FAQ

Yes! We brew NA exclusively in a regular brewery using traditional brewing techniques. No dealcoholization, no artificial flavorings—just water, hops, barley, and yeast, brewed in the rich tradition of Portland craft.

We also pasteurize after canning to ensure our brews stay safely non-alcoholic, even when they’re not refrigerated.

Our brews are "non-alcoholic", which means they're between 0–0.5% ABV. Brews which are classified as "alcohol free" are 0% ABV and contain zero alcohol.

To put that in perspective, our beer is about as alcoholic as a glass of orange juice or a ripe banana. You can’t get intoxicated drinking <0.5% ABV beer.

Yes! Like most traditionally brewed beer, Heck is good to drink if you're vegan.

We don’t use any animal-derived products (or fining agents like isinglass or gelatin) when brewing our beer. Being vegan is just as important to us as being non-alcoholic.

No. Also like most traditionally brewed beer, Heck is brewed with barley and wheat and is therefore not gluten free.

Yes, possibly! We set aside a number of cases from each brew to donate to local progressive causes, prioritizing communities that we’re personally invested in, in particular Portland's recovery community, the local LGBTQIA+ community, those advocating for affordable housing, public transit, and workers' rights in our city, and organizations supporting land preservation and climate resiliency efforts in the Pacific Northwest.

If you’re involved with any of these causes and would like to be considered for a donation or nonprofit discount, please email donations@heckbrewing.com.
