Non-alcoholic beer brand


A bottle of Coors Cutter

Coors Cutter is a non-alcoholic beer produced by the Coors Brewing Company, a division of Molson Coors Beverage Company. It was introduced in the late 1980s as part of a growing trend towards non-alcoholic beverages in the United States. Coors Cutter was designed to offer the taste of beer without the effects of alcohol, catering to consumers who wanted to enjoy the flavor of beer while avoiding alcohol consumption.

History[edit | edit source]

The development of Coors Cutter was part of a broader movement in the brewing industry during the 1980s and 1990s to provide alternatives to traditional alcoholic beverages. This trend was driven by increasing health consciousness among consumers and stricter drunk driving laws. Coors Cutter was launched in 1991, following the introduction of other non-alcoholic beers by major breweries.

Production[edit | edit source]

Coors Cutter is brewed using a process similar to that of regular beer, but with an additional step to remove the alcohol. The brewing process involves the fermentation of barley, hops, and water, followed by the removal of alcohol through a technique such as vacuum distillation or reverse osmosis. This process ensures that the beverage retains the flavor profile of beer while containing less than 0.5% alcohol by volume, classifying it as non-alcoholic under U.S. regulations.

Marketing and Reception[edit | edit source]

Coors Cutter was marketed as a "beer alternative" for those who wanted to enjoy the taste of beer without the effects of alcohol. The brand targeted health-conscious consumers and those who needed to avoid alcohol for personal or professional reasons. Despite its initial popularity, the non-alcoholic beer market has remained a niche segment in the United States, with Coors Cutter facing competition from other non-alcoholic brands.

Discontinuation[edit | edit source]

In the early 2000s, Coors Cutter was discontinued as consumer preferences shifted and the brand faced increased competition from both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The decision to discontinue Coors Cutter was part of a strategic move by Coors Brewing Company to focus on its core brands and adapt to changing market dynamics.

Legacy[edit | edit source]

Although Coors Cutter is no longer available, it played a role in the evolution of the non-alcoholic beer market in the United States. The brand's introduction highlighted the potential for non-alcoholic beverages and paved the way for future innovations in the category. Today, the non-alcoholic beer market continues to grow, with new products and improved brewing techniques offering consumers a wider range of options.
