Dry January is past, so cutting out alcohol may not be top of mind right now (though I’ve also seen the subsequent months recently called Fit February and Moderation March in the same spirit), but that shouldn’t stop you from moderating your alcohol intake if you so choose. In that … Continue reading
Deschutes Brewery has been working on non-alcoholic beer for about two years now, focusing primarily on its NA Irish Style Dark (which I wrote about here). This past week the brewery announced the next logical step: a non-alcoholic version of one of its flagships, Black Butte Porter. Having an NA … Continue reading
Just over a year ago I reviewed the core non-alcoholic offerings from Partake Brewing, a Canadian NA brewer that produces a range of styles from Blonde to Dark (called Stout back when I reviewed it). In addition to having less than 0.5% ABV (to legally qualify as non-alcoholic), they are … Continue reading
Now that Christmas weekend is past and the Beer Advent Calendar is over, I can get caught up on a few things, starting with receiving some non-alcoholic and “alt” beverages (as in, alternative to beer). These were sent the past couple of weeks though I hadn’t gotten to sharing. The … Continue reading
I finally tackled the topic of non-alcoholic beer for The Bulletin in my latest article, which came out this week. Of course I’ve been covering NA beers here for the past year and a half, but with the availability of two local near beers from Deschutes Brewery and Crux Fermentation … Continue reading

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
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
Today’s beer pick is a first for the Beer Advent Calendar in all of the years I’ve been doing this: Santa Clausthaler, a non-alcoholic beer from Germany’s Radeberger Gruppe that launched in the United States. Why non-alcoholic? To start with, if there’s any year an NA beer should appear on the … Continue reading
