The Non-Alcoholic Beer segment has never been hotter, nor the beers better. And here are some of our favorites….all of them Blonde Ales, this time around.

When the Moment Calls For Zero Limits (Paso Robles, CA) –  Firestone Walker Brewing takes its time with new releases. They want to be sure that what there doing and live up to their artisan standards. And now the brewery has entered the non-alcoholic beer area and once agin they have nailed it.

Crafted on the Central Coast of California with the same commitment to premium ingredients as the flagship 805 Blonde Ale, 8ZERO5 is a buzz-free take on the Blonde Ale with only 60 calories and won’t muddy your head.

“We have been tinkering with NA offerings in one form or another for a while in our own taprooms. Looking at the European brewing scene, which seems to influence a lot of what we do, we all noticed that just about every brewery has an NA offering.  It’s simply part of a well-rounded portfolio there,” said Matt Brynildson the long-serving Brewmaster at Firestone Walker. We have talked about it over the years but didn’t get serious about it until now.

“We tasted a lot of NA beers and built one that we would want to drink and that 805 drinkers would like.  We focused on the elements that would keep this offering light on the palate yet interesting.”
