The beer
Record
N.A.R.C. IPA is the hop-forward beer in Resident Culture’s non-alcoholic line from Charlotte, North Carolina. The brewery says the line is brewed with a specialized low-alcohol yeast, a mash meant to limit fermentable sugars, and a short ferment, then pasteurized in the finished can.
It has not had a firsthand Dry Standard tasting. Aroma, palate, balance and finish remain unassessed, and this profile carries no score.
The bottle
Specialized low-alcohol-producing yeast; grain bill and mash designed to limit fermentable sugars; fermentation often one to two days; ABV confirmed in brite tank; pasteurized in the finished package (producer process copy, 2026-10-28). The copy mentions that some breweries remove alcohol after fermentation or dilute; it does not say Resident Culture does either.
Research notes
Producer flavor copy (dank, pine, resinous, grapefruit, orange zest) stays here and is not a Dry Standard tasting.

- Availability
Producer shop, listed as nationwide shipping (collection page, 2026-10-28). One 6-pack was marked backordered on the product page that day. Listed on the Charlotte taproom on-tap and to-go board as N.A.R.C. Hazy IPA. House process copy says NA beer is rarely served on draft and that every N.A.R.C. release is pasteurized in its final package. WCNC’s 12 January 2024 launch report said NARC IPA and Lager were poured on draft, sold as singles and 12 oz six-packs at Plaza Midwood and South End, and would reach select Harris Teeter, Whole Foods, and Lowes Foods.

Where sources disagree
Sources disagree on the following points.
- Style: The shop copy is West Coast-style. The Charlotte tap list titles the beer N.A.R.C. Hazy IPA and names Citra. Both claims are kept. The public style line follows the shop.
- Availability: House process copy says NA beer is rarely served on draft. The Plaza Midwood board still listed N.A.R.C. Hazy IPA on tap and to go on 2026-10-28. WCNC’s January 2024 launch report also named draft at Plaza Midwood and South End. Both claims stay on the record.
