There’s so many different terms when it comes to understanding beer. APA. IPA. IBU. ABV. What do they even mean? Well, we’re only going to talk about ABV right now but you can find the other meanings in the rest of our blog posts. 

ABV stands for Alcohol by Volume (no, not average booze volume). It basically describes how much alcohol is in a drink and is displayed as a percentage. So it’s reasonable to assume that a beer with a low ABV percentage has less alcohol. Beers usually have between 3.5%-5% ABV so anything below this is considered low alcohol.  

To be considered alcohol free, a beer needs to have 0.5% or lower. Which, doesn’t sound like it’s actually alcohol free but it is legally considered alcohol free at that point. That’s about the same alcohol content as bread, bananas, and fruit juices for reference.

Sometimes, you’ll see a low-alcohol beer described as light beer.

Whether you’re a seasoned Beavertown reader (thank you, btw) or are new to the Beavertown world (welcome!), you’ll notice we talk about low alcohol and alcohol free beers in different ways. There is actually a difference – it’s not just a case of our writers needing to mix it up. 

Low alcohol beer describes any of our beers with a lower-than-normal ABV – think super session IPAs like Satellite.

Alcohol free beers are brews that have lower alcohol levels than the legal amount to be considered alcohol free. The limit is 0.5% but Lazer Crush is 0.3% ABV, for example. It’s a small but important distinction.
