part-time brewer – set up Booze Free in early 2019.
The site sells ultra-low-alcohol and alcohol-free beers, which you can buy by the bottle or case. There’s also alcohol-free ciders, mocktails and mixers on offer.
The Alcohol Free Co
Started as a hobby for a recovering selling just three ranges of alcohol free drinks, the Basildon-based Alcohol Free Co is now an importer and exporter of alcohol-free drinks with trade customers as far away as Australia.
You can buy through its website, as well as eBay and Amazon. It aims to price match or beat competitors’ prices.
The Alcohol-Free Shop
John Risby and Christine Humphreys set up The Alcohol Free Shop in 2006. They have a physical shop in Manchester supported by their online store.
The Alcohol Free Shop is a good option if you want to buy non-alcoholic beer by the case. It also sells mixed boxes of alcohol-free beer if you want to sample a few varieties.
Wine, spirits and cocktails are available too.
Beer Wulf
With probably the most attractive website of all the online retailers in this post, Heineken-owned Beer Wulf is based in the Netherlands but delivers to the UK.
There’s a small range of (mostly rare) alcohol-free and non-alcoholic beers available, all with 24-hour UK delivery when you order before 4pm.
Delicious Drinks Shop
This one is another Dutch retailer, which has a UK-based website. It offers almost 50 alcohol-free beer brands with a focus on brands from Germany and the Netherlands.

Whether these retailers can ship to you depends on where you’re located.
Amazon.com
The choice of non-alcoholic beers on Amazon.com* (and Amazon.ca*) isn’t quite as varied as Amazon’s UK arm.

There’s a focus on quality drinks from small and independent producers with soda, kombucha and non-alcoholic spirits on sale alongside beer.
