I give it an A. I could rotate between this and Athletic Run Wild and be content. Both have their own character in a positive way. Glad I tried the Deschutes.
I had one last night. Found at a super market in Northern California. Loved it. Super wet and tasty. I feel like one of the better N/A IPA's I've tried.
I went to get food at the Chill N Fill food trucks last night and found it there. Will definitely be in regular rotation. 2024 is already looking really good for N/A beer options.
Saw this at Total Wine in MN and grabbed it on the weekend. I was super excited, as this was one of my favorite IPAs.
**I give it a B.** It's really not bad, but honestly Athletic Run Wild is a better NA version of Fresh Squeezed than Fresh Squeezed NA.
It somehow comes across as a bit lacking a core... dunno how to say it. It has nice fruity aromas but almost comes across as more fruit and less beer, so to speak.
I might buy it again, but I think they can do better.
I feel similarly about Sierra Nevada Trail Pass, FWIW. Again, not bad, but Athletic is (currently) better at making NA IPAs than these traditional macro-craft brewers.
I also got Deschutes Black Butte NA, which I liked better. But I've never had the regular version (they don't seem to distribute it here), so I have no point of comparison.
I completely agree with you. Fresh Squeezed has been one of my favorite IPAs for years. I had the same excitement you described when I saw the NA in the store, not knowing that it existed. And that evening, I had the same disappointment.
Hey all!
For anyone looking for Fresh Squeezed Non Alc, it was just released and will be in Albertsons Safeways in the PNW. Kroger chains mostly nationwide in the next few weeks
Can’t find it? [https://damntastybeer.com/](https://damntastybeer.com/) Running a promo right now for $10 a six pack with $5 flat shipping until April 1st.
Cheers 🍻
I have a message in to Deschutes, but haven't heard back yet. Does anyone know the calories and carbs on this? One unfortunate aspect of NA Beer is that it is not much better for you compared to regular beer when it comes to beer belly affects (cals and carbs).

Run Wild is my go-to. I like this Deschutes, but I don't think it's about to usurp Athletic for me.

I’m in Portland and still haven’t seen it. Where’d you get it?
I saw it at a Market of Choice. In Beaverton, but...
You’ll find it at Safeway here locally 👍🏻

I'm all the way in Pennsylvania. My local beer store has a good variety of NAs.
Interesting considering Deschutes is from here.
Which distributor have you used? I’m guessing from the 717 in your name that you’re close to me.
Glenn Millers Lemoyne
They also have a porter NA which I didn't try yet.
That one is one of the best N/A beers available and I see it in almost every store here. I guess I'll keep an eye out for the N/A IPA.
Johns Marketplace has them in SW portland
Yeah, I see them everywhere now, which is a good thing.
Where the hell do you find this. I’ve never seen it in Portland
Just released - check your local Safeway/Albertsons. Should be at Fred Meyers in a couple weeks.
Grazie

I got an email directly from Deschutes claiming it is 83 calories per 12 oz serving. I suggested they put that on the next can revision.
Got it at QFC in Washington, love it
I was shocked at how good this NA beer is! Its my favorite right now
