About
At Surreal Brewing, we are pioneering a path into the non-alcoholic beer market by consistently innovating in this space. We brew health forward first-to-market styles including the first ever Craft Non-Alcoholic Red IPA (less than 0.5% ABV and just 33 calories). Our NA Chandelier Red IPA is the first Surreal Beer™ in our line-up and is brewed with a unique blend of 6 malts and 3 hops to provide our customers with the complexity and depth of taste they deserve. It won a gold medal for the US in the 2018 World Beer Awards, 2020 Bronze for Best Dark NA and 2020 Top Voted Gluten Reduced Beer in the U.S. winning this in the all beverage category including alcoholic beer. In 2019 our 17 calorie gluten reduced Kolsch won World's Best Low-Alc and No-Alc Pale Beer award and our 17 Mile Porter won Gold for Best Dark NA in U.S. Our 7 unique styles have won multiple national and international awards for their innovation and flavor. All of our beers are wholesomely brewed with all natural ingredients including non-GMO grains. We are a socially and environmentally conscious company that uses environmentally friendly options including recycling grains and using PCW packaging whenever possible. Our mission is inclusivity. In the U.S. alone there are many millions of people that cannot drink alcohol for one reason or another (e.g. health reasons, due to certain medications, beliefs, fitness, pregnancy, etc.) and a hundred million more that enjoy that craft beer taste that pairs so well with taco Tuesday's at work. With that, we became inspired to extend the craft beer movement to people who crave an adult tasting non-alcoholic beverage with an anytime and anyplace beer! Cheers to you.
