1. Run Wild IPA (9.2/10)

65 calories. The flagship and still the best. Bright grapefruit and pine hops with a clean, dry finish. This is the beer that put Athletic Brewing on the map and remains the gold standard for NA IPAs. If you only try one Athletic beer, make it this one. Available nationwide in the US and expanding internationally.

2. Free Wave Hazy IPA (9.0/10)

90 calories. Tropical fruit bomb: mango, pineapple, citrus. Softer and juicier than Run Wild. If you prefer New England-style hazy IPAs, this is the one. One of the best-selling NA beers at Whole Foods. The haze and mouthfeel are impressive for an NA beer.

3. Upside Dawn Golden Ale (8.5/10)

50 calories. Light, crisp, and approachable. The gateway Athletic beer for people who do not like IPAs. Subtle malt sweetness with a clean finish. Think of it as a craft version of a session lager. Great for hot days, post-workout, or as an everyday drinker. The lowest calorie option in Athletic's core lineup.

4. All Out Extra Dark (7.8/10)

90 calories. Chocolate malt and caramel with roasted notes. Not as intense as Guinness 0.0 but more drinkable as a session dark beer. A good entry into NA dark beers for people who find stouts too heavy. Smooth finish without any astringency.

5. Cerveza Atletica (7.5/10)

70 calories. A light, lime-inflected Mexican-style lager. Clean, refreshing, perfect with tacos and spicy food. Not as complex as their other offerings but extremely drinkable. Designed for the beach and barbecue crowd. The lime is subtle, not overpowering.
