Best Day Brewing, based in Sausalito, California, has been steadily stacking up a solid reputation in the nonalcoholic beer world. While many breweries crowd the IPA aisle, Best Day Brewing isn’t afraid to branch out and showcase other styles. Their focus on quality over quantity has quickly made them one of the more exciting names to look for when scouring the shelves of your local bottle shop.
This week we are drinking Nature Pils from Best Day Brewing. As one of the few NA pilsners on the market, expectations are high for that crisp, clean, classic experience you’d normally find in a traditional lager. The pour is a beautiful clear golden yellow that sparkles in the glass, while the roasted malt aroma makes its way straight into the sniffy holes with confidence. From looks and smells alone, Best Day Brewing seems to be setting the stage for a textbook pilsner.
The taste seals the deal. Nature Pils from Best Day Brewing delivers a craft pilsner profile that balances roasted malts, hearty barley and just the right pop of hops. It feels full but crisp in the tongue holster, with each sip snapping clean like a cold breeze through a mountain pass. Where some NA pilsners fall flat or watery, this one has weight, flavor and follow-through — you might even forget you’re drinking a nonalcoholic beer until the can reminds you.
Untappd gives Nature Pils from Best Day Brewing a 3.7 out of 5. I’m bumping that up to a crisp and clean 4.5, because this is the kind of pilsner the NA space has been waiting for. It’s proof that Best Day Brewing isn’t just dabbling — they’re dialing in and delivering. My thoughts are mine, though, so crack open a can and see if this pilsner perfection puts a smile in your face hole, too.
