Back in 2023 we covered the rise of Non-Alcoholic beers (The Rise of Non-Alcoholic Beer: A Guide to the Best Non Alcoholic Brews) and in the time since then, the non-alcoholic craft beer (and beer and other drinks as well) market has only boomed. So I felt like it was time to expand the original article and show how the trends have changed (or mostly in this case just exploded) and just how popular this market has become.

Non-alcoholic beer has continued its meteoric rise, with the market expected to expand by 4% volume CAGR through 2028. This growth is driven by increasing health consciousness, changing social norms, and significant improvements in taste and variety. Let’s explore the latest trends and top picks for non-alcoholic beers in 2025.

Market Trends

Expanding Availability

Non-alcoholic beer is becoming increasingly accessible. In the UK, 86% of pubs now offer a no-or-low beer option, with draught options expected to grow significantly. Major airlines have also started carrying NA beer, expanding its reach to new consumers.

The trend of expanding availability is particularly evident in the airline industry, with multiple carriers introducing non-alcoholic beer options. JetBlue became the first major U.S. airline to offer non-alcoholic beer on domestic flights, partnering with Athletic Brewing to serve their Upside Dawn Golden ale. Similarly, Alaska Airlines has introduced Best Day Brewing’s Kölsch as a complimentary option in premium classes. The growth extends beyond airlines and pubs, with retail sales showing significant momentum. According to recent data, dollar sales for non-alcoholic beer increased by 29.2%, reaching nearly $368.7 million, while case sales were up 20.3%. This expansion is driven by increasing consumer demand for healthier beverage alternatives and more inclusive drinking options, signaling a broader cultural shift towards non-alcoholic alternatives.

Technological Advancements

Brewing technology has made significant strides, addressing previous issues with bland or off-flavors. Innovations in yeast strains, vacuum distillation, and membrane filtration have allowed brewers to create non-alcoholic beers that closely mimic their alcoholic counterparts.

Mainstream Acceptance

Non-alcoholic beer is no longer viewed as a niche product. Large breweries and craft players alike are expanding their non-alcoholic offerings, with some even creating zero-proof versions of their flagship beers. Social acceptance has grown, with surveys indicating that consumers increasingly view non-alcoholic beer as “cool” or “respectable”.

The non-alcoholic beer market is benefiting from the growing focus on fitness and wellness.

Many brands are also developing lower-calorie and “better-for-you” options to cater to this demographic.

With improving taste profiles, expanding distribution, and changing consumer preferences, non-alcoholic beer is cementing its place as a mainstream beverage option.

Its Dry January, and you’ve made it to day three. Are you already craving an IPA? Any kind of beer? Even a driplet, a drop, a single hop flavored droplet of beer? Well then, Flying Dog’s DeepFake might just be the answer for you.

Flying Dog’s DeepFake Non-Alcoholic IPA is going to be right up your alley if you are looking for a kick ass hazy IPA but without the alcohol. (Now of course, even non-alcoholic beers do have some level of alcohol – in this case its less than 0.5% ABV, as is most non-alcoholic beers.)

You are also getting a low calorie beer with DeepFake as well – coming in at only 39 calories “per can”. (In this case the cans are 12 oz cans.) Thats certainly a lot lower than most beers on the market, especially the heavy beers like stouts, porters, barleywines, Belgians, etc. And even some of the hazier and adjunct heavy milkshake IPAs as well.

All of this makes this a no brainer for Dry January, oh what, we didn’t even get to the taste yet? Oh well, why didn’t you ask already!

What on the surface might smell and taste like an IPA, is in fact a masterful forgery engineered to trick the senses – a smooth drinking non-alcoholic brew bursting with delicious hop flavor. Only 39 calories per can!

Flying Dog – Deep Fake

Brewed with Mosaic, Citra, and Simcoe hops, makes this a perfect “IPA Imposter”. Honestly, it takes a double take and a double sip to realize your not drinking a real Hazy IPA and instead drinking a non-alcoholic beer.

So during Dry January – or any time you’re reaching for a non-alcoholic beer – grab DeepFake and give it a try. You will certainly be surprised that its not a real IPA!

Recently Flying Dog Brewing Company has been in the news with their being purchased by FX Matt (Saranac Brewing). (FX Matt Brewing Company Acquires Flying Dog Brewery) Which has completely changed the landscape of craft beer in the East Coast area.

Momentum Brewery has recently stomped its footprint in the non-alcoholic beverage category with the debut of two ground-breaking near-beers: Momentum Golden and Momentum Hazy IPA. The New York-based company is seeking to revolutionize the craft beer experience by canning the best tasting non-alcoholic brews that can be savored by anyone at any given moment. 

Relying on tried-and-true recipes formulated by renowned German brewmaster Alexander Himburg and crafted at the award-winning Great South Bay Brewery in Bay Shore, New York, these beers promise to deliver all the flavor and taste one would expect from a great beer without the alcohol content. In addition, their premium “hoppy” beverages contain 50% fewer calories than their competitors.

As individuals opt for healthier and mindful drinking choices, the demand for non-alcoholic beverages has skyrocketed. Consumers are no longer content with lackluster options; instead, they seek flavorful alternatives that can elegantly balance taste and health benefits. Momentum Brewery’s new process caters precisely to this growing market by offering non-alcoholic beers that don’t compromise on flavor or quality.

Himburg, a technical German brewer from the innovative HimburgsBraukunstkeller, is setting the bar for what non-alcoholic beer is supposed to look like and taste like thanks to the use of bold techniques and secret ingredients. These unique recipes draw out the dankest oils from the choicest hops to create flavors and aromas once reserved for medal-worthy ales and lagers. Himburg’s proprietary method ensures each tank is kissed to perfection; quality controlled in every single batch. 

Momentum Brewery is strongly backed by industry veterans Lars Dahlhaus and Wolfgang Menzel and their three decades worth of combined expertise in the beverage industry. They are forward-thinking brand ambassadors who share an unrelenting vision for growing Momentum into the country’s largest non-alcoholic beverage producer.

Renowned German Brewmaster Brings Proprietary Method to N/A Beverage Category

Why? Because their product tastes better than anything else on the market. It is brewed to a higher standard. And their insights into consumer preferences and market trends have shaped the brewery’s offerings, ensuring they cater to the evolving needs of non-alcoholic beverage enthusiasts.

“It takes an exceptional brewing talent to create non-alcoholic beers that can rival their alcoholic counterparts,” Dahlhaus said. “Alexander Himburg, a renowned German brewmaster, has meticulously formulated Momentum Brewery’s craft non-alcoholic brews. Produced at the Great South Bay Brewery, the location’s rich brewing history further enhances the quality and character of our beverages.”

Their mission to create non-alcoholic brews that perfectly complement different moments of consumption, whether it be in private as a post-workout treat or in a lively social setting as a suitable substitute for real beer. The brewery’s first release – Non-Alcoholic Golden – is packed with invigorating flavors and an ideal balance, meant to provide a refreshing thirst-quencher after a workout or outdoor adventure. Meanwhile, their second release – Non-Alcoholic Hazy IPA – was brewed for socializing with friends at upscale restaurants and bars, thanks to an enticing aroma along with a hop-forward flavor and smooth texture. 

With an experienced team in tow, Momentum Brewery is primed for aggressive growth and recognition. The brewery has partnered with expanding distributor ProofNoMore — the largest non-alcoholic marketplace in the country — to guarantee nationwide distribution and accessibility. This strategic move will enable Momentum to reach a broader audience of health-conscious consumers while establishing its presence within the booming non-alcoholic beverage market.

Momentum Brewery is currently crowdfunding on IndieGoGo and is available for pre-order online at ProofNoMore.com. Initial distribution will focus on retailers across the New York metro area, and the Great South Bay Brewery will exclusively feature Momentum N/A Beers at their taprooms.

We are working on a massive project here at The Beer Thrillers. We are creating a map of all of the breweries across the United States. State by state we are adding maps of all of the different states with every brewery in each state. (We will eventually get to the US Territories, as well as the Canadian Provinces, and possibly more countries; as well as doing some fun maps like a map of all the breweries we’ve been to, and other fun maps.) You can find the brewery maps here:

• MAPS OF BREWERIES

We are also working on a project of creating printable and downloadable PDFs and resources to be able to check and keep track of all of the breweries you’ve been to. So stay tuned for that project once we are finished with the Brewery Maps of the US States.

Sierra Nevada’s Trail Pass starts a new adventure in non-alcoholic brewing. After more than 5 years of development, and propelled by an innovative yeast strain, the iconic brewery believes Trail Pass IPA and Trail Pass Golden will turn heads.

Trail Pass Non-Alcoholic Brews – Untappd Blog

Just in time for Dry January. A yearly tradition for some people to get back in shape or to curb and moderate themselves after the excess of the end of year holidays (from Thanksgiving to Christmas to New Years Eve/Day).

Dry January is also the bane of most craft breweries. A lull in their years, with people not drinking as much, not having as much disposable income due to the holidays, and with travel down due to weather, etc.

If a craft drinker is looking for that non-alcoholic option, but still wants a complete beer experience, this is gonna do it for them.

James Conery, Innovation Brewmaster at Sierra Nevada

Sierra Nevada Brewing uses traditional method, not alcohol extraction to brew Trail Pass. This creates a more full and bold flavor, and they are still able to dial it in to under 0.5% ABV (which is where most non-alcohol beers reside).

There are two Trail Pass variants. The citrus and pine forward Trail Pass IPA and the biscuity malt and smooth forward Trail Pass Golden.

Sierra Nevada Trail Pass is currently available online, shipping to select states. Find it in stores nationwide beginning January 2024.

We know Dry January is coming up soon, so many people are looking at Non – Alcoholic alternatives. (See our article: The Rise of Non-Alcoholic Beer: A Guide to the Best Non Alcoholic Brews)

Surly Brewing has just the new (non-alcoholic) beer option for you!

From their press release:

At Surly,

we’ve frequently been asked when we’ll make an N/A. Our answer has been consistent: When we can make one that tastes good. It’s not easy! If you’ve dabbled in them, you know what we mean.

We’re beyond fortunate to have a brewing team that can tackle this problem, use advances in brewing technology and ingredients, and R&D solutions until we arrive at Outlook Good Hoppy Pale, Surly’s first ever non-alcoholic beer.

Outlook Good delivers the sturdy malt backbone and aromatic hop profile any craft beer enthusiast would want from a full-flavored pale ale, absent the alcohol. Lifestyle changes are hard! The beer should at least taste good, you know?

Outlook Good joins Surly’s impressive portfolio of non-alcoholic beverages. Our Sparkling Hop Water uses the Citra and Mosaic hops that power our legendary Axe Man IPA, and our line of Take Five and Double Take THC beverages are ideal for those who’ve adopted the “California sober” lifestyle. You can find it 6-packs of 12 oz. cans in all Surly markets beginning the week of December 18th.

Surly Brewing Company – Press Release: Outlook Good (Non-Alcoholic Hoppy Pale)

Met Outlook Good Non-Alcoholic Hoppy Pale

Lets get to meet Outlook Good Non-Alcoholic Hoppy Pale. Breaking down Outlook Good:

• Hops: Citra, Mosaic, Warrior
• Malt: Golden Promise, Vienna, Carafoam, Acidulated, Honey Malt
• Yeast: Lallemand Lona
• Pour: Amber
• Bitterness: Medium
• ABV: < 0.5%

(All non-alcoholic beers have some level of alcohol, typically below the 1% threshold. This is why they are not considered craft beverages or sodas but are instead listed as non-alcoholic beers.)

Surly Brewing Co

Here is an article we’ve previously written about Surly Brewing Co:

• Beer Review: Furious IPA (Surly Brewing Company)

For More Information on Surly Brewing Co

The following comes from Untappd. Surly Brewing Company is a regional brewery from Minneapolis, MN. They have 646 unique beers and over 1.5 Million ratings, with a global average rating of 3.91 (as of 12.26.23). Their Untappd description reads: You do enough settling. That’s part of life. You owe it to yourself to drink a beer that doesn’t settle. Not settling drives Surly. It’s what drove us to convert a suburban Minneapolis abrasives factory to a brewery in 2004. It’s what drove Surly’s owner, Omar Ansari, to go bar to bar, asking them to carry our beer. It’s what drove us to earn medals from the Great American Beer Festival and Best Brewery in America honors. It’s what drove us to change a Minnesota law that had been on the books since Prohibition. It’s what drove us to build a state-of-the-art destination brewery in the heart of the Twin Cities in 2014 featuring a massive beer hall, pizza place, outdoor beer garden, company store and event center. And it’s what drives us today. Surly’s not for everyone. It’s for you.

Non – Alcoholic Beer

The popularity of Non – Alcoholic beer has skyrocketed in recent years. With pregnant women, designated drivers, and many more enjoying them while still hanging out with spouses, loved ones, friends, and family at craft breweries.

Just yesterday we reviewed Athletic Brewing Company’s “Run Wild IPA”, you can find that review here: Beer Review: Run Wild IPA (Non – Alcoholic Beer) (Athletic Brewing Company). So today’s article is the second in a series (we have a few more Athletic Brewing Company non – alcoholic beers to review). I hope you’ll stick around to check them all out!

You can find our full article on non – alcoholic beers here: The Rise of Non-Alcoholic Beer: A Guide to the Best Non Alcoholic Brews.

You can also find Amy’s weekly column discussing how she missed having real beer while pregnant, and did enjoy a few non – alcoholic ones here: I’ve Missed Drinking (A Look at Non Alcoholic Beers).

Our friends from Let Us Drink Beer blog, guest wrote a post for us about the best non – alcoholic beers back in 2021. You can find that here: Best Non-Alcoholic Beers For 2021.

Non-alcoholic craft beer has come a long way in recent years, and Athletic Brewing Company’s Run Wild IPA is a shining example of this innovation. Crafted with meticulous care, this IPA showcases the remarkable potential of non-alcoholic beer, proving that you don’t need alcohol to experience the full-bodied flavors and complexity of a well-crafted brew. Run Wild IPA allows those who choose to abstain from alcohol to indulge in the vibrant world of craft beer without compromising their lifestyle choices.

What sets Run Wild IPA apart is its ability to capture the essence of a traditional IPA, even without the alcohol content. The master brewers at Athletic Brewing Company have skillfully harnessed the power of hops, carefully selecting varieties that deliver the signature bitterness and aromatic qualities that make IPAs so beloved. The result is a non-alcoholic IPA that boasts a hop-forward profile with layers of flavor, creating a drinking experience that rivals its alcoholic counterparts.

The absence of alcohol in Run Wild IPA doesn’t mean it lacks character or depth. On the contrary, this brew showcases the artistry and creativity of the brewing process. By focusing on the careful combination of hops, malts, and yeast, Athletic Brewing Company has created a non-alcoholic IPA that satisfies not only the taste buds but also the desire for a well-rounded, fulfilling beer experience. Run Wild IPA challenges preconceived notions and invites everyone to embrace the world of craft beer, regardless of their relationship with alcohol.

Non – Alcoholic Beer

The popularity of Non – Alcoholic beer has skyrocketed in recent years. With pregnant women, designated drivers, and many more enjoying them while still hanging out with spouses, loved ones, friends, and family at craft breweries.

You can find our full article on non – alcoholic beers here: The Rise of Non-Alcoholic Beer: A Guide to the Best Non Alcoholic Brews.

You can also find Amy’s weekly column discussing how she missed having real beer while pregnant, and did enjoy a few non – alcoholic ones here: I’ve Missed Drinking (A Look at Non Alcoholic Beers).

Our friends from Let Us Drink Beer blog, guest wrote a post for us about the best non – alcoholic beers back in 2021. You can find that here: Best Non-Alcoholic Beers For 2021.

Non-alcoholic craft beer has come a long way in recent years, and Athletic Brewing Company’s Run Wild IPA is a shining example of this innovation. Crafted with meticulous care, this IPA showcases the remarkable potential of non-alcoholic beer, proving that you don’t need alcohol to experience the full-bodied flavors and complexity of a well-crafted brew. Run Wild IPA allows those who choose to abstain from alcohol to indulge in the vibrant world of craft beer without compromising their lifestyle choices.

What sets Run Wild IPA apart is its ability to capture the essence of a traditional IPA, even without the alcohol content. The master brewers at Athletic Brewing Company have skillfully harnessed the power of hops, carefully selecting varieties that deliver the signature bitterness and aromatic qualities that make IPAs so beloved. The result is a non-alcoholic IPA that boasts a hop-forward profile with layers of flavor, creating a drinking experience that rivals its alcoholic counterparts.

The absence of alcohol in Run Wild IPA doesn’t mean it lacks character or depth. On the contrary, this brew showcases the artistry and creativity of the brewing process. By focusing on the careful combination of hops, malts, and yeast, Athletic Brewing Company has created a non-alcoholic IPA that satisfies not only the taste buds but also the desire for a well-rounded, fulfilling beer experience. Run Wild IPA challenges preconceived notions and invites everyone to embrace the world of craft beer, regardless of their relationship with alcohol.

Non Alcoholic Beers

Non alcoholic beers have been on the rise. As Amy’s article – I’ve Missed Drinking (A Look at Non Alcoholic Beers) – examines the non alcoholic beers and craft sodas she had while pregnant and unable to drink; more and more breweries have non alcoholic options or at least craft soda options. Which is great for pregnant ladies, non drinkers, and designated drivers (DDs).

So let’s take a look at the rise of non alcoholic beers and craft sodas.

What is Non Alcoholic Beer?

A non alcoholic Saison Amy got at RAR Brewing (pictured with Ben’s craft beer flight from RAR Brewing).

Non – alcoholic beer, also known as “near beer” or “alcohol-free beer,” is a type of beer that has had its alcohol content removed or reduced to a negligible level. This type of beer is gaining popularity among those who are health – conscious, pregnant women, designated drivers, and those who want to enjoy the taste of beer without the negative effects of alcohol.

Non-alcoholic beer is brewed just like regular beer, but the alcohol is removed through a process called reverse osmosis, vacuum distillation, or by stopping fermentation before the alcohol level gets too high. The end result is a beer that looks and tastes like regular beer, but contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume (ABV).

One of the benefits of non-alcoholic beer is that it can be enjoyed at any time without the risk of becoming intoxicated. This makes it a popular choice for those who are driving or operating machinery, as well as for those who are trying to reduce their alcohol consumption for health or personal reasons. It is also a good option for those who are pregnant or nursing, as well as those who are recovering from alcohol addiction.

In terms of taste, non-alcoholic beer can vary depending on the brand and brewing process. Some brands have been successful in replicating the taste of traditional beer, while others may have a slightly different flavor due to the removal of alcohol. However, many people find that non-alcoholic beer still satisfies their craving for the taste of beer.

Non-alcoholic beer also has some health benefits. It is low in calories and carbohydrates, making it a good choice for those who are watching their weight or trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It is also high in B vitamins, which are essential for maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nails. Some studies have even shown that non-alcoholic beer may help reduce the risk of heart disease and improve circulation.

Despite its benefits, non-alcoholic beer is not without its drawbacks. Some people may not enjoy the taste or find it too different from traditional beer. It can also be more expensive than regular beer due to the additional processing required to remove the alcohol.

In conclusion, non-alcoholic beer is a great option for those who want to enjoy the taste of beer without the negative effects of alcohol. It can be a good choice for designated drivers, pregnant women, and those who are trying to reduce their alcohol consumption. While it may not be for everyone, it is worth trying to see if it satisfies your craving for beer without the negative effects of alcohol.

• The Battle of the Breweries (2023) – Finals Fatal Four Way (Voting Page)
• The Battle of the Breweries (2023) – Conference Finals (Results Page)

In the upcoming two weeks I am going to do a more thorough look at the full tournament, breaking down the votes and how well each conference winner did. I will also do a full write up on each of the breweries in the Finals Fatal Four Way too, where I will list what articles we’ve done about them, and my visits to each of those places.

We are currently starting to work on creating maps of all the breweries in each state, starting geographically with Maine. So be on the lookout for these great resources to soon be popping up on the blog. Hoping to get a state done every 2 – 4 days. (Some will be quicker and easier than others, but 50 states, plus Washington D.C., will certainly take some time!)
