A third of the calories of regular beer, zero added sugar, and an ABV number we verify in a lab, not on a vibe.

How to read these figures. These figures are indicative. They are calculated from the recipe specification and have not been measured yet. Laboratory testing of the first production batch will confirm or correct them before launch.
Why so much lighter? Alcohol carries ~7 kcal per gram — most of a regular beer's calories. Leave the alcohol out and most of those calories never make it into the can.
Water, Barley Malt, Hops, Yeast
SOMA IPA additionally contains oats and wheat. SOMA Belgian Wit contains wheat, orange peel, and coriander. SOMA Stout and SOMA Caffeinated Stout add roasted barley and chocolate malt, and the Caffeinated Stout is brewed with cold-brew coffee.
No artificial flavors, no preservatives, no added sugar, no sweeteners. The beer flavor comes from brewing.
One of the five. SOMA Caffeinated Stout (Dark Arts Espresso) is brewed with cold-brew coffee, so its caffeine is naturally occurring coffee caffeine rather than an added stimulant. Every other SOMA — the Lager, the IPA, the Belgian Wit and the regular Dark Arts stout — contains no caffeine at all.
The exact figure per can is measured in the laboratory with the first production batch and printed on the label. We are not publishing a number before we have measured it. As a rough guide until then, a coffee stout of this style sits well below a cup of filter coffee and closer to a cola.
Every batch is tested to verify alcohol content below 0.5% ABV. India’s food regulations define an alcoholic beverage as one with more than 0.5% ABV, and other countries draw the line in other places, as our country-by-country page shows. For context, that trace level is comparable to kombucha, some fruit juices, and very ripe bananas.
Drinks at or under 0.5% ABV, like SOMA, are regulated as food under FSSAI rules. Questions about our testing? Write to getsoma.store@gmail.com.
SOMA is brewed from barley and contains gluten. SOMA IPA also contains oats and wheat. Free from milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, and soy.
<0.5% ABV is trace-level, but it is not absolute zero. If you avoid alcohol entirely for medical, religious, or personal reasons — including pregnancy or recovery — please make that call with your doctor or your own judgment. We will always be straight with you about what is in the can.
False — at least for ours. SOMA is brewed exactly like craft beer: mashed, boiled, hopped, and fermented. The yeast is a maltose-negative strain that cannot eat maltose, the main sugar in wort, so it builds the flavor of a fermented beer and leaves the alcohol under 0.5% ABV. Cheap NA beers skip fermentation; that is where the soda comparison comes from.
For a healthy adult drinking a few cans over an evening, the practical answer is no. A 500ml can at 0.5% ABV holds at most 2.5ml of alcohol, about a quarter of what an average adult processes in an hour. The trace is still not zero, so anyone who must avoid all alcohol should treat it as a drink that contains some.
Depends on the beer. Radler-style malt drinks add fruit syrup and land at 90-120 calories. SOMA has no added sugar: every carb comes from malt, nothing from a syrup bottle. 11-20g carbs per 500ml can.
For hydration, sure. But nobody reaches for NA beer instead of water — they reach for it instead of regular beer (over 200 kcal a can and a hangover) or a sugary mocktail (200+ kcal). against those, 63-99 calories with zero sugar wins comfortably.
SOMA is a beer with the alcohol kept under 0.5% ABV. It is not a health drink, a protein source or a miracle. It will not boost your immune system or improve your marathon time. It is a good craft beer with very little alcohol in it, and we are honest about what it is and what it is not.
