A zero proof take on a signature Texas brew

One of the most iconic beers from the Lone Star State is greeting the Dry January craze in style. The Texas beer, initially brewed by European immigrants back in the early 20th Century, is embracing current norms. Come 2026, a non-alcoholic version of Shiner Bock will be available across the land.

The ever-popular beer will likely only become more so, given trending things like low-to-no consumption and wellness pushes. It’s yet another addition to the fast-growing non-alcoholic beer category, expected to continue surging still in the new year. With NA versions spanning all styles, there’s never been a better time to check out the arena.

“We are seeing a generational shift in how people enjoy beer,” says Nick Weiland, brand director at Shiner Beer. “Shiner Bock has been a legendary Texas favorite since it debuted in 1913. With Shiner Bock Non-Alcoholic, long-time fans and new drinkers alike can enjoy the ritual of an ice-cold Shiner, regardless of alcohol content.”

Look out for the new brew in 2026. Many others are likely to join, especially in the non-alcoholic realm. We’re starting to see great NA renditions of styles all across the board, ranging from kolsch beers to IPAs, porters, and stouts.

Shiner Bock is the work of K. Spoetzl Brewery and the top craft beer in Texas. It’s located in Shiner, Texas and dates back to 1909. The Shiner label is the pride of the brand and the flagship bock beer has introduced countless fans to a taste of European-inspired beer.

Europe is slowly embracing wine in pouches instead of bottles. Is America next?

Boxed wine gets a bad rap because, well, it’s wine in a box. You’ve heard all the negative connotations by now: They’re cheap, unsophisticated, and downright boring. You walk into any party with boxed wine, and you’ll not only raise eyebrows, but also be persona non grata at the next shindig. I’ve personally never sipped wine from a box, though that has a lot to do with the fact that my introduction to wine happened when a date of mine from more than 20 years ago ordered a bottle of Château Ste. Michelle Riesling at a restaurant I frequented. The Riesling was sweet, crisp, and truly delicious for someone who runs on beer, tequila, rum, and whiskey. That bottle of Riesling, however, sparked curiosity: Buying a dozen red and white bottles of wine from my local shop in Pasadena, California. The bottles sat mostly on my wine rack collecting dust. I’d open one every few months when guests preferred something buttery or fruity over carbonated or oaky booze.

It wasn’t until my trip across Tuscany in April 2018 that I really learned to appreciate wine. After touring the tiny village, one wine came out on top, and it’s one I order every chance I get when dining out: Chianti Classico. But always make sure the bottle carries the black rooster symbol. The older I get, the more I appreciate a glass of wine. Heck, last summer while visiting Cuban Creations Cigar Bar in New Orleans, the lovely waitress recommended a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon for the Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva cigar I was about to light. It was a great recommendation.

Twenty years is a long time to wait for anything, let alone a whisky, but Bowmore is betting its newest release is one worth the delay.

The distillery, founded in 1779 in the town of Bowmore, is the oldest licensed distillery on Islay. It’s also the second-oldest in Scotland, and one of the few that still runs its own floor maltings, using peat smoke to dry the barley on-site.
