The Non-Alcoholic Beer Dispensing Boom: Why It’s the Golden Opportunity for the HORECA Sector

In recent years, the beverage consumption landscape in the HORECA channel has undergone a radical transformation. While traditional beer consumption has leveled off, non-alcoholic beer has emerged as the primary growth driver. In markets like Spain, this category already accounts for nearly 14% of total consumption, leading the European trend.

What is driving this success?

• Flavor Evolution: Technological research has enabled a massive leap in the sensory experience. Today, thanks to advanced methods like vacuum distillation, the flavor profile is nearly identical to the original beer.
• Limitless Variety: We are no longer limited to standard lagers. Today’s consumers demand 0.0% IPAs, wheat beers, and stouts.
• Breaking Taboos: Ordering a “non-alcoholic” beer is no longer a cause for stigma. The Mindful Drinking movement has normalized alcohol-free alternatives in every social setting.
• Health Consciousness: Gen Z and Millennials are leading the shift toward healthier habits, consuming an average of 20% less alcohol. 0.0% beer is positioned as a natural, hydrating, and low-calorie option.
