The beer
Record
Appalachian Golden IPA is Bright Barrel’s golden IPA. The shop says it is under 0.5% and sells it by the 12 and by the 24. The brewery’s process note says a yeast strain leaves the maltose, and the beer is cooled after 48 hours so fermentation stops. The can on the product art inserts Dawn into the name. A score waits on a pour.
How it was made
Classification Naturally low alcohol
Evidence status Producer documented
The shop calls it Appalachian Golden IPA, brewed with Azacca hops, under 0.5% ABV, and sells a 12-pack at $34.99 and a 24-can pack at $59.99. It does not print a can volume. The can on the product art reads Appalachian Dawn Golden IPA. Bright Barrel’s brewing note says the brewery uses a yeast strain that leaves maltose, cools the beer after 48 hours to stop fermentation, and keeps it below 0.5% alcohol, then pasteurizes in the can. NA Beer Market lists a single can inside a build-your-own 12-pack. That is not the brewery’s 12-pack.
