Research notes

Lakefront lists 38 IBU and a gravity of 5.2° Plato. Declared malts: Two-Row Pale and 8°L Caramel Malt. Hops: WI Magnum, Citra, Cascade. These are the producer’s malt and hop specifications, not a complete ingredient declaration. Head brewer Luther Paul discusses dealcoholizing the range in a January 2023 OnMilwaukee interview; E-Corp’s range listing separately states that alcohol is removed. In direct correspondence on 20 October 2026, Lakefront’s Mike Walker confirmed that these beers are fermented first and then have their alcohol removed. This verifies the production classification, not the specific removal technique. The same OnMilwaukee piece says all three Lakefront NA beers are contract brewed and canned at Octopi Brewing in Waunakee, and Octopi’s CEO told Isthmus (2021) and VinePair (2022) that its dealcoholizer is a membrane filtration system. The technique is therefore attributed through the contract brewer, as of that 2021–23 reporting; Lakefront itself does not name it.
