Well, well, well, another timely beer release. Today marks the introduction of the newest beer from esteemed west coast brewery Deschutes. It’s called Patagonia Provisions Non-Alcoholic Organic IPA and it’s made with the healthy, perennial grain otherwise known as Kernza®.

If this sounds familiar, it’s because it’s not the first time the the two brands have come together. Late last year, the tandem released a couple of other beers in the Deschutes Kernza® Lager and Golden Ale. This one is a true NA offering and USDA certified organic.

It’s a Regenerative Organic Certified beer made in the name of sustainability. And it’s a fitting partnership, as both brands care deeply about both outdoor exploration and sustainability. The beer is available a stores across the U.S. starting today.

“At Deschutes Brewery we are heavily reliant on how the agricultural practices of our partners in the farming community impact the productivity of the land. If the soil that grows our grains and hops is depleted over time, we risk being unable to supply high quality beer. We’ve never felt stronger that now is the time to commit to regenerative organic farming practices,” expresses Peter Skrbek, CEO of Deschutes Brewery. “We couldn’t ask for a better partner than Patagonia Provisions to help us extend our line of regenerative organic beer and bring more farmers on board to produce high-quality hops and Kernza® that allow us to brew delicious beer and grow our impact.”

The beer comes as Deschutes continues to expand its impressive non-alcoholic beer lineup. Already, the Oregon brand has a tasty IPA and porter. The producer is clearly taking advantage of the no-and-low movement.

The milestone here isn’t only the char — at least, not entirely. It’s also that Triple Char is the first Old Forester expression made entirely from whiskey distilled at the brand’s Main Street distillery.

Herradura is bringing back its 110-proof tequila, the strongest it’s ever made
Alcohol, Beverage, Tequila

How high in ABV can a mass-market tequila get? Herradura is looking to find out, with the return of Directo de Alambique, an unaged, still-strength expression bottled at 110 proof at Casa Herradura in Amatitán, Jalisco.

The tequila first appeared in 2012 as a small-batch experiment and developed a cult following among collectors before disappearing. The brand says the 2026 return comes after years of requests from drinkers hunting down old bottles.

How to Enjoy Fine Tequila Even More? Ditch Limes for an Orange Slice

An interviewer once famously asked Keith Richards how he had survived decades of rock ‘n’ roll debauchery—heights of hedonism that had sent so many of his cultural contemporaries to an early grave. His answer was surprisingly pragmatic: whatever the vice, he indulged thoughtfully rather than recklessly. And he insisted on only the finest, purest product money could buy. When it came to illicit vices, the King of Riffs exercised discernment as polished as his taste in guitars.

While my indulgences are, on the whole, tamer than Keith’s, I have taken his philosophy to heart when it comes to booze. Especially as hangovers grow more vicious with each passing year, I demand maximum enjoyment from every pour. Every drop of alcohol that touches my should be premium—and consumed thoughtfully.
