I've been positively satisfied by the flurry of non-alcoholic beer options coming to market. I never really much cared for the alcohol, I just like the taste and texture. Especially that it can be bought at supermarkets, no need to make a separate purchase at the bottle shop. And, without the additional taxes, much cheaper too.

This is a good option at $6.06/L — curiously made in Italy? 🤔 — but there are others:

But the cheapest of all (and satisfactorily so) is:

    There's roughly $7 excise per 6 pack (5%,330ml) = $28 case.

    Asahi 5% DM/First Choice sells $54 24pk ($13.50/6pk). Asahi 0.0 is sold at First Choice $46 24pk ($11.50/6pk).

    Considering normal price for this is $15, and there is no $7 excise.. seems the n/alc customer is the one paying too much actually.

        Because alcohol free beer is a relatively new product so there hasn’t been time for people to come to a conclusion about what a proper price for this product is. So the marketers are of course trying to get the most $$ they can by pricing it similar to its closest comparable product which is normal beer.

          we'd drink it if it was priced sanely. its not that complex

          • illusion99 on 08/02/2025 - 06:46

            @perfectlydark: There are literally large teams of ppl in these massive corporate companies whose only job is to determine what price to sell products at. There are hundreds of variables plugged into complex computer models that gets reviewed and monitored constantly. So yes it is quite complex. It’s not some random guy saying “oh let’s sell it for $5 and see how we go”. Maybe if it was some local business who makes 5 cartons a day then it will be less complex

            • perfectlydark on 08/02/2025 - 18:56

              @illusion99: they are doing a pretty bad job in my opinion

              • illusion99 on 08/02/2025 - 20:35

                @perfectlydark: Obviously more people than not are buying it at $15. Market forces dictate that the price will naturally come to an equilibrium between buyers and sellers. Think about it - if nobody was buying it at the price they are selling it for why would they continue to sell it at that price? Unless you think ozbargain users are the majority of buyers.

        kombucha isn’t cheap either if people are after brewed non alcoholic drinks.

    • wisdomtooth on 07/02/2025 - 21:46

      How about you compare with this actual deal, instead of with what a bottle shop charges for it? BWS charges $24.50 for a 6-pack Asahi Super Dry 5%.

      • [Deactivated] on 08/02/2025 - 01:09

        BWS currently charging $20 as a deal, still a $1 saving for going non-alc (excluding excise). Doesn’t prove non-alc beer is cheap, just that beer at BWS is ridiculously expensive.

        • wisdomtooth on 08/02/2025 - 08:40

          If you're excluding the excise, why would you expect non-alc to be cheaper? Obviously non-alc beer requires one extra step of processing to remove the alcohol. If $20 is a deal for alc beer, even more so is $12 for non-alc.

          • [Deactivated] on 08/02/2025 - 09:18

            @wisdomtooth: $20 isn’t a deal, which is why I said it only proves that beer at BWS is ridiculously expensive

        It seems you don't need alcohol to have inhibited function lmao.

        I used bottle shop pricing and can't compare pricing for Woolies because… Woolies don't sell alcohol…

        If you want "supermarket" pricing, the last Asahi 5% I got was from a Korean supermarket $11.99/6pk which even further drives in the idea of how expensive n/alc is.

        Companies are testing consumers max WTP and even they're surprised with how much suckers will pay for this.

        • wisdomtooth on 08/02/2025 - 12:08

          Woolies don't sell alcohol…

          Your argument was non-alc beer is expensive compared to alc beer net of tax differences. Ok, so just take the price of the similar alc beer from a bottle shop, and compare it with this deal.

          the last Asahi 5% I got was from a Korean supermarket $11.99/6pk which even further drives in the idea of how expensive n/alc is.

          You mean in Korea?? Or are Korean supermarkets in Australia licensed to sell alcohol? Good deal either way. Did they sell 0% Asahi too? If not, how much would they sell it for; $5/6pk??

          • pennypincher98 on 08/02/2025 - 14:34

            @wisdomtooth:

            Ok, so just take the price of the similar alc beer from a bottle shop, and compare it with this deal.

            Hence exactly why I did just that - compared the same store for both products lol, not two entirely different mediums.

            You mean in Korea?? Or are Korean supermarkets in Australia licensed to sell alcohol?

            Korean mart (in Sydney) - assuming with a liquor license, it's directly imported.

            If not, how much would they sell it for; $5/6pk??

            Probably $10 because if people saw that they would still buy. My whole point is someone is pocketing the difference somewhere in the chain.

            • wisdomtooth on 08/02/2025 - 17:01

              @pennypincher98:

              Korean mart (in Sydney) - assuming with a liquor license

              Is that a new development? I lived 15 years in Sydney till 5 years ago (in Qld since), and never once saw alcohol in marts. I mean, L&GNSW says it can't be done:

              If you conduct other business on the premises besides selling alcohol, you must sell alcohol in a separate area. For example: in a supermarket, the alcohol sales area and the cash register must be in a different area to the main part of the supermarket.

              • pennypincher98 on 08/02/2025 - 17:17

                @wisdomtooth: It's the same kind of premise as ALDI which has sold alcohol in supermarkets for years (in NSW at least). It's a separate little section, but you can buy them both in the one transaction.

                Hardly a groundbreaking idea.

                • wisdomtooth on 08/02/2025 - 17:53

                  @pennypincher98: Yeah, ALDI gets around it saying the 1st register is designated to alcohol. Clearly not the letter of the law 😄

                  I'm not taking issue with that; it's a pretty foreign concept to me that alcohol can't be sold at supermarkets. It sort of puts Australia on par with Islamic countries and Mormon Utah 😂

      It's a great alternative to a soft drink and an alcoholic drink.

      • illusion99 on 07/02/2025 - 21:58

        Water is an even greater alternative

        • igerstep on 07/02/2025 - 22:01

          How so, because it's free?

            @igerstep: Has even less sugar than soft drink and is also non alcoholic. And you can choose to have it fizzy or not fizzy

              @illusion99: Fair enough, if you're wanting something that's flavourless.

    And, without the additional taxes, much cheaper too.

    They'll no.doubt raise the price next week with all the other beers and blame Govt excise.

    It's fairly profitable for the breweries.
    Coles/Liquorland/1stC has probably the best two
    Tinnies & Uberbrau.

          if it’s 0.5% or less it’s classed as non alcaholic according to victorian liquor licensing laws.

      Many reasons…
      *Health conditions.
      *Lifestyle, like during training for an event.
      *Designated driver, wanting to have more than 4 drinks without blowing over on the way home.
      *Something other than a soft drink that's not full of sugar

      I drink non-alcoholic beer during the week and find it helps me sleep better, no hangovers, I dont have to worry about being over the limit, helps keep me hitting my calorie goals ect. Tbf ive never been a massive fan of the real ashahi but this tastes very similar.

    There are some pretty nice non alcoholic beers around, Heaps Normal etc.

      It may be psychological, or maybe it ferments in the gut, but even 0.0% makes me a little light headed. I stopped drinking alcohol 5 years ago, though, so I'm probably more sensitive.

        Yeah people are weird. Also I did trail off and distracted while typing the end of the sentence there I think. I meant to write “ there is something in there that’s really bothering me as much as alcohol for the day after.”

      I have had no issues with non-alc beer.

      But I did have a bottle of non-alc wine a few months ago that gave me the worst hangover ever. It felt way worse than any alcohol hangover I've ever had. I never felt tipsy/drunk during or after drinking it - it was just the hangover.

      So yeah, I believe you.

            @smartProverble: To me, getting drunk was the price to pay for the pleasure of savouring beer. With that out of the way, it's an extra bonus beside the absence of excise tax, and the convenience of buying it at grocery store.
