Waukesha, WI — June 2026 — Raised Grain Brewing Company, known for its bold and expressive craft beers, has announced the launch of LowDown Low Alcohol Beer. This new lineup delivers full-flavored craft beer brewed to only 2.5% ABV, giving beer lovers great taste with more control over their day.
LowDown rolls out in June 2026 across the Milwaukee area through Beer Capitol Distributing. It will be available in convenient 6-pack 12 oz. cans, half barrels, and sixth barrels.
All the Flavor, a Fraction of the Alcohol
Raised Grain built its reputation on IPAs with real punch, complex Belgian styles, and lagers that stand on their own. LowDown maintains that same high standard after a full year of research and development. The result is a lineup of low-alcohol beers that taste like their full-strength counterparts.
“We spent a year developing this. Every batch, every tweak was aimed at one thing: can we lower the alcohol without the drinker noticing anything missing? The answer is yes,” says Dr. Scott Kelley, Owner and Brewmaster of Raised Grain Brewing Company. “LowDown drinks like a full craft beer because it is one. The only thing we took out was the alcohol.”
Designed for Real Craft Beer Drinkers
LowDown fills a growing need in the craft beer world. While non-alcoholic beers have increased in popularity, many lack the bold flavor serious craft drinkers expect. LowDown offers a better middle ground — intentionally low in alcohol but packed with authentic craft character.
Whether it’s a long afternoon on the patio, an all-day backyard party, or a game day that starts early, LowDown lets you enjoy real beer flavor while staying sharp.
“More and more, I see drinkers have one or two regular beers and then reach for something lighter — not because they don’t love beer, but because they want to stay sharp and keep enjoying themselves,” says Nick Reistad, Owner and COO of Raised Grain Brewing Company. “LowDown solves that. You get the bold, familiar craft flavor and you stay in control of where the night goes.”
LowDown Hazy (2.5% ABV | 115 Calories)
Soft, juicy, and refreshing with bright citrus and tropical notes. Delivers the hazy character craft fans crave in an easy-drinking package.
LowDown IPA (2.5% ABV | 90 Calories)
Bright citrus, pine, and a crisp bite with a clean, refreshing finish. All the hallmarks of a classic IPA, built for longer sessions.
LowDown Lager (2.5% ABV | 80 Calories)
Crisp, clean, and smooth. A straightforward lager that doesn’t hide behind simplicity — it delivers pure refreshment.
