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.

Dale’s Pale Ale

If you’re anything like me, you’re going to spend at least another day or two on the golf course before the end of summer. You might not notice it, but the days are growing shorter, and fall is lurking on the horizon like a pumpkin spice-fueled monster. Your chances of spending sunny, humid days on the links are quickly dwindling. And while where you’re golfing and who you’re with is important, so too is what you’re drinking.

In my years of golfing and drinking, I’ve encountered myriad golf course cocktails, and I’ve found that while you can’t beat the classic flask of whiskey, there’s nothing better than a crisp, refreshing beer on a warm summer day spent enjoying 18 holes. Who cares if you’re hitting eagles or double bogeys left and right if you have a nice beer to sip?
