The 10 Best Non-Alcoholic IPAs in Canada (2027)
Marc Bennett
Non-Alcoholic Beverage Reviewer
Looking for the best non-alcoholic IPA? We went through the 30+ alcohol-free IPAs in stock at Upside Drinks and picked the 10 we recommend most: juicy hazy NEIPAs, bitter West Coast IPAs and a black IPA, most of them from Canadian craft breweries.
IPA is where non-alcoholic beer has improved the most. Hops carry a lot of flavour and aroma, so a well-brewed NA IPA can taste remarkably close to the real thing.

Hazy vs West Coast IPA: Which One Is for You?
Hazy / NEIPA (Sober Carpenter DDH, Tuesday Paradisco, Harmon's Half-Day): cloudy, soft and juicy, with tropical fruit and low bitterness.
West Coast (Collective Arts, Sober Carpenter Westcoast, Athletic Run Wild): clear, crisp, piney and more bitter.
Black IPA (Sober Carpenter Black IPA): roasted malt like a stout, hops like an IPA.
How to Serve Non-Alcoholic IPA
- Serve it cool, not ice cold: 6 to 8°C lets the hop aromas come through.
- Pour into a glass: aroma is half of an IPA.
- Drink it fresh: hop aroma fades over time, so enjoy IPAs within a few months.
- Pair it: with burgers, tacos, spicy wings and sharp cheddar.
