Elysian Brewing Introduces Non-Alcoholic Version of Popular Space Dust IPA
On Monday, Elysian Brewing unveiled a non-alcoholic version of its flagship Space Dust IPA, expanding its lineup to meet growing demand for low- and no-alcohol beer. The new beer, called Easy Dust IPA, is rolling out nationwide in 12-ounce cans and contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume, according to the Seattle-based brewery.
Easy Dust IPA is Elysian’s first non-alcoholic beer tied directly to the Space Dust brand, one of the most widely distributed IPAs in the U.S. The company says the release is part of a broader expansion of its non-alcohol portfolio, offering an option for drinkers who want hop-forward flavor without alcohol.
The beer is brewed to mirror the profile of Space Dust IPA, with hop-driven citrus notes and a light malt base. Elysian describes flavors of grapefruit, mild sweetness, and pine, aiming to deliver the familiar taste of an American IPA while remaining under the non-alcohol threshold.
“Easy Dust is about keeping the fun intact while taking it easy,” Veronica Sperry, senior director of marketing for national craft brands, said in a news release. “We wanted to create something that feels unmistakably Elysian and captures Space Dust’s bold, playful and intrepid spirit, while opening the door to new moments, new occasions and new drinkers.”
The launch follows continued growth for the Space Dust line. Elysian says Space Dust IPA ranked as the No. 4 IPA in the U.S. in 2025, with the broader Space Dust Series up 9% in volume for the year. The brewery also cited Circana data showing Elysian as a top share-gaining craft brewery in the country.
Originally introduced in 2012 as a limited taproom release, Space Dust IPA became a breakout brand as demand for hop-forward beers grew nationwide. Easy Dust extends that brand into the non-alcohol category, which has expanded as more consumers seek alternatives for weekday drinking, social occasions or moderation.
Founded in 1995, Elysian was acquired by Anheuser-Busch in 2015.
