The sober and sober-curious are no strangers to the relationship between alcohol and obscure holidays. Whether the Spring season found you up at dawn with green beer on St. Patrick’s Day, or knee deep in a bottomless margarita on Cinco De Mayo, there was a time you may have thought the deliciousness of the celebration was over forever. I am here today to tell you that you can be sober and not boring. While St. Patrick’s Day gave us Guinness 0.0 and a selection of non-alcoholic Irish Red Ales, Cinco de Mayo proves to offer up even more.
First up, in the NA beer category, we have a classic beac ..read more

In the summer of 2004, I left two restaurant jobs and moved across the country with my ex. We both grew up in Michigan. We were moving to sunny California, each for different reasons. Her Honda CR-V was packed full of all of her belongings, and even a piece of furniture I took apart and later reassembled. My belongings, or at least what I could fit into her car, were some clothes in a suitcase. We also packed a box of tampons with rolled joints and picked up a case of Charles Shaw (Two Buck Chuck for you Trader Joe’s insiders) for the long nights spent camping across the country.

Do you often find yourself drinking NA beer and wondering why there is no niche market specifically for metalheads who don’t drink? Well, wonder no more! Your headbanging prayers have been answered. KittiePig is a brand born from two heavy rock bands: Kittie and We Are Pigs. The goal is to fill a gap that they observed in those specific venues catering to the low-end roars and high-end guitars.
This week, we are drinking Saska Berry Blonde by Kittie Pig. Expectations are high, as the marketing for this brew is one of the best things I have ever seen. When I first saw them, they claimed to be ..read more

Pittsburgh gives us many great things to love, and not just hills and bridges! It also provides hip locales, delicious food, and finally: an NA beer. Two Frays Brewery in Pittsburgh has been hitting it and quitting it in Pittsburgh for seven years, and they have now included the sober community in their family of fun friends and furballs (their dogs, Zeus and Iris). The “You Do You” series of NA beers features everything from sours to porter IPAs, which is a combination that makes no sense, and I am excited to try, but that’s for another time.
This week, we’re drinking You Do You Hazy by Two ..read more

It should be noted that many people look forward to the automatic weight loss that comes from quitting drinking. Of course, those who have quit will tell you about the sugar cravings your body has for a while to replace that alcohol, and then, if you’re like me, you get into non-alcoholic craft beer, and you realize that the weight will never leave, and you decide to live with it and love yourself. Well, good news for those who want more! Partake, from Canada, offers a wide variety of beers, and many that we have featured, including this week’s pick, are only ten calories per beer! Holy crap ..read more

You may remember my sour relationship with Rescue Club if you have been following along. They aren’t bad, per se, but their flavors were not filling my flute tool with many bold or exciting things. You can imagine my expectations when I saw their latest seasonal release on my local NA website. I am a sucker for second and third chances, and I love NA beer, so I decided to give this little gem a try. Alright, Rescue Club, the ball is in your court…
This week, I’m drinking Oktoberfest by Rescue Club – another wonderful installment in craft NA brews making seasonal releases. Whether it’s delicio ..read more
