Schneider Helles Alkoholfrei is the non-alcoholic counterpart to a style new to Schneider's portfolio. The brewery, long associated with wheat beer, relaunched bottom-fermented brewing in 2021 after a gap of more than 40 years, and this AF Helles follows from that return. The malt base draws on barley from the Gäuboden, a fertile lowland region along the Danube, while Hallertauer Mittelfrüh and Hersbrucker hops contribute a measured bitterness of 17 IBU.
