WHAT DOES NEAR BEER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

near beer

Low-alcohol beer

Low-alcohol beer is beer with low alcohol content or no alcohol, which aim to reproduce the taste of beer without the inebriating effects of standard alcoholic brews. Most low-alcohol beers are lagers, but there are some low-alcohol ales. In the United States, beverages containing less than 0.5% alcohol by volume were legally called non-alcoholic, according to the now-defunct Volstead Act. Because of its very low alcohol content, non-alcoholic beer may be legally sold to minors in many American states. In the United Kingdom, the following definitions apply by law: ▪ No alcohol or alcohol-free: not more than 0.05% ABV ▪ Dealcoholised: over 0.05% but less than 0.5% ABV ▪ Low-alcohol: not more than 1.2% ABV In some parts of the European Union, beer must contain no more than 0.5% ABV if it is labelled "alcohol-free". In Australia, the term "light beer" refers to any beer with less than 3% alcohol.
