Production & Heritage

Athletic Brewing Company has rapidly become one of the most recognized names in non-alcoholic craft beer, operating out of Milford, Connecticut. All Out is brewed using a proprietary process involving over ten deliberate changes to the standard brewing method — monitoring and controlling natural variables so the beer ferments fully yet stays below 0.5% ABV from the outset. Unlike many non-alcoholic beers that rely on dealcoholization through distillation or reverse osmosis, nothing is removed from All Out after brewing, which allows delicate esters and fermentation-derived compounds to remain intact and lets the grain bill — organic Vienna malt, malted barley, oats, and wheat — fully express itself.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Dark roast coffee and cocoa lead immediately, followed by a subtle toasted grain warmth. There is a faint nuttiness underneath, reminiscent of roasted almonds.

Taste: The entry is bold and malt-forward, with rich dark chocolate and espresso hitting the mid-palate. A brief, balanced bitterness — reflecting its 20 IBUs — transitions into a smooth, almost milky sweetness. Semi-sweet chocolate rounds out the peak, giving the stout genuine depth for a non-alcoholic beer.

Finish: Medium in length with a toasty, lightly roasted aftertaste. A hint of bittersweet cocoa lingers alongside a clean, dry close.

How to Drink All Out

All Out is best enjoyed chilled at around 45–50°F to let the roasted malt character shine without muting the coffee and chocolate layers. It drinks well straight from the can or poured into a tulip glass, where the aroma opens up noticeably. For a non-alcoholic cocktail riff, try it in an NA Espresso Martini float — pouring All Out over cold brew concentrate and a touch of simple syrup for a layered, dessert-style drink. It also works as a base for a Virgin Black Velvet, blended with sparkling apple cider for a creamy effervescent contrast. A zero-proof Stout Shandy, combining All Out with fresh lemonade, plays its roasted bitterness against bright citrus acidity.

Best For

• Dry January participants seeking a stout with genuine complexity
• Post-workout recovery when you want something more flavorful than water or a sports drink
• Hosting friends who prefer not to drink alcohol but appreciate craft beer
• Weeknight dinners where a dark, rich beer pairs with food but you want a clear head the next morning

Why All Out?

What separates All Out from most non-alcoholic dark beers is Athletic Brewing's refusal to strip alcohol out after the fact. By engineering the entire brew to finish below 0.5% ABV — through over ten targeted process modifications rather than post-fermentation dealcoholization — the beer retains fermentation-derived flavors that are typically lost in competing products. The result is a stout that earned back-to-back recognition at the US Open Beer Championship and holds an 84-point rating on BeerAdvocate from over 40 reviews. For anyone who has written off non-alcoholic stouts as thin or flavorless, All Out stands as credible evidence that the category has matured.
