I would say it comes down to more of a body feel for me. Almost all these NA Beers are extremely thin, same with >100 cal beers. But these all had the body of a regular beer, making my brain say HEY THIS IS A REAL BEER.

It’s tricky with NA IPAs because after fermentation, heating the beer back up to kill the alcohol makes it very bitter. So you gotta be cautious as to what hop additions and how much hops you use because you don’t want it overly bitter.

I am over two years sober and ever since I gave up alcohol to honor my cousin, I never wanted to drink that stuff. However, when I saw some people drink these NA beers that got me thinking to give them a try and it gave me the taste I have avoided for years, but it doesn't give me the buzz nor that warm feeling from regular alcohol. So this brand gave me the chance to drink and not worry about the consequences

So glad you found Athletic to your liking! Absolute best NAs out there. The NÉ style IPA (Free Wave) is one of their best - and they have others in their “Pilot Program” (think “small batch”) like a Maple Brown and a Chocolate Cherry Stout that you will find really appealing. Gotta let the Choc Cherry warm a bit for the best flavor. Love these guys because I adore craft beer but I am a lightweight...

In the US 0.5% or under is classified as Non Alcoholic. 99% of the time this mean 0.5% is the highest but can be under by 1 or 2 points. if you are looking for a truly 0 alcohol beer, I would look at Budweiser Zero or Heineken 0.0 (but there is about 0.03 in that one) I believe the same for Budweiser. A beer has to be "fermented" to be classified as a beer. I also did a video on how to extract all the alcohol from a Beer to name ANY BEER Non Alcoholic.
