Athletic Brewing Launches Non-Alcoholic Side Stage Pale with Vans Warped Tour

Key Takeaways

  • Athletic Brewing just rolled out a new non-alcoholic beer called Side Stage Pale, and they’ve teamed up with the Vans Warped Tour to make it happen.
  • This one’s bright and hoppy, with a splash of citrus and some floral hints. It’s basically brewed for people who want that festival energy—just without the hangover.
  • Sitting at 600 Howard Road SE, the new location aims to become a neighborhood gathering place that celebrates great beer, good food, and a greener future.

Athletic Brewing has a reputation for shaking up the non-alcoholic beer game, and now they’re helping the Warped Tour celebrate 30 years with something special. Side Stage Pale packs all that hoppy, citrus flavor—zero alcohol, pure refreshment—so you can join the party without missing out.

According to a press release from Athletic Brewing, Side Stage is on sale at www.athleticbrewing.com beginning November 5, 2025, and will be available at the Vans Warped Tour Orlando stop on November 15-16, where Athletic Brewing will serve as the event’s Official Non-Alcoholic Beer Sponsor.

The commemorative brew, called Side Stage, is a bright, hoppy Pale made with orange peel for a satisfying twist of citrus and floral notes. Crafted for fans who still know every lyric but prefer mornings without the hangover, it captures the energy, magic, and community of the legendary festival that built a scene bigger than music. 

“Our collaboration with the Vans Warped Tour is another exciting step in bringing Athletic to the heart of live music and celebrating moments of enjoyment,” said Andrew Katz, Chief Marketing Officer of Athletic Brewing Company. “Warped has long been a cultural touchstone for millions of fans — a celebration of independence, community, and the unapologetic energy that defined a generation. Whether you’re going hard in the pit or headbanging at a house party, Side Stage delivers full flavor and zero hangover.” 

“Warped has always been about giving fans a judgment-free place to belong with non-stop music and great people,” said Kevin Lyman, Founder of Vans Warped Tour. “Side Stage keeps that spirit alive, letting fans enjoy the show their way and showing that the fun comes from the music and community, not a buzz.” 

The collaboration with Warped builds on Athletic’s growing presence in live music and its mission to revolutionize how modern adults drink by offering inclusive options for every fan, lifestyle, and occasion. 

Launched commercially in 2018, Athletic pioneered a proprietary method for making non-alcoholic beer, re-engineering nearly every step of the brewing process through hundreds of small-batch trials. This innovative approach has made Athletic the most highly awarded non-alcoholic brewer of the past decade, with 185 prestigious taste awards. The company produces upwards of 50 NA brews annually and is the best-selling non-alcoholic craft beer brand in the U.S., with over 52% market share — more than 45 share points ahead of its next closest competitor.

About Vans Warped Tour 

The Vans Warped Tour gained notoriety as the largest traveling music festival in the United States, and the longest-running touring music festival in North America. Originally conceived by founder Kevin Lyman in 1995 as an eclectic alternative rock festival, with a focus on punk rock, over the years the tour grew to include a multitude of genres, including metal, hip hop, reggae, pop and more. By its end in 2019, it had earned a reputation as one of the best tours to attend to discover emerging acts, to learn more about meaningful nonprofits and companies who are working to make a positive impact on the world that surrounds them, and to meet like-minded friends.
Over its 30 years, Vans Warped Tour built a legacy as the must attend summer festival for rock and music lovers alike. Since its start in 1995 it provided a platform for established as well as up-and-coming artists, with past performers including Blink182, No Doubt, Sublime, Beck, Katy Perry, NOFX, Limp Bizkit, Black Eyed Peas, Green Day, Eminem, Yellowcard, Bad Religion, and countless others.
