Top 10 Non-Alcoholic Beers by Type

In 2025, 30% of Americans said they were taking part in Dry January, the annual challenge to abstain from alcohol, an 8 percentage point increase from 2024. This was my fifth year in a row setting aside regular beer at home to drink non-alcoholic beer (more a “Damp January” than a Dry January some years, as I would have beer if I were out).

It’s always easier to substitute than just quit something. If you’re thinking of cutting back alcohol yourself in 2026, you might consider these non-alcoholic beers. Brewers have significantly improved the taste and quality of such beers the past few years.

Turns out the diehards who rate beers rate non-alcoholic sours the highest by quite a bit. The top 10 non-alcoholic beers, regardless of type, are identical to the top 10 sours. Here are the average ratings for each type’s top 10: Sour (3.83 rating), Porter & Stout (3.65), Lager (3.64), Pale Ale (3.49).
