  • Really love the Upside Dawn golden ale and the lite "beer"! Great flavor and perfectly carbonated, they have really nailed the beer taste better than most other NA beers I have tried. Wish they stayed carbonated for a little longer, but that is my only complaint.

  • My boyfriend loves these! They're a good alternative when you want to drink an IPA style beer but don't want the alcohol.

  • It's one of the first to market non-alc beers so it's usually found in most bars and restaurants. However, I'd say, as a previous regular alc beer drinker, Athletic Brewing lacks the deep flavors of a regular beer. It's fine but it's not the best. Heineken 0.0 tastes great and is actually 0.0 alc, not 0.5 like Athletic Brewing. Overall, I think Athletic Brewing is fine but there are better alternatives on the market and at your local brewery.

  • A great N/A option and is readily available. I do find they can make me a bit bloated.

  • Not big on beer to start BUT I will say, my boyfriend was a huge fan and he was happy to jump on the NA trend after seeing how much variety there still is for drinking without the booze!

  • This is the best brand I've seen so far of NA beer. They're really available at restaurants and liquor stores, which is great.. But also if you browse their website, they have a huge selection of different types and flavors that you can order. Plus, their cans are beautiful designed. When I still want the experience of drinking beer, this is my go-to

  • I love that Athletic Brewing's non-alchoholic beers come in a variety of styles and have good nutrition and ingredient information clearly noted on the packaging. On the negative side I find most of their beers to be hoppy, not just their IPAs. I don't like hops and this taste profile has made their beers very hit or miss for me.

  • 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.

  • Has become a staple for me as I try to avoid having alcohol in my apartment, and find that a refreshing can of Athletic can hit the spot. Most recently, I’ve been loving their Downwinder Gose beer, which is sour, tart and quenches that need for a beer after a long day or run.

    I would love to see it on draft in more bars :)

  • Trail-Run Explorers went to Exmoor for some exhilarating trail running around the coast, up enormous hills, through woods and across fields of wild ponies. I took some Athletic Brewing beers and kept them cool for after each days running. With nearly 40 miles and 8570ft of elevation covered in 3 days these beers were enjoyed by everyone. We even took the beers to the beach afterwards and enjoyed them in the evening sun with pizza, cooler bag essential of course. Oh yes, they're alcohol free. Lovely beers.

  • One of the best NA beers out there and widely available. Always a good go to at any bar. Their hazy IPA is so good, and their app is great for ordering and has a lot of exclusive flavors.

  • Great options that have all the flavor of "real beer". This is a great alternative for people who don't want to consume alcohol and I'm glad it's becoming available even in restaurants!

  • SO GOOD! My husband and I both love these products! The variety is awesome! The calorie count/nutritional content is also incredible - especially if you're working out and counting calories/carbs/macros/etc.

  • I can't speak highly enough of this NA beer option! Tastes just like the real thing and hit the spot when I was pregnant and just wanted to "fit in" at a party or restaurant. Love that they offer these so many places these days!

  • Trying out NA options, and I love the Run Wild IPA. Hoppy for sure! It has a great depth of flavor vs other NA IPAs I've tried. Could be better on the price point though for NA.
