Alaska Airlines is now offering the Best Day Brewing Kölsch non-alcoholic beer on its flights.
According to the carrier, this is the first non-alcoholic beverage to join Alaska’s premium drinks selection and will be complimentary in First Class and Premium Class and available for purchase in the main cabin service on flights where a full beverage service is offered.
Alaska Airlines says the Best Day Brewing holds the title of the #1 selling non-alcoholic Kölsch in the United States, offering a crisp and refreshing experience with a toasty malt character and lighter hoppiness.
The beer has only 55 calories per can and is non-GMO, Kosher and vegan.
“We are always looking for healthier food and beverage options that allow our guests to maintain their lifestyles without sacrificing the taste or quality of the product they’re consuming,” said Todd Traynor-Corey, Alaska Airlines’ Managing Director of Guest Products. “Best Day Brewing achieves that with its craft non-alcoholic beers founded right here on the West Coast.”
The non-alcoholic option has a unique brewing process, with Best Day Brewing crafting all their beers first to full strength before carefully removing the alcohol. The company says that this method, conducted at temperatures no higher than fermentation temperature, preserves the aromas and flavors of exceptional beer.
