From summit beers to cracking open a cold one after zooming down that dusty single-track, few things are better than cheersing with friends after a long outing. Yet, there was always that voice in the back of my head saying, "Don't drink and drive."
So, I often didn't part-take with friends. Until now.
As non-alcoholic beers fill the shelves of our super markets, the options are getting pretty good. Some might even say better than alcoholic beer! But, I'll let your tastebuds decide on that.
Athletic Brewing
Athletic Brewing has made a name for itselves in the space and has taken the number one spot on branding for non-alcoholic beers. While a year ago, you couldn't find them on the shelves, now, they are everywhere. And it makes sense.
I have had the opportunity to try almost all of their beers and they hit the spot. The Run Wild IPA is a solid choice that often fills my cooler.

Best Day Brewing
Best Day Brewing is on the rise with a slogan I think we can all get behind, "Best Day Yet." In other words, their beers, especially the Kolsch, allow you to end your day and take a sip recalling memories from the day, which was your best day yet.

Brewdog
Looking for that fruity and hazy flavor to quench your thirst after a long and hot surf in the summer sun? Well, you might have just found your non-alcoholic hazy of choice. BrewDog's hazy is stellar.
They also have a variety of non-alcoholic beers I am excited to get my hands on and try with a few buddies ASAP.

HOP WTR
While HOP WTR isn't a beer, I have found it to be a nice alternative to the flavors of seltzers and it is packed with all kinds of adaptogens nootropics. While I am not a neuroscientist, drinking nootropics sounds fancy, and I like that.
Overall, I have been enjoying the Mango flavor best, but their other flavors have tickled my fancy as well.

Please, do not drink and drive. The title of this article is made to be catchy. We do not support, nor encourage, drinking alcohol and driving.
