The Amber Mexican-Style Amber with Lime

The beer

The Amber is a nonalcoholic Mexican-style amber cerveza with lime from Ceebo Brew Co., a Charleston-area nonalcoholic beer company founded by Kyle Alligood in 2022 (its name is a play on “placebo”). After launching in North Carolina with a German-style pilsner (“The Classic”) and a pale ale (“The Hops”), Ceebo moved production to Westbrook Brewing Company in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, and added The Amber as its darker, lime-inflected third release.

In interviews with Eater Carolinas and Garden & Gun, Alligood explains that Ceebo avoids post-fermentation alcohol stripping, instead brewing with a specialized yeast strain and an arrested-fermentation regimen that uses temperature control and tunnel pasteurization at Westbrook Brewing to keep alcohol below the 0.5% ABV legal ceiling. Because that production account comes from brand-level press interviews rather than a primary specification for The Amber, the naturally low alcohol classification is recorded with verified: no pending direct producer or can confirmation. The front of the 12 fl oz can identifies the drink as a nonalcoholic malt beverage with lime.

One single can was purchased from NA Beer Market at $4.99 for cellar evaluation. Until that can is poured and tasted firsthand by The Dry Standard, this entry remains an unscored research profile with no sensory judgment.
