Bend, Oregon’s Worthy Brewing Company announced plans for its upcoming year—or issued a mission statement, depending on how you look at it. The primary message is that Worthy will not (ever) be brewing hard seltzers and will stick to beer; at the same time, the brewery will be releasing new … Continue reading
A few days ago I featured the non-alcoholic Santa Clausthaler on the Beer Advent Calendar, and I mentioned that it’s really good. And it really is, not just when it comes to non-alcoholic beers, but as an overall holiday libation, it works really well. Clausthaler is a German NA brand, … Continue reading
This is the year for non-alcohol beers, as I’ve been reviewing and writing about since February, and among the latest I’ve tried and considered are five NA beers from Partake Brewing. I received the lineup which consisted of Blonde, Pale, IPA, Red, and Stout. Partake is located in Canada, with … Continue reading
Yes, summer is over and we’re into fall and Oktoberfest and pumpkin season, but did you get a chance to check out Harpoon Brewery‘s Fantasy League mix pack of low alcohol lifestyle beers? The brewery had sent them to me to sample and I found them to be suitably easy-drinking … Continue reading

The three beers were IPA, Weisse, and Stout, and I received them as part of the company’s promo of the Stout which is its newest. … Continue reading
It occurs to me that as we’re all sitting at home drinking beer under the COVID-19 social distancing orders, we may not be getting the daily activity in that we’re used to. (Especially those of us with desk jobs working remotely, like I’ve been for over a week now.) So … Continue reading
Last week I received a shipment of non-alcoholic beers from Grüvi, a Denver-based company I hadn’t heard of before which produces NA beers and wines. Grüvi is introducing a new alcohol-free Stout, so sent me samples of the Stout, IPA, and Weisse as part of the rollout. It’s interesting timing, … Continue reading
This is a first in receiving beer samples: having a couple of crowlers (32-ounce cans) shipped to me, which were filled on Monday and arrived yesterday. The beer?
