The beer

Record

Midwest IPA is Bulltown’s IPA. The can is 12 fl oz and reads under 0.5% alcohol. The beer page does not explain the process. A Kalona news story quotes the brewery on an Alchemator membrane that takes the alcohol out. A score waits on a pour.

How it was made

Classification Dealcoholized

Evidence status Press sourced

The Bulltown beer page describes Midwest IPA as pine and a gold malt backbone. It does not print an ABV or a process. The can reads contains less than .5% alcohol and 12 fl oz (355 ml). The News of Kalona quotes a Bulltown explanation of the brewery’s process: beer is pushed through an Alchemator membrane that removes alcohol molecules, concentrated, rehydrated, and run through again, finishing below 0.5% ABV. The IPA is one of the beers named in that story. NA Beer Market lists a single can inside a build-your-own 12-pack. That is not a manufacturer pack of this beer.
