October Sober - Top 5 NA Beers from the last month
Has it already been an entire month? I know time moves faster as you get older, but man, this last 4+ weeks seemed to be gone in a flash. The transition from outdoor patio beers to indoor basement beers happened almost overnight and while I will miss my sunshine and warm summer breezes, I do enjoy hunkering down in the winter and enjoying all my lazy indoor activities while the wind howls and the snow flies. Soon we will decorate the house once again for Christmas and I'll get that weird nostalgic feeling that challenges my sobriety at the best of times. I used to love to get 4 or 5 beers deep and dive into classic TV specials and holiday movies while reminiscing about how it used to be. Being sober, I find myself more in the present, but when I do cast my mind back, it seems to be in a better light and with less regret. I don't know which way is better, I sure did love that Christmas buzz, but here we are now and I've got another 5 great Non-Alcoholic beer options for you

Sober September - The 5 Best NA Beers I tried in September 2025
I had high hopes earlier this year for a monthly series of posts about the best non-alcoholic beers I had tried in the previous month, but like a lot of things I think are a good idea, I get in my own way and somehow talk my way out of it. So we are back after an 8 month hiatus with a Top 5 must try and 2 to give a pass to when it comes to NA beers. Up first, in chronological order of when I tried them, the Top 5 for September 2025 1. Nickel Brook Brewing Wicked Tame NA Hazy IPA (Sept 1st to 21st, inclusive) I drank one of these a day for 21 days and let me say that I always looked forward to cracking on open when it was time for a little refreshment. It has a great, full-bodied feel and it hits like a full on IPA. Full video here. 2. Tool Shed Brewing Zero Red Rage Red Ale (September 2nd) This one captured my attention with it's malt forward toasty malt body and caramel notes. It felt like I was dri nking a full test Red Ale, no hint of NA

One Year Later...
I woke up this morning, knowing it's been exactly 1 year since the last time I indulged my inner drunk and had way too many pints, topped off with a big old glass of whiskey. One year since I could barely breathe after going up a flight of stairs or walking to my car and one year since my resting heart rate was somewhere around 170 beats per minute. In those 365 days, I have not let go of reality even once. No slip ups or "accidents", never having more than 2 beers in a single day and no hard liquor of any kind. Part of this is predicated by all the medications I'm on to help control blood pressure and keep my heart from running itself out of beats before my time is supposed to be up. But the other part has become a battle of internal monologues, each vying for supremacy and each with some good points to be made. On one side, we've got the good times Polk, the dr

A Vital Shot in the Arm — The Highland Laddie, Leeds
Set in the shadows of several blocks of student accommodation, The Highland Laddie is hidden from view as I approach from the adjacent Kirkstall Road. A twenty minute walk from Leeds station, it feels like I’ve left the creature comforts of the city centre well behind me, as painfully overused phrases like “tucked away” and “hidden gem” begin to fill my head. The thing is, this pub is distinctly lacking in obscurity. Everyone has been talking about The Highland Laddie. Even someone with even a semblance of interest in the goings-on within the Leeds hospitality scene has no doubt seen the flurry of activity the pub has generated on Instagram. Writing for the Observer , restaurant critic Jimi Famurewa described it as a place of “thrilling finesse” with food that is “spectacularly enjoyable.” And it’s only been open in its revamped form since April. In its previous incarnation, the pub—called The Highland, but known affectionately by regulars as “The Laddie”—was forced to close after four
