Deschutes Brewery recently released Fresh Squeezed Non-Alcoholic IPA, the latest in its NA lineup as well as the first of them to be created entirely in-house in Bend. Deschutes partnered with Sustainable Beverage Technologies to install its BrewVo technology that enables the production of NA beer from full-strength regular beer.

As part of the announcement and rollout, the company sent me samples of Fresh Squeezed NA as well as Black Butte NA in its new throwback branding. It’s particularly timely as Deschutes just won a gold medal at the World Beer Cup this past week in the Non-Alcohol Beer category for Black Butte (which, as a reminder, I reviewed here).

In my previous news post about Fresh Squeezed NA, I noted that I would review it side-by-side with regular Fresh Squeezed to compare and contrast. Now that I have the NA, I need to get ahold of some of the real thing to do so!
