Father’s Day is a great chance to bring the family together and celebrate the special role that dads play in our lives. And what better way to toast the man of the hour than a cold beer?
Alcohol-free beer is the biggest trend in the industry at the moment, so there are is a huge selection to pick from. I’ve rounded up 7 from the Sans Drinks superstore so that you can find the right one for your dad.

Heaps Normal Quiet XPA
What’s it like? Heaps Normal Quiet XPA is an Aussie-made independent craft beer. It’s a refreshing pale ale that has a balanced mix of bitterness and malty sweetness all tied together with tropical citrus notes.
What are people saying? “A rather tasty XPA that almost makes you forget its a Zero. We’ll worth the investment to tuck a case away for those times when you feel like a beer, but can’t have the alcohol.”

Sobah Lemon Aspen Pilsner
What’s it like? Lemon Aspen Pilsner is an all-natural, vegan friendly, independently brewed, craft beer. Featuring flavours reminiscent of Aussie bush tucker such as tangy lemon aspen, this beer has a classic fruity pilsner taste.
What are people saying? “The lemon predominates on the front palate, but it’s not overwhelming. Not a bad drop for a non-alcoholic!”
-
Carlton Zero
What’s it like? Created by the iconic Carlton & United Breweries, this zero alcohol beer is a full-flavoured beer with slightly hoppy notes and a fruity aroma. Perfectly designed for the Australian summer, Carlton Zero packs all the punch of a classic beer.
What are people saying? “I really like the taste of this beer. It is one of my preferred non-alcoholic beers to drink. I find the taste is crisp and refreshing.”

UpFlow Hypotonic Classic Pale Ale
What’s it like? Perfect for sporty dads, this Hypotonic Classic Pale Ale is an Australian made, craft beer. The balanced flavour comes from a careful combination of Halletauer and Saaz hops alongside Munich malt.
What are people saying? “This is one of my favourite non-alcoholic beers. It was hoppy and not watery at all. This can easily replace alcoholic beers without a complaint from me.”
-
Heineken 0.0
What’s it like? Made from the same pure ingredients as regular Heineken, this beer has the aroma, fruity notes, and refreshing mouthfeel that you would expect from the iconic brand.
What are people saying? “This is my go to choice for non-alcoholic beer, it tastes like beer, the flavour is consistent and refreshing. Highly recommend.”
-
Great Northern Zero
What’s it like? Made by The Great Northern Brewery, this alcohol-free beer has a fruity aroma and a clean and crisp finish. The balanced sweetness of this golden beer is perfectly complemented with subtle bitterness.
What are people saying? “This beer is crisp; refreshing and actually tastes like it’s supposed to! Great if you’re driving or just don’t want the alcohol content.”
-
James Squires
What’s it like? This alcohol-free Australian Lager has an impressive depth of flavour. With a balance of malt and hop notes and a crisp finish, it’s everything you would expect from the iconic James Squire brand.
What are people saying? “This is pretty close to what a regular James Squire beer tastes like, bit of malt, some citrus hops – great way to enjoy a few beers without the side effects!”
