"I had been reassessing my relationship with alcohol for a few years when I finally came upon Athletic. I was a river guide in Idaho on 6-8 day trips in the wilderness and drinking is very much a part of the culture out there. It wasn't until a guest brought some Athletic brews on a trip and offered us one that I realized my issue...I didn't want the alcohol. When I got back to California for my off season I ordered a massive variety pack. I was hooked. One of my biggest joys in beer drinking was the variety. I loved going to breweries and getting a flight to taste test everything they had. When alcohol wasn't as appealing to me anymore, I didn't realize I could have the same joy with non-alcoholic brews. Man, have I been blown away. Every month I wait to see what's coming next and I have to limit myself to how many new brews I buy, because I always want the new one. The variety is incredible.

My current favorite is the Ripe Pursuit Lemon Radler.... and I just got an email about the spring releases, Blueberry Lemon Radler AND Raspberry Lemon Radler. Stop it.

 

Basically, I wanted to thank Athletic Brewing, everyone that keeps that ship afloat, and especially the brewers who keep pumping out mouth-watering brews so consistently. THANK YOU!"
