Guinness 0.0 Non-Alcoholic Stout is Now Available in the United States
First launched in late 2020 in Ireland and in the United Kingdom the following year, Guinness has recently launched Guinness 0.0 Non-Alcoholic Stout here in the United States. Just like its well-known alcoholic version, Guinness 0.0 is brewed at the iconic St. James Gate Brewery in Dublin, Ireland.
Over 35 years ago and prior to the current upswing in the non-alcoholic beer market, Guinness released Kaliber Pale Lager, a widely available non-alcoholic beer that continues to be sold across the globe. Now the famous Irish brewer has a new and much improved non-alcoholic beer on the market, Guinness 0.0 Non-Alcoholic Stout.
Guinness 0.0 is brewed with a new cold filtration process. This process creates the same beautifully smooth taste, perfectly balanced flavor and unique dark color of Guinness Draught, but without the alcohol. The brewing process retains the sweetness of the malt, the bitterness of the hops and the unique Guinness Roasted Barley flavors one comes to expect from the full fledged stout.
Packaged in a 14.9oz nitro can containing the famous nitrogen widget, Guinness 0.0 pours a dark ruby red color, almost black, that’s complemented by a creamy cascading head. Yes, it appears just like the classic Guinness Draught. It’s full of dark roasty flavor, one would expect. The only thing different is that the mouthfeel is a bit lighter and a tad bit less lace in the glass.
In all, Guinness 0.0 is a promising example of what an alcohol-free beer can taste like. This one is as close to the real thing that we have enjoyed. Per 12oz serving, Guinness 0.0 contains less than 0.5% ABV, 60 calories and 13.5g of carbs. Look for Guinness 0.0 at better beer stores across the United States by clicking here.

Would love to know the best way for Canadians to get their hands on Guinness zero
Your website about Guinness 0.0 being available in the US shows the picture of Guinness 0. I can get the 0 where I live in Michigan, but have had no success finding 0.0 anywhere but Ireland. Can you help me?
We are in Ireland right now and just had a look at our cans. I think it’s the same, as when we read the fine print on the back it says “contains not more than alc. 0.05 vol.” (The front of the can says 0.0 and “alcohol free”.)
So I imagine it just has to do with labelling regulations between Europe and North America.
Hi Danielle,
Ireland Guinness 0.0 = not more than 0.05 percent
US Guinness 0 = contains less than 0.5 percent
Huge difference. Guinness’s own website says 0.0 is only available in Ireland. Can you ship some to the US?
I live in Austin, the capital of Texas, so this is by no means a little podunk town in the south. I have been a Guinness fan for 15 years, and if I ever drink another beer I always compare it to Guinness, usually not favorably. Guinness 0 is the exception .I first drank it looking for a nonalcoholic beer, and found that it tastes NOTHING like Guinness original, and is the worst beer I’ve ever had. Perhaps it was stored incorrectly. It was exceedingly bitter, and had little body, (which is to be expected in any nonalcoholic brew) so do you have ANY idea why it should be so unpalatable?
