Montauk Brewing Releases Its First Non-Alcoholic Brew: Montauk N.A. IPA

MONTAUK, N.Y., April 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Montauk Brewing Company (“Montauk Brewing” or “Montauk”), the leading and fastest-selling craft brewer in Metro New York¹ known for its exceptional craft beers and a subsidiary of Tilray Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY and TSX: TLRY), today announced the launch of its new Montauk N.A. IPA, a flavorful ‘Non-Alcoholic’ brew that’s thankfully all Montauk. 

Tapping into the high-growth non-alcohol category, Montauk's N.A. IPA is meticulously brewed to the same high standards as its alcoholic counterparts, ensuring that every sip delivers a refreshing and flavorful experience. This well-balanced brew achieves perfect harmony, blending the clean bitterness of hops with a subtle sweetness. 

Crafted to meet the increasing demand for full-flavor non-alcoholic beverages, Montauk N.A. IPA is brewed with Citra, Mosaic, and a blend of Cryo hops, offering a fresh aroma of orange and pink grapefruit. Available in six-packs of 12-ounce cans with less than 0.5% ABV, it is incredibly delicious for those who want a great-tasting IPA without the alcohol of traditional beers.

“Like many beer drinkers, there are times when I want to drink an actual beer, and others when I want the experience of drinking a beer without the alcohol. With Montauk N.A. IPA, we can now show up for our fans during both occasions with the flavor and taste they expect from Montauk,” said Vaughan Cutillo, Founder and Brand Director of Montauk Brewing.

“We’re seeing especially strong interest among sports fans for NA options. We’re proud to serve fans a full-flavored NA brew that delivers the unmistakable taste of a Montauk beer and represents our favorite teams,” Cutillo said.

Montauk N.A. IPA is available at select retailers in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The initial launch will be available in Long Island, New York City, and Northern New Jersey. To find Montauk’s N.A. IPA near you use Montauk’s Beer Finder.
