Ok, so I was wrong.
Eight years ago I wrote an article called “Meatless burger and alcohol-free beer”. It was the meaning of a polling station that did not apply to a dose of skepticism. The truth was more than a blog photo of the brewing ban on non-alcoholic ban and a blogger than an original interest in my favorite drink alternative.
As I sat now Athletic brewed wild IPA Revise my old post, I ask myself to my original argument.
“Teetotalers would most likely hate taste. After all, health conscious drinkers would be choosing for kale water.“
I still feel that most of my observations are true.
So what changed?

Beer drinkers – the main base, changed. Once off, people who are off and dismissed and dismissed as “fake beer”, they are not so bad. The new generation of beer who are not alcohol is really age. They deliver all the flavors (fizz, hops, malt …) and hues (blonde, amber, black, black, black, black, hazy …). In a cold package, it is difficult to say other than their Boozy colleagues.
Although traditional beer companies have launched the alcoholic versions of popular stamps, niche players and crafts brewings, they quickly jumped in their proposals. With its approximate market size In 2025, there is enough space to have a place for a group of $ 24 billion and in growing.
Then there are social aspects.
Social Input
Soda was that he meant to sip the water with a lime phase. Na Beers allow everyone to participate in the camera of clinking glasses, regardless of the reasons for alcohol jump. One can do, one is a social equivalzer in one.
What just commanded the doctor
With an increase in the impact on the well-being of alcohol, na peers provide an innocent way to enjoy the drinking and social ritual. Now you can prioritize your health without being a social pariah – you can win, some can say.
Change social standards
The younger generation proves that you do not need a noise to have an explosion, reinstall the social engagement rules. Na peers and na peers change sugary sodas and hard seltzers for promised moderation art (Yes, fancy water) form oppression in social instruments. Perhaps this generation goes to something. Moisturizer and tenderness?
Sober sticks and a cool factor
Who needs a hanger when you have a stimulating conversation on suspended and delicious alcoholic cocktails? Sok sticks offer a complex and comprehensive environment where the main event is the main event. Places such as Tub Austin, Herester NYCand The new bar In San Francisco, live night life proves to spin around the booze. Something tells me that this trend is beginning.
Cheered safe celebrations
Love designated drivers! Now you can enjoy a busty, refreshing taste, without compromising your role as a responsibility. These drinks provide a delicious way to participate in social parliament without worrying about inactive driving. Who knows, maybe you will encourage your friends to join the NA movement!
Wakey interesting and dry January
Okay, perhaps is not a complete revolution. However, actions like Sober and Dry January Just look more than fleeing trends. It changes how we think we have a good time and a good time. Here’s a thought: “Maybe you don’t need a drink to feel good or contact people.” Thus, if you turn to a vigilant pool, turn to a vigilant pool, turning into a sober-interesting pool, or just looking for a fun way to help you walk your social scene without sacrificing your welfare.
As I stood up to fill my glass, I must admit, beer companies seem to have gained a fee.
Keeping it!
I wonder if I haven’t gone teetotal. Still a good glass of wine or a stroke of bourbon and then bourbon. I just discovered the joy of enjoying a silent beer. Try a try.
As for the meatless burgers, I’m not there yet.
