What is the alcohol content expected to be in non-alcoholic beer?

Non-alcoholic beer is defined as having a very low alcohol content, typically capped at 0.5% alcohol by volume (ABV). This level is significantly lower than that found in traditional beers, which usually range from 4% to 6% ABV or higher. The fermentation process in beer-making generally produces some alcohol, but in the case of non-alcoholic varieties, additional steps are taken to either limit fermentation or remove alcohol after brewing.

Most regulations and industry standards classify beverages with an alcohol content of 0.5% or lower as non-alcoholic. This designation enables those who are avoiding alcohol for health, personal, or legal reasons to enjoy a beverage that mimics the taste and experience of traditional beer without the associated effects of alcohol consumption. The other options reflect higher percentages, which would not fall under the category of non-alcoholic beer according to these standards.
