Production & Heritage

Old Milwaukee traces its roots to the Schlitz Brewing Company's heritage brand portfolio and is now produced under the Pabst Brewing Company umbrella in San Antonio, Texas. Pabst, originally founded in 1844 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, manages one of America's largest collections of legacy beer brands. The Non-Alcoholic expression follows the general American lager blueprint — a light-bodied, adjunct-style brew using corn and barley — brought down to 0.4% ABV, well below the 0.5% threshold that defines non-alcoholic beer in the United States.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Bready, grainy malt leads with gentle sweetness. Hints of corn and barley come through without being overpowering.

Taste: The entry is mildly sweet with a dominant grain character that carries through the mid-palate. Corn adjunct flavors emerge alongside the barley base, lending a slightly syrupy texture. There is minimal hop bitterness, keeping the profile firmly in easy-drinking territory.

Finish: Short and clean with a light body that fades quickly. A faint cereal-grain sweetness lingers briefly before tapering off.

How to Drink Old Milwaukee NA

Serve cold — ideally between 36°F and 40°F — straight from the can or poured into a standard pint glass, where it displays a golden color with a surprisingly persistent head of white foam. As a non-alcoholic option, it also works as a base in low-ABV mixed drinks: a Michelada pairs its light grain profile with lime juice, hot sauce, and Worcestershire for a savory kick; a Shandy blends it with lemonade for a refreshing warm-weather cooler; and a Beer-mosa combines it with orange juice as a brunch-friendly alternative to traditional mimosas.

Best For

• Stocking the cooler for game-day gatherings where some guests prefer non-alcoholic options
• Dry January participants looking for a familiar American lager taste without the alcohol
• Designated drivers who still want to enjoy a beer at cookouts and tailgates
• Everyday weeknight drinking when a full-strength beer feels like too much
