The value I have found in the NA beer is when I was out with friends had like 2 beers but knew I needed to drive later after a concert or something.I still felt like I was having a beer with friends but not pushing any legal limits.
Also they have come a long way from O’douls or Busch NA😂
I'm a buyer for a wine shop. More and more of my N/A sales (not just beer, but wine and rtd mocktails, too) are for the reason you mentioned. Many of the brands have been specifically pitched to me as "the drink between drinks". There's a certain inertia to drinking and N/A bevs can be a useful way to tap the breaks.

Nate. The last time you sampled nonalcoholic beer, I commented that you should try Two Roads Juicy IPA. You said you hadn’t had it, but that you would give it a try. True story, I was up at Treehouse on Tuesday and I brought a can of it to give to you, but you weren’t there. When I saw today’s video posting, I just had to a crack up.
I have tired a few of these and my favorite is the Guinness Zero so far.
Underrated!
You need to try Free Wave by Athletic Brewing!!! That's more of a fair comparison to the Two Roads.
Free Wave is the best NA IPA for sure. Untitled Art has some decent ones as well.
@@taekim433both excellent observations on Free Wave & Unlimited Arts which are very good yet pricey w/o Athletic's economies of scale.
Ohhh my gosh that build site has me so excited for Saratoga.
Athletic is the best NA I've had to date, most others fall FAR behind. Should have had the cameraman say which was his favorite from those 4, c'mon!!
I constantly hear about these folks taking the 1st Place position when it comes to non-alcoholic beer, and recently read about their revenue tripling or more with lots of Gen Z's wanting non-alcoholic brews. 😅
Same here but I haven’t had many
Sam Adams just the haze I think is a little better
Agreed. Wish they included Free Wave in this tasting, it's their best one.
Athletic is great
NA beer is simply a way to make you feel like you're drinking with your buddies during Dry January. They are lacking something. Sierra Nevada has a line of NA beers and they took their time putting them on the market. Maybe should be included in your next round. Guiness NA is pretty flavorful due to the dark malts. Cheers.
I really enjoyed this video. I do believe that non alcoolic beer cannot progress more in beer market. You put the exact words on what I feel each Time I try this kind of beer. Hello From France 🇫🇷🖐🏻
Although, not an IPA, Athletic Lite is by far the best NA beer I've had. It still tastes like unfermented wort, but it's the best of the NA world!
I like Sam Adams hazy
Waunakee, WI (only one in the world). Not too far from my neck of the woods. Octopi Brewing is there and they do a lot of contract brewing.
Guinness 0 is the best NA beer I’ve had (I usually try quite a few during sober October) and it’s not even close. Authentic as a brand is my second go-to though. Would love to hear what Nate has to say about the Guinness
Agree with many posts, Athletic is the best all-around; however, I think Stella’s non-alcoholic brew taste is really close to their alcoholic brew, quickly becoming my favorite. Plus, it’s a true 0.0%, unlike Athletic that’s a “near-beer” at .5%.
Hands down Athletic Brewing is the best NA brewing project.
Do you get Untitled Art there? Their N/A beers are several notches above any others I’ve tried. They make an Italian Style pils that I routinely pick up over their normal counterparts, even with the higher price tag. They also have West Coast, Juicy and Hazy IPAs; in particular the Hazy is quite good among it’s peers.
Recommend Deschutes fresh squeezed NA. It’s legit tastes like real beer … I fooled several friends at a pool party this summer. Sierra also makes an excellent one …
Saratoga build is coming along nicely! Been driving by to watch the progress ☺️
The random construction site, you mean?
I've never seen Nate in so much pain while drinking "beer" 😂
Sam Adams just the haze is phenomenal
Blue Moon NA and Athletic Oktoberfest beers are delicious!
Kudos for trying these beers! Mar 2024 I had knee replacement surgery and couldn't 'drink' before or immediately after. I tried some N/A beers: Heineken 0.0, and others were pretty damn good ! Seeing your review I tried Athletic Brew... Upside Dawn: Golden. Similar to your tasting notes, it was like a 'hop water' but with more 'ummph'! and more maltiness. So maybe a tasting show: N/A beers vs. Gluten free beers vs. N/A beers that you add alcohol to ? 😀I'll have to search if you've done gluten free. GF just lacks the 'ummph' ! The mouth feel for me. Maybe I'll try a Miller Lite vs. GF ? interesting ... Enjoy your videos. Thanks for the work that you and your crew do to produce them ! Hopefully it all pays off in support for TreeHouse Brewing and it's wider mission ! Cheers ! 🙂
Brulo from UK does magic with these. I don't know how they do it, but it's a totaly different category of non-alcoholic beers, compared to anything else I tried, craft or not.
Brulo is brewed by De Proefbrouwerij in Belgium they’ve cracked it
Evening Nate. I don't always drink Double IPAs, but when I do, I prefer they have 8% ABV.
@@paulff3 Always! 😂 They have to crank a Triple IPA above 10% realllll soon though 👀
Love seeing the construction site, can’t wait to visit!
I'm out of the loop: what are they building now?
@@WaylandsWorld New TH brewery in Saratoga Springs, NY.
@@Mextorf39 Ah, yes yes... I almost forgot about their expansion that way.
Try Guinness 0 Nate, wont disappoint for what it is
Three Magnets in Olympia, WA is heads and shoulders above any of these four. And it's not close. Their Self Care line is mind-blowing.
Untitled Art West Coast NA IPA is the very best I have had. It blows Athletic out of the water, in my opinion. But I love Athletic's stuff. I think Hazy Wave is their best regular-issued IPA. Cerveza Athletica is a fantastic take on that style.
Heineken 0 is the best NA beer I've ever had. I will drink that over any 'craft' NA. the Sam Adams hazy is good, but it has like 140 calories and 25+ grams of sugar...so you might as well just drink a can of Mountain Dew for half the price.
Heineken Zero was great in the tasting we did in January
for no good reason I stopped drinking alcohol about six months ago. I started drinking a range of non-alcoholic beers, so far Athletic is the best, Sierra Nevada second, tried Best Day kolsch and did not like.
Do a second round on non alc beers. Bud Zero, Heineken 00, Sam adams just the haze, blue moon Non alc.
I enjoy Hop seltzer like Lagunita’s Hoppy Refresher or Hoplark than I do most NA beers. Also Heineken 0.0 actually has 0.01% or 0.05% so they are allowed to say 0.0 so they technically not completely alcohol free.
Go Brewing has a few great IPAs.🍻🍻
Untitled Art does some NA options that have decent mouthfeel. Their Orange Peel Wit is by far my favorite NA I’ve had. The Italian Pilsner isn’t half bad. Their Juicy IPA and Fruited Sours are closer to a juice than a beer but tasty nonetheless.
Sam Adams Just The Haze is the only NA that I've had that even comes close to a regular IPA. Whatever they did, it is far superior to all of those in your video and any other NAs that I've had.
Best Day makes a very convincing kolsch but then again that style is known for it's lightness and dryness. Athletic's "Cerveza Athletica" is a Mexican dark lager style that is quite respectable IMO.
I work for Whole Foods and Athletic Brewing is VERY popular. It's the only non-alcoholic beer that I'm curious to try.
I'm sad that Sam Adams Just the Haze was not tasted here! By far the best NA Hazy on the market and winner of gold for NA beer at GABF!
Forgive me if you get into this in the video and I haven't gotten to it yet but I wanted to ask a pro. Since alcohol evaporates/changes to gas more easily than water; would NA/Alcohol-Free beer be harder to smell volatile aromatics from the hops used? Since alcohol turning to gas would carry those chemicals to your nose more readily? Love the videos guys, keep up the great work!
I think IPA is a very difficult style to get right as a non alcoholic beer style. It’s too hard to find a balance when there is no alcohol and a weak grain bill to balance the hops. Trying a different style might yield better results. Guinness makes the NA beer I have tried, I think the nitrogen gives it more of that body so you still have some mouthfeel and then the rest of the flavor comes from the darker grains.
TOGA TOGA TOGA!!! 🏇🍻
FLORAL
I tried a BUNCH of NA beers this past dry January and found they all exhibited the exact thing noted in this video. They were thin, lacked the body and mouthfeel and general experience. The flavor wasn't awful, but I realized by the end of the month I'd rather drink water than these NA beers. They have a place and I'm glad people like them, but they're not for me until they can figure out how to replicate the body/mouthfeel issues. Same goes for NA spirit alternatives.
I know this was ipa but best day made a good wit and makes a good salt and lime mexican style lager.
I like the industrial arts NA beers. That being said… Yes, adding vodka to these makes them much better
My favorite NA beers are Sam Adams' Just the Haze IPA and Athletic's Run Wild IPA.
Kit NA out of portland maine is the best i've tried. my wife is pregnant so we've done our own testing
When it comes to ipa’s I like Lagunitas, it was a grapefruit touch to it that seems to add a lot. Overall though I prefer non ipa na’s like corona 0 or athletic golden ale
Big Drop makes the best NA but it has lactose. You gotta try it
Sierra Nevada Trail Pass
Favorite NA IPA is Deep Fake from Flying Dog. Nitro does a good stout and Guinness 0 is decent.
My 2 best rated are No Limits Pale Ale (Hong Kong Beer Co) & Death Bohemian Pilsner (Mash Gang)
Try one brewed by De Proefbrouwerij In Belgium like Brulo or Mikkeller brands, that brewery seems to have cracked it. Brulo’s Lust for Life tastes just like an alcoholic Citra mosaic ipa.
If I go NA it’s a 4%Pilsner,Helles,Kolsh or Bitter😂 Sorry you had to suffer through this but research must be done🍻Cheers Brother 🍻
Sam Adams and Lagunitas makes a decent non alcoholic IPA. I prefer the Lagunitas one myself, but they're nothing like the real deal.
I don't know if Treehouse has done something like it, but as a brewing challenge, why not try to do a low ABV hazy? Say something like 2-3% ABV but one that doesn't disappoint on the hops (bitterness and aroma) or mouthfeel. I'm sure this could make for great content by discussing the process and recipe, making it as open as you can to maybe give a recipe homebrewers could try, too.
I would like to try to brew a NA beer, but its the difficulty of keeping the nasties from killing you, without alcohol to keep you safe. Other than hops , acidity and Pasteurization
I found that after a long period of sobriety these beers were fun to have around, especially the athletic (never tried the others in this video). However I find it really difficult to "mix these in" to an afternoon in the summer. Following a real beer with one of these is.... not great, grab a seltzer.
Estrella Galicia 0.0 is one of the best.
Nate, as a Non-Alcoholic beer drinker I always stay away from IPAs. Pilsners and sours are always better than IPAs.
You've got to try Guinness zero. It's the best NA I've had
Looking forward to the video where you add the alcohol back!
I’ve had a bunch of them. My opinion, get corona NA, add fresh lime and dress with salt or tajin. It’s the closest thing to a real beer experience
I have yet to try one that does not have an instant tea after taste. I stick to hoppy waters.
Have you tried a cold mash for n/a beer? Works pretty good.
I just heard Switchback has an Na coming out this winter.
Hey Nate ! Just curious if you think there are any good na beers out there? What’s your take on untitled arts, deschutes and mash gang ?
I think only macrobreweries can make no alcohol beer that tastes good, like heineken 00 and guiness 0 because they use vacuum distillation (wich is a veeery expensive thing to do) on beer that has been brewed exactly the same as a regular beer. Microbreweries use yeast that dont metabolize maltose and make a wort that doesn't has much maltose and stop fermentation, it just doesn't taste right
This is like watching James Hoffman drink instant
i get the reference 😂
I figure that boiled wort taste is from not going through a proper fermentation so I don't think adding alcohol after the fact is going to help the flavor. I fear it might accentuate everything that's bad about them 😬
Now thats what im talking about
Try Go Brewing Double IPA non alcoholic. It's the closet thing to a real IPA from an NA beer I've ever had. I don't quite understand how you can call it a non-alcoholic double IPA but, if you can get past that, it has a nice aroma and it's fairly bitter.
I'll tag team this and recommend their Pils.
Athletic Hazy (orange can) is the single and only one that IPA drinkers get fooled by. The rest are seltzery. Even the weak beers like corona heineken etc.
Saratoga!!!
The best way to enjoy NA beer is to not compare it to beer. You wouldn't compare hop water to beer.
when will Tree House release one and top the rest??
Guinness NA is pretty decent
Highly recommend peroni 0.0
Should of tried free wave
Just say Saratoga!!!
This was a pretty demoralizing video to watch. Maybe it should be called "we're test driving 4 economy cars and comparing the experience to a fucking Ferrari." Some of us don't really have a choice between picking a NA beer and a "real" beer, but still want to capture SOME of the joy that we used to get. These are NEVER going to be the same as the others. They just can't be. But god forbid we try to find some happiness out of a difficult situation.
Athletic makes good NA beer
NA is the best!
Nate is that a Daytona?
yes
@@treehousebrewco I thought so! Love to try and tell which watch you have on in these videos.
"It smells like nothing" 😭
I don’t understand the question
If I wasn’t able to drink alcoholic beer then I’d just not drink beer anymore. I’ve had nonalcoholic beers and I didn’t enjoy them.
Zombie dust is good!
IPA is just impossible to do without alcohol. In my experience the best NAs are pilsner style, and they taste like miller light.
The mad alchemist 🧪 Just drink Eureka! or Fresh Air.
