In that … Continue reading
New Orleans’ Urban South Brewery announced the release of its new year-round, low-calorie beer, Paradise Park IPA (one of the highlights in its 2022 calendar).

Non-alcoholic beers have been on the rise over the past year—at least, based on what I’ve seen and tasted so far—and I’ve just received the largest selection of them yet from Scotland-based BrewDog. The company’s “Tasty AF” (AF of course, open to interpretation from “alcohol free” to “arrested fermentation” to … Continue reading
