Surreal Brewing 17 Mile Porter is named after the scenic 17-Mile Drive in Pebble Beach, California, and was one of the brewery's two founding expressions at its 2018 launch. The recipe is built around dark chocolate and coffee malt characters, designed to avoid the overly sweet or syrupy quality common in non-alcoholic dark beers. It is fermented using Kveik yeast, which the brewery claims was the first application of the ancient Norse strain in the non-alcoholic brewing category. A proprietary process allows the beer to ferment fully while keeping alcohol below the 0.5% threshold. The brand also positions it as a recovery option, citing high antioxidant content from the dark malts.
