5. Carlsberg
Did you know that Carlsberg makes non-alcoholic beer, too? Enjoy a chilled pint minus the booze with the Carlsberg Alcohol-free Pilsner. Also known as Carlsberg 0.0 (due to its 0.0% ABV), this non-alcoholic beer is designed to be as sharp, crisp, and refreshing as a traditional lager (and we agree, having tried it ourselves!). It’s brewed in the same way as the classic Carlsberg Pilsner, before having its alcohol removed. Available at most convenience stores and supermarkets across Hong Kong, this alcohol-free beer is one of our go-tos for celebrating responsibly.
