Roasted barley, baker's cocoa, cold espresso, and a creamy nitrogen-infused pour. A traditional Irish dry stout crafted for sessionable, clear-headed pub rituals.
Brewed in Ontario by Harmon's Craft Brewing, Dempsey's Non-Alcoholic Stout pays direct homage to Irish brewing tradition. Named after brewmaster Rob Doyle’s maternal grandmother and inspired by his roots near County Wexford's historic Hook Head Lighthouse, this seasonal release captures the hallmark roasty bite and velvety texture of an authentic Dublin-style dry stout without the alcohol.
Engineered with a nitrogen infusion, Dempsey's delivers a signature cascading pour that resolves into a dense, creamy tan head. Sitting at less than 0.5% ABV (70 calories and 16g carbohydrates per 355ml can), it balances deep roasted barley bitterness and unsweetened chocolate against a light-to-medium dry body, completely free from the cloying sweetness common in malt beverage substitutes.
Jet-black pour, dark roast espresso and cocoa aromas, dry roasty core, and a creamy nitro head—<0.5% ABV, 70 cal, crafted in Ontario.

The Appearance: Opaque jet-black with garnet highlights and a thick, creamy tan foam head built by its nitro infusion.
The Aroma: Classic Irish pub aromatics. Opens with notes of dark roasted malt, fresh espresso grinds, and dusty baker's chocolate, framed by faint toasted bread crust.
The Palate: Light-to-medium bodied, crisp, and exceptionally dry. Upfront flavors of dark roast barley and dark cacao lead the entry, balanced by subtle earthy hop bitterness and a velvety micro-bubble mouthfeel.
The Finish: Clean, brisk, and roasty, leaving a dry cocoa and espresso bitterness on the back palate that begs for another pull.
Irish Pub Classics: Outstanding paired with shepherd's pie, bangers and mash, corned beef, or traditional Irish stew.
Comforting Savory Fare: Exceptional alongside grilled smash burgers, caramelized French onion soup, or roasted root vegetable pot pie.
Oysters & Seafood: The quintessential classic pairing—briny raw oysters on the half shell with fresh lemon, where the stout's dry roast highlights marine sweetness.
The Craft Stout Architecture
Traditional Irish Dry Profile: Formulated to mimic classic dry stouts rather than heavy milk stouts or sweet pastry ales, keeping residual sugars minimal and drinkability high.
Nitro Infusion: Conditioned with nitrogen to provide micro-fine effervescence, a cascading pour, and a pillowy foam cap that softens roast astringency.
Dedicated Non-Alcoholic Fermentation: Crafted from the ground up using specialized brewing techniques to develop roasted depth while naturally staying under 0.5% ABV.
Vegan & Calorie-Conscious: Certified vegan formulation delivering a satisfying dark beer experience at just 70 calories per 355ml can.
Pro-Tip: Treat Dempsey's like any nitro-conditioned pub draught. Do not pour gently down the side of the glass; pour it boldly and upright straight down the center. Agitating the nitrogen creates the signature micro-foam cap, giving you the authentic Dublin pub mouthfeel right at home.
