Founders are the craft heavyweight behind flagship beer All Day IPA, brewing out of the Midwest since 1997. In December 2025 they finally entered the non-alcoholic category with Nonetheless, their new family of NA beers.

Nonetheless Golden is the first release in the lineup, a lager-inspired golden ale at under 0.5% ABV and just 30 calories per can. It's brewed using the same processes and quality standards Founders has used for nearly thirty years, with smooth malt balanced by citrusy hops, moderate sweetness, and a clean crisp finish.

This one drinks very light and crushable, which is exactly what you want from a golden in this category. The flavor leans to the lighter side, but it's clean, easy, and enjoyable from the first sip to the last. An easy pick-up if you spot it at retail.
