\"Lagunitas<\/a>A friend recently brought over some bottles of Lagunitas\u2019 IPNA for me to try, back when he was doing Dry January\u2014and I\u2019ve found myself picking up occasional six-packs of it since. If you\u2019re not familiar: this is Lagunitas\u2019 non-alcoholic IPA, which they released toward the end of 2020. For me it\u2019s pretty comparable to an actual IPA and, as I\u2019ve been trying to take more days off from alcohol throughout the week, it\u2019s been a helpful option for taking the edge off. I\u2019ve had minimal experience with non-alcoholic beers, but it\u2019s made me curious to try more.<\/p>\n

One of my local shops has a whole non-alcoholic beer section, and I\u2019ve been slowly working through things, finding some good n\/a options for the off days. Athletic Brewing\u2019s IPA was a bit less satisfying, but they\u2019ve got a whole range of n\/a releases: from hazy IPA to gose to a maple brown. Paulaner Weizen-Radler did the trick, combining a subtle hefeweizen core and spritzy lemon juice, and these have been solid beside spicy chicken sausages as a lunch-beer alternative. Weihenstephaner has an n\/a wheat beer I need to check out, and I\u2019ll get around to the various spendy Mikkeller options out there (really enjoyed their Drink\u2019in in the Sun a friend brought on a beach trip). Note that n\/a options tend to be priced like normal beers; I see these as being an occasional pickup, when I\u2019m looking for hops etc., just sans alcohol.<\/p>\n
