As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline Non-Alcohol Malt Beverage entry caps alcohol below 0.5% ABV (0.4% ABW), says these beers should not be penalized for lacking alcohol, and says ethyl acetate should not be present; the guideline page read did not include a separate entry for this classic ale or lager category. No published specs exist to compare.

Generated from the loaded results for this brewery and beer name, not researched separately; years not loaded are not covered.
The brewery's home page, beer page, core beers and all products listings name Endless Mango IPA, Kölsch, Electro-Lime, West Coast IPA, Hazy IPA and Galaxy Ripple but no pils; a guessed product path returned HTTP 404. The beer page mentions "an ever-changing selection of limited-edition styles," so this may be a limited release.
A similarly named product, Fieldwork Light NA American Pils, is sold by Fieldwork Brewing as its own beer and names no collaborator, so it is not treated as this beer.
The web search budget for this session ran out before a press or Untappd search specific to this beer could be run.
Researched 2026-10-13.
Second pass 2026-10-13: Untappd, BeerMenus, ABV and medal searches found no verified specifications for this exact beer. A retailer lists Best Day Wild American Classic American Pils, but no source establishes that it is Light American Pils; that product and Fieldwork's similarly named beer were excluded.
Field pass 2026-10-13: A retailer and hop focused search found distributor medal coverage but no new matching specification or brewery beer page. The previously excluded Wild American and Fieldwork products remain excluded.
Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery's beer page renders by script; New School Beer's April 2026 release story says Best Day brews its beer to full strength and then removes the alcohol, recorded as the process. Search results describe the separate Wild American pilsner, which is not this beer.
Brewery site scrape 2026-10-14: found nothing new; 7 pages tried (robots.txt obeyed, one request every few seconds per host).
Second deep dive pass 2026-10-14 (brewery site; press; search for social captions and sell sheets): found nothing new; 10 pages tried. The brewery's current shop lists no Light American Pils or pilsner; guessed product and FAQ paths returned 404. Only Wild American, a different pilsner, appears in press and was not used. Second round: searches for a Light American Pils release, distributor listing or press found nothing under that name; results cover Wild American and Nature's Pils (Bavarian lager yeast, Hallertau Mittelfruh per a retailer), which are different beers and were not applied.
