355mL | Japanese Rice Brew

Crisp. Polished. Brewed with purpose.

Inspired by the legend of the Daruma doll—a Japanese symbol of perseverance and the philosophy of "fall down seven times, stand up eight"—this non-alcoholic rice lager is a tribute to persistence. Just as a Daruma doll serves as a steady, unblinking reminder of your goals, this brew is crafted for those who keep going.

By utilizing rice in the brewing process, Go Brewing has "stripped away" the unnecessary, leaving behind a polished, bright beer where there is nowhere for imperfections to hide. It is the ultimate expression of minimalist brewing: clean, dry, and incredibly refreshing.

Subtle floral notes, a hint of rice softness, and a bone-dry finish.

Why It’s the "Persist & Achieve" Brew

Japanese-Style Precision: Modeled after the iconic dry lagers of Japan, where rice is used to create a lighter, crisper profile than traditional all-malt beers.
Zero Sweetness: Unlike many N.A. beers that can be heavy or wort-like, Daruma is defined by its dry, snappy character.
The Philosophy: Every can is a reminder of the Daruma ritual—setting a goal, staying steady, and celebrating the achievement.

Pro-Tip: The Daruma doll tradition involves filling in one eye when you set a goal and the other when you finish. Why not make this your "Achievement Ale"? Keep a four-pack in the fridge and pop one open only when you've checked off a major task on your to-do list—it’s the ultimate reward for staying steady.

The Appearance: Crystal clear and light golden—a "bright" pour that reflects its polished brewing process.

The Aroma: A delicate and inviting bouquet featuring subtle floral notes and a whisper of fruity hop aromatics that add complexity without being heavy.

The Palate: Light-bodied and exceptionally smooth. The rice provides a unique "softness" to the mouthfeel while keeping the flavor profile lean and crisp.

The Finish: Bone-dry and remarkably clean. It leaves the palate refreshed, making it one of the most "crushable" non-alcoholic lagers available.

Sushi & Sashimi: The clean, dry finish is the perfect palate cleanser for fresh fish, soy sauce, and wasabi.

Salty & Fried: Exceptional alongside chicken karaage, tempura vegetables, or lightly salted edamame.

Spicy Ramen: Its light body helps cut through rich, savory broths and tames the heat of spicy chili oils.

The Ritual: Best served ice-cold in a chilled glass. Because it is so polished and lean, the colder temperature highlights its "crispness" and floral aromatics.
