Sierra Nevada's Non-Alcoholic Brews are Traditionally Fermented

— December 13, 2023 — Lifestyle
Tons of beer brands are entering the non-alcoholic space and Sierra Nevada is one of the newest ones, joining the ranks of other brands diversifying their options for drinkers and non-drinkers alike with non-alcoholic brews.

This first-of-its-kind release from Sierra Nevada introduces Trail Pass IPA and Trail Pass Golden, both of which are refreshing options that suit moments that call for non-alcoholic offerings. Notably, both of these products are made with traditional fermentation methods rather than alcohol removal post-brewing. As such, Sierra Nevada reports that "this process results in a higher-quality beverage more like traditional beer, but with less than 0.5% ABV."

In addition to its new non-alcoholic brews, Sierra Nevada debuted Hop Splash Citrus as a zero-alcohol sparkling water infused with real fruit juice.
