Every year, the world beer awards are organized. The vast majority of the award-winning beers contain alcohol, but year after year more and more non-alcoholic beers are being praised, or new categories are being added to let non-alcoholic beers compete against each other.

In the categories ‘light’ and ‘low alcohol’ we came across a few beers that did contain alcohol, after filtering out the list of winners, 28 beers with 0.5% alcohol or less remained. In the list below you will find an overview of all winners per category, with a bit of extra information per beer and a clickthrough to the website of the beer.
