I initally bought their Hop Water and I loved the light taste of that. My father-in-law who doesn't drink alcohol drinks athletic brewing at family events and gets to feel included while everyone else has a beer. I think it's great if you're NA!

Athletic Brewing earns strong reviews for tasting convincingly like “real” beer—with standouts like Run Wild IPA, Free Wave Hazy, Upside Dawn, and All Out—making it a reliable choice for cutting back on alcohol without sacrificing flavor. Reviews also note drawbacks: some find flavors overly hoppy or lacking depth versus regular beer, carbonation can fade and beers can feel foamy/bloating, and the 0.5% ABV isn’t suitable for those needing 0.0%.

I wanted to love it, but it is just okay for me. I tried the upside dawn product and it was lacking a lot of substance and flavor. It performed in the middle of the NA beer pack for me, but did help me through dry Jan!

It tastes like beer. It sounds obvious, but it’s harder than you’d think judging by all the bad non-alcoholic beers out there. I think you would have a really hard time picking this one out in blind tasting with regular beers. I tried both their pilsner and IPA and definitely prefer the IPA but that is more of a preference thing. It does exactly what it is says on the tin and there is no arguing with that.

An amazing lineup of near-beer. Discovered during pregnancy and since have subscribed to keep it stocked in the house. Partner also a huge fan. This is coming from San Diegans, with very high standards for beer! Free Wave is the best if you’re looking for an IPA sub.
