“Obviously geared towards the modern "drinker" but relatable enough for almost anyone and easily digestible. He has his finger (and palette) on the pulse of anything and everything in the market (and even some things that aren’t). A consistent window into the world of sophisticated things to sip on...that happen to be non-alcoholic.”

“In addition to being an informative read on what's new in non-alcoholic drinks, we really appreciate his thoughtful writing style in taking the time to talk about the essence of each brand he's reviewing. It really helps reinforce that a well-made craft beverage is not only a way to facilitate social interactions and positive vibes, but also serve as an expression of a mood or aspiration. His newsletter is a staple on our reading list, and we highly recommend others make it a part of their weekly routine as well.”

Founder of N/ATION Beer Media
“I’ve been a subscriber to The Modern Substitute for a while now and truly appreciate the thoughtful, engaging content you put out each week. Reading your newsletter the other day I found it humorous to find out about Green Man’s new N/A release before I’d even heard about it around town! That was just one of the moments I realized how tapped in you are.”
