Deschutes Kernza NA Golden Brew

Deschutes Brewery, in partnership with Patagonia Provisions, has introduced NA Kernza Golden Brew—a standout non-alcoholic lager that blends sustainable farming with award-winning flavor. Released in 2024, this Certified Organic beer delivers a clean, crisp taste and refreshing finish, all with less than 0.5% alcohol by volume.

The brew’s distinctive character is rooted in its carefully chosen ingredients, led by Certified Organic Kernza®, a perennial grain known for its environmental benefits, including improved soil health and carbon sequestration. Complemented by Regenerative Organic Certified® rye malt, malted 2-row barley, and organic Helios and Adeena hops, every element of this beer is selected with ecological impact in mind. These regenerative farming practices contribute to soil regeneration, biodiversity, erosion control, and cleaner waterways—making this a lager with purpose as well as flavor.

NA Kernza Golden Brew has also earned high praise in the craft beer world, taking home the Gold Medal in the specialty non-alcoholic beer category at the 2024 Great American Beer Festival. As part of Deschutes’ growing non-alcoholic lineup, this lager offers a full-flavored experience while staying true to a mission of environmental stewardship and quality brewing. It’s a compelling option for anyone looking to enjoy craft beer without the alcohol—and without compromise.
