Production was suspended in 1942 due to wartime grain shortages during WWII and reintroduced in 1959. Now brewed under the ownership of Pabst Brewing Company, the beer uses a 6-row barley malt base blended with corn adjuncts that can comprise up to 40% of the fermentable sugars. That high adjunct ratio contributes to the pale golden color, clean fermentation profile, and light body that define the style. Corn syrup—not high fructose corn syrup—is used in the brewing process, a distinction the brand has emphasized for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose opens with dry hay and raw grain, followed by a subtle saltine-cracker quality.

At just 58 calories and 0.4% ABV per serving, the Non-Alcoholic version offers a low-calorie, near-zero-alcohol option that retains the grainy, lightly sweet character of its full-strength sibling. The 24-pack format makes it a practical buy for households that keep NA beer on hand regularly or for hosting events where alcohol-free choices matter. In a growing NA beer segment increasingly dominated by premium-priced craft entries, Old Milwaukee NA remains one of the most budget-conscious options available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Old Milwaukee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44838247497897,"sku":"1726","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/Old-Milwaukee-Non-Alcoholic-24__16373.jpg?v=1730508489"}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/old-milwaukee.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
