Golden Hour, Any Hour
Upside Dawn was one of Athletic Brewing's two original flagships when the Connecticut brewery launched as America's first brewery devoted to non-alcoholic craft beer. Where its sibling Run Wild chases hops, Upside Dawn keeps things delicate: floral, earthy aromatics, a touch of citrus and herbs, and a brilliant golden hue in the glass.
