Hi everyone

My partner and I are off to the USA in a few weeks, and I was just wondering what AF drinks you'd recommend, please? I've heard good things about Athletic Brewing.

Thank you

My wife has stopped drinking alcoholic drinks and has gone entirely NA (or at least a close to NA as you can get). More stores are supplying NA options. Not just beer, but wine and spirits, too. The spirits seem to be just heavily spiced water. Burns all the way down, though.

I myself don't drink, so I can't speak to how these taste at all. You mentioned Athletic. That's one my wife gets often. The Blonde is a favorite of hers. She just recently tried an Octoberfest version and liked that. She recently got Blue Moon NA and liked that, especially with the orange slice. If you like seltzers, NA White Claws are a 100% alcohol free options that they spruce up with vitamins and minerals according to the packaging.

We tend to get most of our drinks from a store chain called Total Wine. They do have more NA options than other stores I've been to. If I go and get my wife something, I can usually find something she hasn't had but also one of her staples.
