Absolute Gas (My nephew says this, do I sound hip)

This slaps so hard. Tastes like a really good Pils. It makes it so much easier for me to stay sober when there are NA beers like this in the world.

If you are debating joining the beer club to order this, do it

I was a MAJOR pumpking fan. Drank a gazillion on my wedding day (oh to be young and in your early 20s again). Getting my hands on one was a fall tradition. I don't drink alcohol anymore and this scratched the itch. Also the art is amazing on the can. I'd buy all the merch with this on it.

The best I’ve had

I’m celebrating 6 months sober and it’s easy because of great beers like this. I never thought I’d get to still enjoy beer this much when I started this journey. Thank you, Go Brewing. And I absolutely love the can design!

Shockingly really good!

I've had Celiac for 15 years and cut alcohol for 5 months of Ironman training. I bought this with very low expectations, since it's hard enough to make a good gluten free beer, so I assumed the addition of non alcoholic would possibly make it undrinkable. But I was pleasantly really surprised. I plan to buy several more 6 packs soon!

Premium Hop Infused Water

What more could you ask for? Crisp, refreshing, zero calorie hydration

This is my go-to in the summer. Satisfying flavor.

I love one of these after a hot day working in the yard or a long bike ride. This always leaves me feeling great with no guilt.

For some reason, my wife - who's not a beer or hops fan - loves these, too.

I'd love to see some other varieties of hop water—different hop profiles and flavors. I think something with grapefruit, juniper, or elderberry would be awesome. What do you say, Joe?

Good dark brew

Overall satisfied with this dark brew just have to catch it when it’s in stock sells out quick would love to see some more dark brews maybe something like bravus peanut butter dark

On par with Athletic Brewing (which is a compliment)

Excellent NA Double IPA from a local brewery. Love that NA beers taste like actual beer nowadays. This is really good beer.

Sunshine State Tropical IPA

Delish!!!

By far the best NA beer on the market! We live in Florida and buy this one on the regular because of how refreshing and flavorful it is.

The Best N/A Available

My husband was a big IPA drinker until he got cancer. He was then told, no more. So he has been trying a lot of N/A and not really liking them, until I saw an advertisement for Go Brewings double IPA. He loves it!! So much so that he is trying to get the local stores up here in Maine to carry it! Give it a try....it's great!!

a taste of sunshine

If, as Zen Master Thich Nhat Hang spoke of, when we eat or drink we 'interare' with all that when into what we consume, then I felt I was laying in a field of tall grass, dragonflies and grasshoppers, breeze and sunshine when I quaffed your Sunbeam Pils. Thanks for the spiritual experience!

Prophets Hazy IPA
Greg Werntz (Hayward, US)
Excellent IPA

I’ve been sober for almost 2 years and this is one the best NA IPAs I have had. Fruit notes are subtle and don’t over power crisp hops. Will be purchasing again and again!

Finally

There are no gluten free n/a beers where I live in the northeast region of the U.S.and it is much appreciated that you make these available for purchase online. This gluten free beer is well made and enjoyable to drink. Thank you for filling this beverage niche.

SOOOOO HAPPY Right Now!

I quit drinking last October (2023) Sours were my favorite and I’m so glad to have a treat now.

Amazing GF NA beer! Better than Athletic Upside Dawn NA GF

This is the best one I've found on the market without a close second. Being GF and NA is pretty niche and hard to find. The only other real beer I've found in the market to compare it to is the Athletic Upside Dawn and I've found that one aggravates my celiac a bit if I have more than one. This Freedom Cali Pale Ale doesn't bother me at all and tastes amazing! Congrats on making a great product and I will surely order more!

New go to

gobrewing is my new absolute favorite. there are a bunch of Brewers making good beverages, but go brewing is next level. IPAs are amazing.

Street Cred After Hours Porter

Top-notch!

This porter is sooo full of flavor, you don't miss the alcohol, especially after having a couple and waking up with no aftereffects!

Premium Hop Infused Water
Samuel Reinhart (Boerne, US)
Drink of the summer for me

Perfect for hot days. I run a lot, so hydration is especially important during the warmer months. Hop water is a nice change of pace, and Go Brewing has really separated themselves here from the other hop water brands with both quality of the flavor and the awesome can design. Gotta give credit where it’s due for that.

Good dark

It’s lost its punch with the new formulation without N2. Before you were comparable to Descutes Black Butte and now you are a mellow dark beer

12 Beers of Awesome

Love this! You all make an amazing DIPA. Please expand on that. Even more hops please! Love the sours! (With some tweaking you could make NA champagne!) This was super fun! The only beer I didn’t like was the tropical IPA…tasted like children’s Tylenol. But not enough to pull the rating to 4 stars. Honestly, I gave up alcohol this year and I tried/searched for all the NA beers that replaced the post apres ski beer or climbing tailgate beer. These are my favorite! Hopefully you will go heavier on the DIPA and maybe add a hint of pine on the IPA. The dark beers still need effort for perfect matching but they are incredible considering you aren’t pulling off fermentation to alcohol. Fantastic work and excited for the year to come! You are my go to and let me know if you ever need GO Brewing Ambassadors! That’s how much I love your product! Keep up the good work and seriously, Thank you for making quitting effortless!

Best Pale Ale I’ve Had (alcoholic or non-alcoholic)

I love Pale Ales - this is indeed the best Pale Ale I’ve had (alcoholic or non-alcoholic). Such great flavor (and no gluten!?). When this tasty brew hits your lips, it's like listening to Eric Church's "Springsteen" for the first time (can art matches his scarf from the music video too). Like the description says, break free - and break one of these open.

BEWARE: CONTAINS LACTOSE

Undoubtedly a very tasty NA beer. However, I would not have ordered had I known it contained so much lactose. It is not obvious on the website. You have to click the ingredients tab. In my experience, if a beer contains lactose, that fact is prominently displayed on the website and label OR the beer is referred to as a milkshake IPA to at least tip you off. Recommend they make this more clear. My mouth enjoyed these, but my bowels did not. Fun fact: Around 50% of Americans have some lactose malabsorption.

YUM-kin!!

I literally joined the club to get this and I am so happy I did! So flavorful and satisfying! Agree with the other reviewers on the merch - t-shirts next year?

Love it

I was so excited when I found out go brewing came out with a pumpkin brew and they absolutely nailed it really wish they would have a shirt with the can design on it

Best NA beer out there

I’ve tried several NA beers, the sun beam pils is my absolute favorite. The taste is spot on, better than any other pils (A or NA) I’ve had. Would highly recommend.
