Non-Alcoholic Beer 101

So, you're looking to enjoy a cold one without the buzz? Non-alcoholic beer might just be the answer you’ve been looking for. But wait, what exactly is non-alcoholic beer? Let's dive into the world of NA beer together!

 

What's the Deal with Non-Alcoholic Beer?

 

Non-alcoholic beer, or NA beer for short, has experienced a recent revolution, and the landscape of NA beer has changed entirely. Federally, “non-alcoholic” means a brew that contains less than 0.5% ABV (alcohol by volume).  

  

How is Non-Alcoholic Beer Made?

 

Here at Athletic Brewing, our founders pioneered a proprietary method, re-engineering nearly every step through hundreds of small-batch trials.  For the most part, we use the same ingredients as full-strength beer: water, hops, malt, and yeast. This means we can brew a huge range of styles from IPAs to sours, and other tasty innovations you’d find at the best craft breweries in the world. Learn More about our process.
