WellBeing Brewing vs Go Brewing

An up-to-date, side-by-side look at two non-alcoholic beers — who makes them, how they're made, and how they actually compare. No spin, just the facts.

Last updated June 2026

Credit where it's due

WellBeing was one of the first US craft breweries dedicated entirely to non-alcoholic beer — making full-flavored NA before the category's big boom. Being early and all-in on NA took real conviction, and they helped prove there was genuine demand for craft non-alcoholic beer in America.

Where Go Brewing fits in

We'll be straight with you: next to the category's giants, Go Brewing is small and young — we launched direct-to-consumer in 2023 and only hit retail shelves in 2024. WellBeing Brewing has a real head start, and we respect that.

What's different is how we make it: every Go beer is brewed and canned from scratch in our own Illinois brewery and kept naturally low — never de-alcoholized or diluted. That's let us move fast and win medals across the World Beer Cup and Best of Craft Beer Awards, and it's why we're now one of the fastest-growing non-alcoholic brands in the US (Nielsen, 2025).

WellBeing Brewing vs Go Brewing — FAQ
