Born on the beaches of Mexico, out of the largest brewery in the world, Corona Cero is one of the most popular alcohol-free beers in the world, and it's success was instant when it debuted at Drink Dry (read more about it here).

Guinness 0.0 is brewed just like the original beer before undergoing a pioneering cold filtration process, ensuring the same deep roasted malt character, but without the alcohol. There is no mistaking why it has become the best-selling beer in some markets.
There is nothing that pairs better with BBQs, hearty pies and steaks, and burgers, than Guinness 0.0 (tried and tested for over 230 years!). It's the ultimate companion for pub or social nights, at the forefront of enjoyment without compromise.

Non-Alcoholic Beers FAQ’s
Q: Is non-alcoholic beer low in calories?
Non-alcoholic beers typically have fewer calories and no alcohol, making them a better fit for those monitoring their intake. Alcohol free beers typically contain about half the number of calories compared to their alcoholic counterpart:
- Guinness 0.0 has just 70 calories per can, compared to traditional Guinness with 154 calories per can.
- Corona Cero has 56 calories per 330ml, whereas Corona Extra has 148 calories per 330ml.
- Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0 has 76 calories per 330ml, compared to Peroni Nastro Azzurro, which has 139 calories per 330ml.
For the same 330ml, your morning coffee or orange juice could set you back 156-250 calories! May as well take the booze at that point!
Q: What's the best way to serve non-alcoholic beer?
Non-alcoholic beers should always be served cold. Slightly colder for lagers like Corona Cero and Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0, which can be enjoyed straight out of the bottle. Corona Cero must be served with a lime for the best taste experience.
Guinness 0.0 is best poured chilled into a clean pint glass at a 45 degree angle, followed by settling time to allow the nitrogen to settle, creating a smooth, velvety head. Belgian beers like Bière des Amis shine in a chalice glass.
