Deep Fake Review
A non-alcoholic IPA that aims to satisfy.
About Deep Fake
Deep Fake is a non-alcoholic IPA crafted by Flying Dog Brewery, founded in 1990 by George Stranahan in Woody Creek, Colorado. Known for its distinctive label art by British artist Ralph Steadman, the brewery has a rich history and a commitment to quality brewing. Deep Fake was introduced in July 2021 as Flying Dog’s first non-alcoholic offering, expanding their year-round lineup alongside beers like Vicious Hook and Double Dog.
The brewing process for Deep Fake involves a careful selection of hops, including Mosaic, Simcoe, and Citra, which are used to create the beer’s hoppy character. The malt backbone features Munich and caramel malts, contributing to its medium body and clean finish. With an ABV of less than 0.5%, it provides an alcohol-free alternative for those who enjoy the essence of an IPA without the effects of alcohol.
Deep Fake has garnered attention in various publications, including Just Drinks and Washingtonian, for its innovative approach to non-alcoholic beer. It is available in 6-packs of 12 oz. cans at craft beer-friendly establishments primarily in Maryland and other regions within Flying Dog’s distribution network.
Flying Dog describes Deep Fake as a “smooth drinking non-alcoholic brew bursting with delicious hop flavor,” designed to trick the senses into perceiving it as a traditional IPA. The brewery emphasizes that choosing a non-alcoholic beer should not mean compromising on taste, and Deep Fake aims to deliver the satisfaction of a real beer experience, free from alcohol and excess calories.
