“Stella Artois Non-alcoholic” is 0.5% alcohol-by-volume. The concentration of extracts in the initial mash is 6.5 ± 0.2%.

“Stella Artois Non-alcoholic" will be distributed throughout the Ukraine but it will be especially concern the HoReKa supermarket chain. The brew will be rolled out in 0.33 and 0.5 l bottles. The label is based on the original design of “Stella Artois” label. The retail price will amount for about 4.40 UAH for a 0.5l bottle.
