Stats NZ's revealed the volume of beer for consumption's risen 5.4 percent to 296 million litres - after successive years of declines.
Volumes of wine and spirits have fallen.
Brewers Association Executive Director, Dylan Firth, says low-carb beer makes up about 20 percent of the market - and is steadily becoming the drink of choice.
He says a lot of mainstream and craft brands are shifting to those options - largely driven by consumer preferences.
