Are there any health benefits to drinking non-alcoholic beer?
Non-alcoholic beers are generally lower in calories. Our IPA is 80 calories, for example, and offers a host of vitamins and minerals. Research published in the National Library of Medicine in 2022 showed that non-alcoholic beer is a good source of B-complex vitamins (especially folate) and bioactive components, such as flavonoids and phenolic acids. It also contains trace amounts of minerals such as potassium, silicon, and magnesium. Plus, n/a beers offer the familiar social experience of having a beer without the effects of alcohol.

Why Non-Alcoholic Beer?
Non-alcoholic beers are winning over consumers for a spectrum of reasons. These beers promise the taste and camaraderie of a cold one without the alcohol content, making them the healthier choice for those looking to avoid the negative effects of alcohol. The social appeal is also powerful; n/a beers allow individuals to participate in events and gatherings that often center around alcoholic drinks without the pressure to consume. Plus, non-alcoholic beers expand the market to include those who may have previously been left out, making every beer moment feel like an inclusive opportunity.

The Brewing Process of Non-Alcoholic Beer
Brewing n/a beer is both an art and a science, requiring a careful balance to ensure a full-bodied taste without any alcohol — our lead brewer, Dylan Collins, knows this well. The base of the brewing process is similar to that of regular beer, with grains, water, hops, and yeast at the core. To brew our non-alcoholic beers, we use a technique called arrested fermentation, which gently removes alcohol while preserving the beer’s essence.
Choosing Your Perfect Non-Alcoholic Beer
With our range of flavors, there is a Good Time Brewing n/a beer for every palate. Whether you prefer the bitterness of hops in an IPA or the smoothness of a wheat beer, we tailor our non-alcoholic options to offer the same variety of tastes as alcoholic beers. It's essential to consider the flavor profile you enjoy in a regular beer and choose a n/a option that mirrors those notes to truly satisfy your beer cravings.
How to Enjoy Non-Alcoholic Beer to the Fullest
To get the most out of your non-alcoholic beer experience, it's crucial to treat it like any other high-quality beer. Serving it at the correct temperature (between 38 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on the style) and choosing between in-can, on draft is a personal preference. Food pairings can also add to the experience — reach for lighter beers with lighter meals like salad, and choose a maltier variety for heartier dishes like barbecue. Order a 6-pack of Good Time’s IPA straight to your doorstep for your at-home next food venture.
