Looking to embark on a healthier lifestyle without alcohol? Then check out some of these tasty NA beers in the New Year.
Samuel Adams – Just The Haze IPA
This NA Indian Pale Ale is one of the best in the United States. It’s rich in flavor, with fruity and hoppy undertones. The Sam Adams staff, based in Boston, Mass., took two years to perfect this beer. They have been winning awards around the country — and the world — since.
Guinness 0.0 – Irish Stout
A perfect NA Stout for winter. Hailing from Dublin, Ireland, the original Guinness recipe with alcohol ranks as one of the lowest at 4% ABV. With this NA version, they use a cold filtration method to extract the remaining 4%, making this beer smooth in character and taste.
Athletic Winter Wonder – Amber Ale
Athletic’s best creation to date. This seasonal brew is full of warm, wintry spices, with notes of citrus, pine and cinnamon. Ranking a close second is their Atlética, a Mexican-style copper ale, which can be enjoyed year round.
Clausthaler – Original Lager
Created in the late 1970s with strict adherence to the German purity laws, Clausthaler’s Original has been a main staple in the NA beer industry for a long time. Crisp, clean and refreshing.
Stella Artois – Lager
One of the more flavorful and palatable NA lagers on the market. First made in Belgium as a Christmas beer in 1926, Stella Artois celebrates its 100th year anniversary this year.
Worth Mentioning:
The non-alcoholic beer industry has grown tremendously in recent years. According to the Beer Institute, a trade association for the American brewing industry, NA sales climbed 22% last year. Thankfully, the rise in popularity means there is an abundance of good ones to choose from. Other noteworthy producers of respected NA beers: Sierra Nevada, Peroni, Weihenstephan, Blue Moon, Corona, and Lagunitas.
