The beer
AL’s Classic Near Beer is a Beacon, New York-brewed nonalcoholic American lager from AL’s. The can face reads Classic, NON-ALCOHOLIC, NEAR BEER, SINCE 2020, and 12 fl oz (355 ml). Public producer copy places it under 0.5% ABV and frames it as a light, crisp lager with noble hops; it does not name a removal machine or arrested-fermentation protocol, so production type stays Unclassified. Industrial Arts in Beacon lists a 6-pack of 12 oz cans at the same ABV ceiling. Direct web sales from the brand are closed. This is a research record until a firsthand pour.

Research notes
The can face reads AL's, Classic, NON-ALCOHOLIC, NEAR BEER, SINCE 2020, and 12 fl oz (355 ml). The producer FAQ states that AL's is a non-alcoholic malt beverage with less than 0.5% alcohol by volume, typically between 0.2% and 0.5% ABV and always below 0.5%; describes it as a light, crisp non-alcoholic craft lager inspired by classic easy-drinking American lagers whose bready character is balanced with noble hops; and says the brand was born in New York City and is brewed in Beacon, New York. The same FAQ answers how AL's is made by pointing to brewing knowledge and "the latest advancements in brewing technology" that make non-alcoholic versions possible, without naming a removal machine, arrested-fermentation protocol, or other classified method — the factory floor stays Unclassified. Producer and retailer flavor copy is not a Dry Standard tasting.
