Best Day Brewing Variety Non-Alcoholic 12Pk

Best Day Brewing Variety Non-Alcoholic 12Pk is a curated twelve-can sampler of non-alcoholic craft beers at under 0.5% ABV, brewed in Sausalito, California. What distinguishes this variety pack is the BrewVo dealcoholization process — each beer is brewed to full strength before the alcohol is gently removed without exceeding fermentation temperature, preserving hop character and malt complexity that many NA beers sacrifice.

Quick Facts: ABV: <0.5%  |  Origin: Sausalito, California  |  Style: Variety Pack (Kölsch, West Coast IPA, Hazy IPA)  |  Brewery: Best Day Brewing

Production & Heritage

Best Day Brewing operates out of Sausalito, California, and builds every recipe around four core ingredients: water, barley, hops, and yeast. The brewery's defining technical advantage is its use of the BrewVo process developed by Sustainable Beverage Technologies (SBT), a nested-fermentation method that strips alcohol from fully fermented beer at low temperatures. Because the liquid never rises above its original fermentation temperature during dealcoholization, volatile hop aromatics and delicate malt sugars remain intact — a challenge that plagues many competitors who rely on high-heat evaporation. The same BrewVo technology is employed by established craft producers including Deschutes Brewery and Grüvi.

What's in the Box

The standard variety pack includes three distinct styles. The Kölsch delivers a light, crisp, easy-drinking profile with a toasty malt backbone — a clean, approachable lager-style ale. The West Coast IPA leans into firm hopping bitterness balanced by malt, built for drinkers who want a recognizable IPA experience without the alcohol. The Hazy IPA rounds out the lineup with rich, fruity aromas and juicy tropical hop flavors over a medium body and smooth citrus character. Some seasonal or limited editions of the variety pack swap in a fourth style, Electro-Lime, with three cans of each rather than four.

Tasting Notes

Kölsch — Aroma: Light toasted grain and subtle floral hop notes lead, followed by a faint honey-like sweetness.

Kölsch — Taste: Clean and crisp on entry with a gentle malt sweetness at mid-palate. Finishes dry and refreshingly simple.

West Coast IPA — Aroma: Resinous pine and citrus peel hop character dominate, grounded by a light biscuity malt presence.

West Coast IPA — Taste: Hop-forward bitterness arrives immediately and carries through the mid-palate, balanced by enough malt structure to keep it from turning sharp. The finish is dry and lingering.

Hazy IPA — Aroma: Gentle tropical fruit — mango and passionfruit — with underlying citrus zest and a soft, inviting sweetness.

Hazy IPA — Taste: Round and juicy tropical hop flavors fill the palate with a medium body and lively mouthfeel. Smooth citrus notes carry through to a subtle dry bitterness on the finish with surprising depth for a non-alcoholic beer.

How to Serve Best Day Brewing

All three styles are best served cold, ideally between 38–45°F, poured into a glass to release aroma. The Kölsch suits a tall, narrow stange glass; both IPAs benefit from a tulip or pint glass that concentrates hop aromatics. For non-alcoholic cocktail riffs, the Hazy IPA works well in a Hop Shandy blended with fresh lemonade, the Kölsch pairs naturally in a NA Radler with grapefruit juice and a pinch of salt, and the West Coast IPA adds backbone to a Michelada built with tomato juice, lime, and hot sauce.

Athletic Brewing is the top-selling NA craft brand in the United States and offers a wider year-round lineup, while Best Day differentiates through its BrewVo low-temperature dealcoholization process, which some drinkers find preserves hop aromatics more effectively. Both brands sit at under 0.5% ABV and target the same craft-beer audience.

Where is Best Day Brewing made? Best Day Brewing is based in Sausalito, California, and brews with water, barley, hops, and yeast before using the BrewVo dealcoholization process developed by Sustainable Beverage Technologies.

What foods pair well with Best Day Brewing? The Kölsch pairs well with grilled chicken or light seafood because its crispness cuts through fat. The West Coast IPA stands up to spicy tacos or sharp cheddar. The Hazy IPA complements fish tacos, Thai curry, or citrus-dressed salads where its tropical character echoes similar flavors in the food.

What sizes does Best Day Brewing come in? The variety pack is sold as a 12-pack of cans; individual styles are also available in six-packs.

Is Best Day Brewing worth the price? Best Day positions as a premium NA craft beer, priced competitively with Athletic Brewing and other top-tier non-alcoholic brands — reasonable for drinkers who prioritize full-flavored hop character and clean brewing credentials over budget NA options.

Why Best Day Brewing?

The BrewVo nested-fermentation process is the single most important reason this variety pack stands apart. By fermenting each recipe to completion and then removing alcohol at temperatures that never exceed the original ferment, Best Day retains volatile hop oils and malt nuance that high-heat methods destroy. The Kölsch holds a 3.5 rating on Untappd across more than 4,500 reviews — a strong showing in the NA category. For anyone building an alcohol-free rotation or exploring the rapidly expanding NA craft space, this twelve-can sampler delivers three genuinely distinct drinking experiences from a brewery that treats non-alcoholic beer as real beer, not an afterthought.
