5. Samuel Adams Just the Haze
Insider Monkey Score: 7
A good beer always hits the spot, but you don’t always want the buzz. In a move to bring beer lovers a craft non-alcoholic hazy IPA, Samuel Adams announced plans to introduce Samuel Adams Just the Haze in 2021. The company’s brewers remove the alcohol slowly and gently, delivering a beer so good you’ll never know it’s non-alcoholic. Just the Haze won a Gold Medal for Best Non-Alcoholic Beer in America at the Great American Beer Festival.
4. Ceria Grainwave Belgian-Style White
Insider Monkey Score: 7
Grainwave is an unfiltered, alcohol-free Belgian-style white ale brewed with blood orange peel, coriander, and Hallertau Tradition hops for medium body and bright, refreshing flavors.
Colorado-based Ceria Brewing Co. also became a pioneer of marijuana infused beverages when it debuted its first THC beer in 2018. However, federal illegality has proven to be a big headache for this segment, and right now, Ceria’s offerings are not available in its own home state because it no longer has a local partner licensed to package its THC beer. Since federal laws prohibit marijuana from crossing state lines, products sold in Colorado must also be manufactured there. The company’s beers however remain available for purchase in California.
