At what temperature should you drink non-alcoholic beer?
Good non-alcoholic beer is never enjoyed too cold.
We avoid serving it iced for example because the palate will be numbed by the cold and you will not perceive any delicate aromas or flavors.
If your non-alcoholic beer comes out of the fridge, wait 5 to 10 minutes before tasting it so that the non-alcoholic beer can warm up slightly.
Choosing the ideal temperature depends on your location and the season, but we can recommend the following tasting temperatures, never below 5°C:
Light non-alcoholic beer: 5°C, including light and summer beer, flavored beer, wheat beer, etc.
Artisanal non-alcoholic beer: 8°C, this temperature is suitable for most so-called artisanal or craft beers.
Savvy tasters will enjoy tasting their non-alcoholic beer at different temperatures to compare and decide on the temperature.
Which non-alcoholic beer glass should you choose to serve?
There are many shapes of non-alcoholic beer glasses.
Mugs, stemmed glasses, flutes, straight pint glasses, chalices...
Each brewer offers glasses to match their creation, in addition to what you find in stores or at Sanzalc.
We recommend using a glass with a stem or handle like a mug so that the non-alcoholic beer does not overheat when it comes into contact with your hand holding the glass.
Try different glasses to see if you feel the same with the same non-alcoholic beer, the release of aroma upon contact with the mouth varies a lot between narrow glasses and wide glasses.

Whether you want to exceed the DLUO (Optimal Use By Date) or not, it is necessary to store your alcohol-free beers in good conditions to preserve or develop their aromas and flavors.
Non-alcoholic beer is sensitive to light and heat.
Also, there are 3 basic rules to respect:
Do not expose non-alcoholic beers to light, as this directly impacts the hops present in the drink, degrading them.
Since hops have preservative properties, their alteration will cause non-alcoholic beer to keep for a shorter period of time.
It can also develop unpleasant tastes.
Maintain non-alcoholic beer at a constant temperature, ideally between 10 and 15 degrees, in a cellar, like wine.
Too cold a temperature will alter the aromas.
Conversely, a temperature that is too hot will cause them to develop too quickly.
Hold non-alcoholic beer vertically to reduce risks by avoiding contact between the liquid and the cap.
This allows the yeast to settle quietly at the bottom of the bottle.
In a nutshell, non-alcoholic beer does not have a shelf life but only an optimal or minimum shelf life.
Therefore, the DLUO can easily exceed several weeks/months without being as long as bad.
And in any case, you must remember that this will not pose a health hazard.
