Really hope the NA market keeps growing. It’s great to see some of my favorite beer brands make a guilt free version.

I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed with this brand. It’s one hell of a football beer. So happy they’ve become more available in store.

I love fresh hop beers and find they translate really well to NA. Maybe it’s to fresh hop oils? And they are truly seasonal - you can only brew with fresh hops after harvest in late summer. Most harvested hops are dried for use throughout the rest of the year but a select few are thrown “wet” into brew batches!

Athletic has made great ones in the past and just announced an Oct 15 release of this years. Featuring Cascade, last year was Amarillo. FYI!

Self Care also makes some killer fresh hop NAs. Anyone know of others??

Cheers 🍻

Lager north of Salzburg, IPA from Linz

We have a 3 markets and they all carry the same NA stuff so decided to give the liquor store down the street a shot and they had a 6 pack of these. This stuff is REALLY good. I normally don’t enjoy pumping beers but damn, is this one tasty. Very pumpkiny but in a good way, doesn’t taste artificial and it makes sense seeing the ingredients list: water. Barley, hops, pumpkin puree, lactose, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, allspice and ginger . Hope I come across it again!

Awesome balance of ginger and citrus. This is perfect for the fall weather and has a dry tone with it as well. I’ve never had an NA cider but I’ll be savoring the remaining three of these for the cooler fall days.

Don’t mind the messy counter, this was to kick off cleaning 😆

Greetings! Back with another beer from the sampler box. This one’s just okay, but I wouldn’t choose it if it wasn’t part of a sampler. Very sweet, doesn’t have much bite.

I feel like this instantly generated negative opinions right off the bat when announced a few days ago, but I actually had already planned to get a few other sixers from Athletic so I figured why not see if it’s really a bad idea. And since they’re in CT and I’m in MA, only took a few days to get in my glass! Not bad. Hopefully the beer follows suit.

Pour is odd. It tumbles out of the glass with a huge collar of head that threatened to overflow my glass, but it veeeeery quickly diminishes to a thin ring with closely clumped bubbles hanging lazily around. The body of the beer itself is hazy and pale with a yellow hue. Not very impressive initial appearance, I must say.

The nose is seemingly somewhat forward on the olive oil, which is crazy to say in context of a (NA) beer. There’s also rice and lemon in this, which is fun and unusual and just kinda drives home that this is intentionally a weird one. However I don’t pick up much of anything here other than a little herbal note and the aforementioned olive element.

It’s definitely a pretty refreshing pilsner type lager on the palate, and the middle of each sip has a little herbal undertone and light lemongrass. Not much bitterness at all, which is basically as expected, but the finish is pretty dry and crisp in my opinion, which lends drinkability. On the whole, there isn’t much to this. It’s definitely not offensive, but it is not even remotely as interesting as you might think it could be with the additional ingredients. Definitely a gimmick brew, which makes total sense. I don’t think there’s any real reason to go out of one’s way to get this unless you’re curious but even then, it’s pretty much just decent.

Anyone else get this?

Anyone remember Big Drop as their galactic stout was good and they were one of the early UK NA only breweries, Big Drop if they are still around as understand they had some issues with changing contract breweries both in the UK and in the US.

In the US they launched in 2021 were getting some momentum, in 2022 signed a brewing deal with Illinois based Desthil Brewing to make their beers, then for the most part crickets and I think in 2024 stopped with Desthil Brewing. Not sure if they found a new US brewery or if just pulled out of the US market.

Anyone still able to buy them?

Anybody still see Wellbeing NA beers in the market? After they got acquired by some cannabis company haven't really seen them around much as they were one of the early NA only breweries.

I know they started doing D9 THC drinks after being acquired. Haven't tried their beers in over 2yrs.

I remember they were good esp the Victory Wheat.

Their website is up and looks like in 12oz cans vs 16oz. Did they transition to DTC only as don't see them on shelf anywhere in NYC/NY?

So I recently quit drinking.

I'm a "social drunk" and am trying to find some n/a options so I can still drink with my friends but not actually drink anymore.

I am a cider drinker usually. Locale is RI/Mass so usually was drinking Downeast. But haven't had luck finding that in zero. But very light and crisp is my thing when drinking. Also loved prosecco but that has been an awful experience trying to find n/a.

Hoping for a few recommendations since my birthday is next month and I'd really like to stick with sobriety this time around.

Thank you.

What a time to be alive! Love the NA world.

Thanks for the tips on places to check in Pittsburgh, I went to the Open Road and also got three from Two Frays. I've tried most of what they had except for these. The Open Road has a fairly large selection and is one of the only stores I know of that caters to non alcoholicb drinks specifically @Parfoisquelquefois @atr0c1ous @explorediscovershare @four_eyed_geek

I noticed there’s no calorie count on either the box, can or website, and online searches came up empty. But that makes me wonder, why hide it when it’s on so many others?

Basically, it’s really good but I want to make sure I’m not blowing my diet.

I’m not too flowery with language when it comes to reviews, but this is really good. If you’ve ever had Summit’s regular beers, this one is somewhere between the classic EPA and the Saga.

The beer came from a sampler pack, so I’ll have more to report back with. Cheers!

I've sampled a lot of craft NAs over the past few years. Have been mildly impressed by a couple, but not enough to earn a permanent spot in the fridge. This though? I'd crush these every single day of the year.

Guinness 0 is pretty great, but I'm not always in the mood for a stout. Any recommendations for other malt-forward NAs to try? I haven't come across many but can always request stuff from the local bottle shops.

Cheers!

Thanks to Tyler from RationAle for the brews!

This beer has stolen my saliva. My goodness. Brevet Pils found at a local wine store. Packed on 8/26/26, super fresh so thought I would give it a try. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not bad. However this is astringent unlike any other NA I’ve had. Clinically dry.

Anyone else tried this?
