Does Guinness Zero have any alcohol?

By the Stout Guide team · Updated 8 November 2026

Quick answerGuinness 0.0 is labelled 0.0% ABV. Guinness brews it as normal Guinness, then removes the alcohol.

0.0% vs 0.5%

In England, government labelling guidance says "alcohol free" means no more than 0.05% ABV, "de-alcoholised" no more than 0.5% and "low alcohol" no more than 1.2%. Most craft alcohol-free beers are 0.5%, the standard in much of Europe, and the government has committed to consult on raising the "alcohol free" limit to 0.5%.
