Central Waters Introduces Honey Blonde NA, Brewed with Real Honey

Central Waters Brewing revealed a new non alcoholic offering called Honey Blonde NA on December 1, 2025. The beer is brewed with real Wisconsin honey and is expected to register under 0.5 percent ABV, placing it in the non alcoholic malt beverage category. Packaging will be in 12 oz cans, with Stevens Point Brewing handling the canning and packaging work. Release details remain pending.

The beer’s described flavor profile emphasizes a breezy floral bouquet, subtle honeyed sweetness and a crisp finish. Those tasting or pairing the beer can expect a light aromatic character that highlights the contribution of local honey without relying on alcohol for balance. The low alcohol registration signals a product aimed at consumers seeking a beer like experience for holiday gatherings or for regular consumption where alcohol is limited.

Classification as a non alcoholic malt beverage under 0.5 percent ABV matters for retail placement and consumer expectations. Verify the ABV and labeling when shopping, and confirm availability with Central Waters or local retailers once release details are announced. The decision to outsource packaging to Stevens Point Brewing suggests Central Waters is positioning this product for wider distribution than small batch self packaging would allow.

The launch fits a wider trend of craft brewers expanding beyond traditional beer to offer non alcoholic alternatives for people who are sober curious, designated drivers, or simply looking to moderate. For homebrewers, Honey Blonde NA illustrates a practical technique to highlight adjuncts such as honey while targeting very low alcohol outcomes. Consider experimenting with honey additions during late boil or in secondary fermentation to preserve aroma and flavor without increasing perceived alcohol.

Expect more details on timing and retail channels from Central Waters. In the meantime, verify local store listings and follow the brewery for exact release information. The new Honey Blonde NA adds a locally sourced ingredient and a low alcohol option to the growing roster of craft non alcoholic beverages.
