Is Abv Required on Beer Labels

No, federal malt beverage labeling laws make it optional (though they do describe standards the label must meet if brewers do choose to add the alcohol content label.) State laws, however, may require a brewer to add alcohol content to the label.

What needs to be included on a beer label?

• Brand Name.
• Class & Type Designation.
• Name & Address of Producer/Bottler.
• Net Contents.
• Alcohol Content.
• Health Warning.
• Country of Origin (for imported beverages)
• Draft or Draught.

Does alcohol content have to be labeled?

A statement of alcohol content is optional unless it is required by or prohibited by State law. Unless that same State law says something different, alcohol content must be expressed in percent by volume. These terms can also be used to describe malt beverages on labeling: Low alcohol less than 2.5% alcohol by volume.
