Why No Dry?
Since 2007, I have taken the month of January off the booze. This was before the concept of "Dry January" was even a thing, and I literally chose to take the month off because I felt like shit on New Year's Day and had decided I needed to lose some weight, and so no booze for a while was part of that plan. I actually ended up taking nearly 6 months off the beer, though with the occasional bottle of Frankovka, a Czech red wine, and losing an inordinate amount of weight prior to my first visit to the US that summer. My month off became an annual tradition, one that I justified as being "the best way to lose the Christmas weight", and so it remained for most of the last 19 years. Most years I did indeed shed the pounds that I had gained by serious indulgence in the festive spirit, and by the end of the month I was eagerly anticipating my first beer of the year. This year I decided to change things. In 2025 I hit the ripe middle age of 50, even seeing that in black and white looks a bit od

The trend for no and low alcohol drinks continues to rise, particularly with a younger generation looking for healthier options to help take the edge off instead of with alcohol. Don’t get me wrong, I will always enjoy an evening cocktail or glass of wine. However, finding alternatives that contain functional ingredients, with an eye […]

1/31/2025: Old Milwaukee Non-Alcoholic
This is it--the final day of Dry January. Well, mine's been mostly dry. I had a cheat weekend away with Michelle and had a few drinks when we visited her parents at the beginning of the month. But, that's it. So, before we launch into normal February tomorrow, I figured we'd look at my old reliable NA beer: Old Milwaukee Non-Alcoholic. Old Milwaukee's owned by Pabst. Since there's no "About Us" section on their website , I'm just linking you to this post I did last April that has a little bit of Pabst history in it. I'll also say that, according to Wikipedia , Old Milwaukee was originally brewed in the 1930s by Schlitz, which was acquired by Stroh which was acquired by Pabst. Turns out there're a few old beer brands tied to Old Milwaukee. Non-Alcoholic has a brief entry on the brand's "Beer" page . This bills it simply as a "Classic American Lager with zero alcohol." My can says this is America's non-alcoholic near beer and it contains less than 0.5% ABV. So, not exactly no alcohol, bu

1/26/25: BERO's Kingston Golden Pils
I don't think I've ever talked about it here on the blog, but I'm a huge Spider-Man guy. The character's been my favorite superhero since I was a kid. When Tom Holland took the mantle as the MCU Webhead, I was impressed with how seamlessly he could be both Spidey and Peter Parker. When he announced BERO last year, I told myself I'd be on the lookout for it for this year's Dry January. I found a variety pack of the stuff at Target the other week, picked it up, and drank all but one. That's what we're doing today: BERO's Kingston Golden Pils. Holland's BERO's founder, but Grant Wood is its brewmaster. The company's goal is to make non-alcoholic beer that is just beer. Without fancy frills. The wort they make for each batch is much lower in ABV than your standard beer's wort. They then ferment with a yeast that doesn't touch the malt sugar, meaning that those sugars aren't converted to alcohol. If you want more on the brewery or the beer, here's their "Our Story" page .
