The first non-alcoholic beer from Boston’s Harpoon Brewery is a natural extension to the company’s “League” lifestyle series, which are low in calories and alcohol and crafted with “better for you” ingredients.

At some point this year I got onto the press mailing list for Nashi Orchards of Washington, when I received a press release about the cider maker’s new non-alcoholic perry (cider made from pears).
