Now everyone can enjoy the amber goodness that is Lakefront Brewery's Riverwest Stein. After 34 years as the hometown brewery's flagship, the amber lager is now available in a non-alcoholic version.
Launched in 1987, Riverwest Stein Amber became the best-selling amber in Wisconsin and also a beer synonymous with its maker, Lakefront Brewery.
Riverwest Stein NA is sold at retail in 12-ounce, six-pack cans.
"Trends in the marketplace continue to shift. Currently, folks are looking for a refreshing, low to no alcohol beverage, so we formulated a non-alcoholic version of our flagship, Riverwest Stein,” says Lakefront Brewery President Russ Klisch.
“We’re thrilled with the result of our Riverwest Stein N/A and feel it’s the best tasting N/A craft on the market."
The original brew – still available, of course! – is 5.8 percent ABV.
Even without the alcohol, Riverwest Stein is a gem, says Lakefront Brewery Brand Manager Michael Stodola.
“You can try any IPA, fruit beer or barrel-aged stout before coming back to drink a Stein, and realize what a perfect beer it is.”
