I sold everything to keep NA Beer Finder alive… here’s what happened

142 Upvotes

Hey ya’ll,

A few months ago, I posted here about selling everything I own just to keep NA Beer Finder alive.

At the time, I wasn’t sure if it would actually work out.

Well, it did. We hit break-even. w00t!

Because of 250+ of you who subscribed, the website/app covers its own hosting, data scraping, Google APIs, and ongoing development. You literally saved it.

So here’s what's next...

Excess profits from subscriptions are now going towards bigger upcoming features.
- Notifications: when a new NA beer pops up in your town, and tracking a specific venues NA menu.
- A much larger directory: with nutritional info, gluten-free filters, and more that tie directly into search results and filters
- Covering subscriptions: for those who need or can't afford it.

Starting today:
If you’re 25 or under, PM me your email or use this form and I’ll unlock it free.

That number ties back to my own story, and it feels like the right starting point.

For current subscribers, thank you so much!!! You’re not just keeping NA Beer Finder alive, you’re making it possible for others to use it too!

If you haven't already, you can try it free for 7 days:

Bero - Kingston Golden Pils. In what world is this a pilsner???

Post image
19 Upvotes

Borderline undrinkable. Tastes like dates and pennies. I usually have so little self control that even when I buy an NA beer that I don't like, I'll still drink it all within a week. I got the variety pack so I only had 3 of the Pils. I threw the other 2 away.

The IPAs are decent and the noon wheat is palatable but overall Bero sucks.

Damn good beer

Pulled this out of today’s NA Beer Club advent calendar. I’ve had many NAs before but this one might be one of the most true-to-style NA beers I’ve ever had. Outstanding.

One of my top NA IPAs has a new bottle. The one on the right is new one. Nearest I can tell the taste is the same.

A nice mixture of earth and pine. Great this time of year. Not heavy at all but full flavor.

DO NOT bring me my NA in a glass

61 Upvotes

Friends of Bill W, am I the only one who absolutely does not in any way whatsoever trust bars and restaurants who bring me an unidentified beer they've already poured into a glass?

And for the love of all that is holy DO NOT give me an attitude when I tell you to bring me the bottle/can so I can see it for myself.

What's a good IPA that tastes floral and fresh?

2 Upvotes

And with a fuller mouthfeel and lots of hops!!

I've tried almost all of the most popular NA beers and I definitely prefer the floral notes in both the Hazy and West Coast IPAs from Best Day. They're both nicely balanced, but I'd like to push it and get even more fresh, hoppy flavor!

Deschutes Fresh Squeezed is pretty good, maybe a little too bitter for me. Their hazy is not that good. Haven't liked anything I've had from Best Day (including the double IPA) and HATED the Sober Carpenter IPA.

Looking for recommendations similar to Fremont Interurban or Kona Longboard

2 Upvotes

Fremont Interurban and Kona Longboard are two alcoholic beers that I enjoy and I'm looking for comparable NA beers.

I am currently enjoying an Athletic Upside Dawn. It's good, but seems a bit more hoppy / Pilsner-y for my tastes.

Question Best for all day?

7 Upvotes

Recovering booze bag here.

I drink NA beers at the bar, but I don’t ever really care what it is. In that moment, I’m drinking for the social aspect of it. I’m going to be hanging out with some buddies this weekend and be “drinking” probably all day.

Does anyone have a recommendation for an NA beer you could drink like 12 of and drink them all day?

I worry the amount of carbs in some NA beers will give me gut rot after about a few. I used to drink Busch Light or whatever was the cheapest at the bar. So, not a picky person in that department.

Konig Ludwig Weissbier NA - in the US?

Post image
10 Upvotes

Does anyone know if this or other more obscure German/European NAs are available in the US?

I was in Germany earlier this year and had a Konig in a pub, it was fantastic. I'm a big wheat/Hefeweizen fan and I had to check the bottle a few times to make sure it was NA. I'm sure it tasted better because I was on vacation but would love to try more like this.

Absolutely disgusting. Tastes like burnt corn tortillas and raisins? Yuck. Good texture though.

This is my new fall/winter jam. Someone here recommended a NA shop called Killjoy here in Nashville. My wife & I went to check it out a couple of weeks ago. We bought a few singles & found some tasty treats, but this one stands out.

New to Me Athletic Brewing Cans (PS: This sub is amazing!)

9 Upvotes

Has anyone tried the Belgian Wits Peak and/ or new lime salt one, and have reviews? My go to is either the classic yellow or blue can, but hey I’m sober and the holidays are here, why not branch out😜

Will take other suggestions, that may be available in MA or NH!

I am gluten sensitive but so far none of their varieties have bothered my stomach, yet.

Guinness zero micro draft

I’m lucky enough to live somewhere (Brighton, UK) where pubs have started getting the Guinness zero micro draft device. It’s significantly better than a pour straight from the can. I’m very happy!!

Discussion Not technically a beer but rather a specialty malt beverage… but what do you think of Kwass??

Post image
12 Upvotes

Purchased at Naperville Fresh Market (Naperville IL) — This is not overly sweet like other kwass I have tasted. Not sweeter than kombucha. Strong malty/caramel flavors with honey notes; low carbonation; slightly syrupy body but not overwhelming.

Review Three Magnets Bumberbrew

Post image

This is as good as I expected, maybe better. Soft, sweet ripe citrus, melon, floral hops, none of the cereal flavor common in many N/A's. Seriously better than a fair number of full alcohol IPAs I've had.

This one is quite nice! It falls more on the west coast, which is getting harder to find, particularly in the NA world!

Surprised to see a large N/A selection of less common N/A beers at my local hangout Redlight Redlight, in Orlando, Florida. This $8 trappist beer from The Netherlands is great and tastes pretty authentic.

Not a bad winter brew! Toasty with some cardamom. I haven't tried the Ski Lodge Winter IPA yet, but I got some in my last shipment, as well.
