The non-alcoholic beer world continues to grow. Within, we’ve seen everything from celebrity labels to excellent takes on styles like the India Pale Ale. In short, it’s never been a better time to explore the arena.

Kit is a Maine near beer producer. The brand launched in 2021 and is the official non-alcoholic beer partner of the local pro soccer team, Hearts of Pine. Recently, Kit debuted a sleek new redesign.

The new look is decidedly geometric, with clean lines and a bold logo. The brand’s three main beers, a blonde, a golden, and a hazy IPA, feature the new look. The trio is available at outlets like Trader Joe’s throughout the northeast and available online.

As Kit is quick to point out, it’s not about abstaining from alcohol, it’s about choice. The brand is part of the growing mindful drinking movement and one of a still-growing number of producers, both here and abroad. Part of the new design involves an “escape under your own influence” sweepstakes. The winner gets to stay at a modern and remote cabin in rural New Hampshire.

The new look come just in time for those looking to embrace Sober October. It’s also a nice option for afternoon drinking when you want to stay functional. It’s the lawn-mowing beer for the modern era.

Celebrate the start of summer with a new 20-year-old straight rye whiskey from Bulleit
Bulleit is celebrating America's birthday with a new rye whiskey

While bourbon is referred to as America’s “native spirit”, rye whiskey actually has a longer historical footprint in the US. While bourbon didn’t get its start until the late 1700s, rye whiskey was popular decades prior. So, it only makes sense that in celebration of the United States’ 250th birthday, Bulleit would release its oldest rye whiskey ever: Bulleit 20-Year-Old Rye.

Cazadores

Summer is the perfect time for tequila-based cocktails. On a hot day, you can’t go wrong with a Paloma, Margarita, or any other tequila-centric drink. And while classic Blanco or reposado tequila works well as a base, the folks at Cazadores just launched potentially the best tequila for summer mixing: Cazadores Pineapple Infused Tequila.

Blended Scotch whiskies you’ll want to drink neat
These blended Scotch whiskies are too good to be used solely as mixers
Dewar's 15

If you’re a Scotch whisky drinker, I know you have at least a few bottles of blended Scotch whisky that you would never drink neat or on the rocks. Perhaps you were given a bottle, or you just bought one because of a flashy label, only to realize it was fairly unpalatable on its own, best mixed with soda or other ingredients. But, if you limit your whisky collection to blended Scotch whiskies that you’d never want to drink neat, you’re missing out on some outstanding expressions just waiting to be discovered.

I was once like this. When I first started writing about alcohol, I didn’t know much about Scotch whisky, and my only experience with blended Scotch was a less-than-stellar expression that came in an easy-to-grab plastic bottle. It wasn’t the type of whisky I was going to want to crack open when my friends or family members stopped by.
