Research Notes
Conehead Zero is a non-alcoholic IPA from Zero Gravity Craft Brewery of Burlington, Vermont, which also brews the alcoholic Conehead.
The "Original New England IPA" but without the buzz. Motueka, Strata, Simcoe and Nelson Sauvin hops give this NA IPA aromas of citrus and tropical fruit.
As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline describes hoppier non-alcohol beers "ranging from Pale Ales to IPA" that "should showcase a prominent hop presence emblematic of hop-forward pale ale to India Pale Ale profiles," under the non-alcohol cap of less than 0.5% ABV. A four hop NA IPA under 0.5% fits that description.

Brewery Context
Zero Gravity Craft Brewery is in Burlington, VT. Brewery type in Open Brewery DB: Brewpub.
Every spec comes from the brewery's beer page. Its hop line says "Nelson" while its description says "Nelson Sauvin"; the full name is used.
The abv field is null because the brewery gives only an upper bound; the ibu field is null because the brewery lists IBU as N/A.
No 2026 medal announcement from the brewery was found.
Researched 2026-10-13.
Field pass 2026-10-13: The matching Untappd listing gives N/A IBU and 0.5% ABV against the existing brewery less than 0.5% bound. No measured alcohol value was established, so ABV remains null; the alcoholic Conehead's 49 IBU was excluded.
Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery's Conehead Zero sell sheet repeats the page text and says less than 0.5% alcohol by volume; it gives no IBU, yeast or gravity.
Brewery site scrape 2026-10-14: found nothing new; 8 pages tried (robots.txt obeyed, one request every few seconds per host).
Second deep dive pass 2026-10-14 (brewery site; retailer listing repeating brewery copy; trade press): found nothing new; 8 pages tried. Nothing new; the brewery lists malts as Canada Maltage Superior Pilsner, Weyermann Vienna and oats (profile already has the generic forms). The Seven Days process description (alcohol removed, re-dry-hopped, pasteurized) is for Rescue Club, a different beer, so it is not recorded. Second round: launch press, Beer Marketer's Insights teaser and Seven Days coverage give no Conehead Zero process, yeast, IBU or gravity; the process described there belongs to Rescue Club.
