NA Classic™

NA Classic strains are the best way to make a complete highly drinkable non-alcoholic beer. These strains produce negligible amounts of alcohol but create the delicate, distinct and authentic character of classic full-strength craft beer.

The first yeast designed to make NA beer that tastes like beer.

Berkeley Yeast’s new NA Series offers the solution for creating great-tasting beer without the alcohol. Most non-alcoholic beers on the market have suffered from off-flavors that taste like unfermented wort. With each disappointing sip the consumer has lowered their expectations for NA beer. But our new NA products will break every expectation and make you rethink what’s possible.

How is this achieved? Two different sets of characteristics work in tandem in every extraordinary yeast cell. First, our NA strains have been engineered to be maltose and maltotriose negative, which limits the production of alcohol. Second, they’re engineered to produce the key beer flavor compounds at the levels you get from full-strength fermentation. So the beer actually tastes like beer and not like partially fermented wort.
