    Summit Brewing Co. – Nialas Non-Alcoholic IPA & Irish-Style Dark

    Pronounced “knee-uh-lis”, Nialas is Irish Gaelic for “zero” in reference to the non-alcoholic quality of these two beers created by Summit Brewing Co. who has been brewing in St. Paul, Minnesota since 1986.

    Nialas India Pale Ale packs a punch of hop-forward goodness and a delightful blend of toast and English biscuits. Aromas of apricot, tangerine, and mixed berries tantalize your senses with a combination of imported malts and experimental US hops. No regrets drinking this clean and refreshing non-alcoholic IPA!

    Nialas Irish Style Dark is a non-alcoholic stout style with big flavors of espresso, chocolate and caramel, balanced by spicy hop characteristics.
