Brewed For Better Years (Chicago, IL / Milwaukee, WI) – Years is a Midwestern beer company that was founded by brewers who appreciate a good regular beer, but can do without the alcohol. They take pride in  legitimately brewing their beers in the same tradition as so many of the great Midwestern brews — top quality ingredients, great taste, no fuss. And basically no alcohol either. And their Pilsner absolutely nails it.
