Intro to Non-Alcoholic Sours
Non-alcoholic sour beers bring the tangy, refreshing snap of sour styles without the buzz. You will see gose, Berliner weisse, and fruit-forward sours most often. In the United States, “NA” means 0.0 to 0.5 percent ABV. If you want a quick pick, jump below — or use the NA Beer Finder to see what is near you. When choosing, look for your favorite fruit flavors, whether you like salt in a gose, and how tart you want it.

Storage & Serving
Storage & Serving Tips
- Keep cold. Store NA sours in the fridge for freshness and stable acidity.
- Serving temps. Most NA gose and Berliner: 38–45°F. Fruit-forward sours: 42–48°F to open aroma.
- Glassware. Use a Teku or tulip glass for aroma; a wheat/weisse glass suits Berliner styles; a simple pint works in a pinch.
- Helpful accessories. Can cooler, a mini beer fridge or fridge thermometer, bottle/can opener, microfiber bar towel, glass-cleaning brush.
- Pouring. Tilt the glass 45 degrees and pour gently, then straighten for a modest head.
- Treat Yourself: If you want to REALLY elevate your NA beer experience, get a Fizzics Beer Dispenser. Trust me it’s a game changer.

FAQ
What counts as non-alcoholic?
In the U.S., NA beer is 0.0 to 0.5 percent ABV.
Are these year-round?
Some are core. Many fruit sours, gose, and Berliner releases are seasonal or small-batch. Check the brewery link or our “Order Online” link.
Can I ship these?
Most NA beers can ship to many states since they are non-alcoholic, but policies vary by retailer. Check cart rules at checkout.
Do any contain gluten?
Some are gluten-reduced, others contain wheat or barley. If you need gluten-free, check each brewery page for details before ordering.
How should I store them?
Refrigerate and keep out of light. Serve between 38 and 48°F depending on style. See the tip box above for details.
Is “sour” the same as “fruity”?
Not always. “Sour” means intentionally tart. Many NA sours also use fruit, but fruit alone does not make a beer sour.
