Thank you

These medals are yours too.

Every can you've bought, every six-pack you've shared with a friend, every review you've left. That's what lets us keep brewing new recipes and putting them in front of the toughest judges in the country. We're grateful, and we'll keep working to earn it.

The winners

Meet the medalists

★ Silver

F*k'in Pum'kin

Pumpkin ale · Non-alcoholic · <0.5% ABV

Brewed with real pumpkin purée and warm fall spices. Pumpkin pie up front, a little sweetness, and a smooth, medium-bodied finish. It's our fall seasonal, so it won't stick around.

★ Bronze

New School Sour

Fruited kettle sour · Non-alcoholic · <0.5% ABV

A kettle sour with blueberry and strawberry. Tart, jammy and dry on the finish, at 63 calories a can. It also took home World Beer Cup medals in 2025 and 2026. Now it has a GABF medal too.

From the booth in Denver

We brew it ourselves. That's the difference.

Most non-alcoholic brands hire someone else to brew their beer. We brew every can in-house in Chicagoland, and we write our own recipes. That's how we end up on the podium with the best breweries in the country.
