Crafting Excellence in Non-Alcoholic Beer


The Invention of Controlled Fermentation


At the heart of Clausthaler's success lies the groundbreaking invention of the controlled fermentation process. This pioneering technique revolutionised the production of non-alcoholic beer, allowing for the creation of a beverage that retained the authentic taste of beer while eliminating the need for high alcohol content. The controlled fermentation process involves meticulous oversight of the brewing environment, ensuring that the yeast ferments only a minimal amount of sugars, leaving the alcohol content below 0.5%. This innovation not only preserved the distinctive beer flavour but also marked a turning point in the non-alcoholic brewing industry.


Excellence Rewarded: Awards and Accolades: 


Clausthaler's commitment to excellence has not gone unnoticed, earning the brand a plethora of awards and accolades. From international beer competitions to industry recognition, Clausthaler has consistently stood out in blind tastings against both alcoholic and non-alcoholic counterparts. The brand has received commendations for its taste, aroma, and overall brewing mastery, reinforcing its position as a frontrunner in the non-alcoholic beer category.

Clausthaler's trophy cabinet boasts prestigious awards such as the World Beer Awards, where it clinched gold for Best Non-Alcoholic Beer. This recognition underscores the brand's dedication to maintaining the highest standards in taste and quality. The consistent acknowledgment by industry experts and beer enthusiasts alike further solidifies Clausthaler's reputation as a leader in the non-alcoholic beverage market.


Quality Ingredients & Brewing Mastery: 


Coupled with the innovative Controlled Fermentation process, the secret to Clausthaler's success lies in its unwavering commitment to quality ingredients. The brand sources only the finest ingredients and the Original & Dry Hopped variants adhere to traditional brewing principles that have been refined over centuries – Reinheitsgebot. Also known as the German Beer Purity Law, this dictates that only four natural ingredients – water, malted barley, hops and yeast are used to create a beer. This is said to be the oldest, still-enforced food regulation in the world, having been in place since 1516.

This combination of ingredients and technique ensures that the flavours are carefully crafted, resulting in non-alcoholic beers that mirrors the complexity and full-bodied nature of its alcoholic counterparts.

After spending decades perfecting Clausthaler Original into the gold standard of non-alcoholic beer, the Clausthaler brew masters began to expand the variety of Clausthaler tastes on offer. Clausthaler now caters to diverse palates with a wide range of options, offering something for every beer enthusiast; from the crisp and refreshing Lager, the malty & hoppy Dry Hopped, through to the fruity & refreshing Radler’s. This versatility has allowed Clausthaler to appeal to a broad audience, transcending the boundaries of the non-alcoholic beverage market.
