Non-Mikkelholic


Mikkeller is launching itself into the N/A beer game along with long-time collaborators De Proefbrouwerij with the new beer Henry and the Science, a so-called Flemish Primitive that uses the Mikkeller personalized yeast strain.

“The main aim is to show the consumer how the microorganisms influence the beer. Flemish Primitive beers can be fruity or funky and are often accompanied by lactic or acetic acidity, which might give you give the impression of drinking ‘a marriage between beer and lemonade’ ” is the company line on the beers.

Santa aN/A


I would not have guessed two things.

1. That our closest Near Beer craft brewery would be in Orange County in Santa Ana.

2. That Bravus Brewing Co. is America’s First NON-Alcoholic Craft Brewery

They have an IPA, Oatmeal Stout and a red ale to start. Road trip now in the planning stages.

Now if I can find a bottle to try, I will review how the mighty Cascade hop makes N-A taste.
