My latest article for The Bulletin considers Dry January and the local non-alcoholic beer options currently available in Central Oregon (including hop water). Whatever the reason, this Dry January is an excellent time to revisit the non-alcoholic beer options that are available, something I covered in 2021. Since that time, … Continue reading
Rick’s Near Beer is a relatively new non-alcoholic beer brand out of Austin, Texas, which hit the scene this year with Rick’s Original Pils as its entry into the lifestyle NA space.

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. Open League NA Hazy IPA hit the market last month, offering up the same selling points as the … Continue reading
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).
