Alcohol-free beer has been gaining popularity in recent years as beer consumption shrinks.
Head Brewmaster Tobias Zollo fills beer at the Weihenstephan brewery in Freising, Germany, Friday, Sept. 20, 2024.
At Weihenstephan, which was founded as a brewery in 1040 by Benedictine monks, non-alcoholic wheat beer and lager now make up 10 per cent of the volume. The increase over the last few years, since they started making alcohol-free drinks in the 1990s, mirrors the statistics for the rest of Germany's beer industry.
Walter König, managing director of the Society of Hop Research north of Munich, said researchers have had to breed special hops varieties for alcohol-free beer. If brewers use the typical hops for alcohol-free beer, the distinct aroma gets lost when the alcohol is reduced during the brewing process.“They only want to know that what they are tasting is as good as traditional beers with alcohol,” he said.
