The beer

Go Brewing Suspended In A Sunbeam Pils is brewed or fermented to finish at low ABV without a published removal step from Naperville, Illinois, United States. Go Brewing’s own product FAQ states: ‘We use Go Brewing’s proprietary brewing process to keep it naturally under 0.5% ABV without dilution or dealcoholization, allowing for full pilsner character’ — an explicit statement ruling out dealcoholization.
