I was trying to escape beer to save money, but at $2 a can non-alcoholic is even more expensive despite seemingly less taxes needing to be paid.

Is non-alcoholic beer reallly more expensive than the regular? In Europe they're on par in most places. In Northern Europe (Norway, Denmark) it's even significantly cheaper due to taxes.

Yes, it tends to be pricier. It's not addictive, so they need bigger margins that they can't make up in volume.

It’s actually a more costly process to make non alcoholic beer, than with alcohol.

[–] Nouveau_Burnswick@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The process? Distillation method, sure. Limited fermentation, fermentation free, and dilution are quite similar to their alcoholised counterparts.

The ingredient/supply costs for non-alcoholic beer is more expensive; which is mostly a volume thing, but their is a portion of that related to precision required for a near-beer not required for a normal beer.
