About This Beer
Weihenstephaner Non Alcoholic Original Helles is proof that alcohol-free beers can be every bit as flavourful and satisfying as their full-strength counterparts.

At just 0.5% ABV, it offers drinkers a refreshing option that stays true to centuries of brewing heritage while meeting the needs of modern lifestyles.
For those exploring craft beer online, this non-alcoholic Helles is the ideal entry point to Germany’s brewing traditions. It retains the crisp, malty backbone and clean hop finish that define the style, but in a format that anyone can enjoy at any occasion.
