It’s a New Year and with that comes a pseudo-alliterative time of year called Dry January. It’s a 31-day span where, thanks to a semi-recent rise in the quality of non-alcoholic beers, craft fans can get their palates around some ales and lagers that are devoid of alcohol but still big on flavor. In San Diego, we’re fortunate to have two top-notch producers of such wares based in Miramar: N/A beer powerhouse Athletic Brewing and award-winning non-alc newcomer, AleSmith Brewing. This episode features two very different but equally tasty beers from each operation, both of which are nice starting points for your exploration into this fast-growing niche segment of the craft-beer industry.
