6 Non-Alcoholic Beers To Know This Patio Season

Blending a classic IPA bite with a bit of warmth from Vienna malt, this sunny, clean ale ($13 for six 12-oz. cans) packs only 50 calories. Perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up.

The rich foam and hints of coffee, chocolate, and molasses in this stout ($13 for six 12-oz. cans) are reminiscent of Guinness—and the velvety depth makes it a cheese platter's perfect plus-one.

With notes of grapefruit and pine and a bright, fragrant bitterness, this "near beer" ($12 for six 12-oz. cans) from Scottish craft brewer BrewDog is nearly impossible to differentiate from its boozier brothers.

The can design isn't the only part of this beer ($13 for six 12-oz. cans) that plays mind tricks: The caramel and hoppy notes are so robust, we feel a little strange not calling it beer.

Seltzer fans craving more substance should crack open this cold one ($30 for a dozen 12-oz. cans). Hints of citrus zest perk up the nutty wheat for a classic Berlin sip-alike, with carbonation that tickles like Champagne.

Beer for dessert? Sign us up—especially when it tastes like a grown-up cream soda ($13 for six 12-oz. cans)! Here, smooth vanilla and toffee flavors mix with effervescent earthiness to cut the sweetness.
