A Different NA Beer Every Day of the Year
Brand new NA guide plus all this week's new non-alc drinks

Wotcha!
It’s been a little over a year since I published Substitute Without Sacrifice: A Beginner’s Guide to the Best Non-Alcoholic Drinks.
A few weeks after the dust had settled, I reached out to Tyler McMahon of Reducaholic to see if he’d be interested in partnering on a directory of non-alcoholic beers.
So after many months of collaboration—drawing on Tyler’s phenomenal database and my modest design skills—we’re excited to share The NA Craft Beer Directory: 2026 U.S. Edition, featuring over 120 breweries and 300+ beers from across the United States.
So, without further ado, check out the latest drinks news below, then scroll down to explore what’s inside the directory. We’d love for you to take a look and let us know what you think.
As always, enjoy some great drinks this week.
Myles

Not sure where to start on your non-alc beer journey?
The Zero Proof has put together The Big Beer Bundle, a collection of their top sellers, delivered straight to your door. The Zero Proof launched non-alc beer on their marketplace last summer and has quickly become a top selling category with hard to find brands and limited run editions like Athletic's Oktoberfest.
Thank you for supporting our sponsors who in turn support this newsletter.
