We Tasted 31 Nonalcoholic Beers—Here Are Our Favorites

With a valuation of $22 billion as of 2022, the nonalcoholic (NA) beer market is roughly 100 times larger than that of NA spirits. While this size disparity primarily exists because NA beer has been around much longer (at least since Prohibition), I would argue—and so would others—that some of NA beer’s dominance can be attributed to the fact that it actually tastes like the real stuff. And, unlike spirits, the quality of NA beer isn’t limited to only a few styles: There are delicious NA pilsners, lagers, IPAs, pale ales, Kölschs, and Stouts. How do we know this? We tasted a ton of them—31 to be exact. In hopes of priming you for a category that is forecasted to be worth $40 billion by 2032, we tasted, ranked, and organized some of the best, most celebrated NA beers on the market. Here are our findings. Read More >> …

Our 6 Favorite IPAs for Hoppy, Hazy Sips

It’s no secret: craft beer drinkers love IPAs. Since the early days of the pioneering Sierra Nevada Pale Ale to the current trends of hazy and milkshake styles, the beer category continues to be popular no matter what form it takes. As a quick reminder: IPAs, or India Pale Ales, are “a type of amber-colored ale that gets its flavor from hops, a cone-shaped flower related to cannabis,” according to author Brette Warshaw. As the story goes, the brewing style was popularized in the 1800s, when the British East India company would ship it over in droves to trading outposts throughout the Indian subcontinent. The flavor profile of an IPA can vary widely based on the region where it’s been brewed, plus the particular variety of hops used during the process and when they’re added to the mix. However, “bitter,” “citrusy,” “spicy,” and—yep—”hoppy” are often words you’ll hear used to describe the style as a whole….

The 8 Best Non-Alcoholic Beers We Know

There’s often a stigma about non-alcoholic beer: It just doesn’t taste like beer. Ask people who’ve had beer stripped of its alcohol, and you’ll hear that it is cloying. The mouthfeel just isn’t right. Or, quite simply, it doesn’t provide the full hoppy, fruity, complex-flavor experience present in alcoholic beer. The combination of malt, hops, yeast, water, and adjuncts like coffee and fruit creates a multitude of flavors in today’s beer that just hasn’t been possible in non-alcoholic beer. Until now! According to the Brewers Association, non-alcoholic beer sales are trending upward, and more people than ever are participating in “dry January,” a month where drinkers abstain from alcohol. And to keep up, several breweries across the country are investing in new technology to create better non-alcoholic beers, in styles ranging from pilsners and hazy IPAs to fruit beers and chocolate stouts. With so many brews to choose from in this fast-growing category, it can be…

The Spicy, No-Cook Cheese Dip I Eat by the Spoonful

Here, we’re sharing a fuss-free beer cheese recipe that’s guaranteed to become your new favorite warm-weather dip. I fully understand the concept of a dip.
