Live Without Compromise: How We’re Refreshing Our Routine This Spring

Keep your routine interesting with variety

But what could possibly beat a classic, hoppy IPA, you ask? Well, one that doesn’t leave you with a headache the next day. The Athletic Run Wild IPA is brewed with a blend of five Northwest hops, but has only 70 calories and is alcohol-free. It tastes like the real deal, and you don’t have to keep track of how many you’ve had.

Of course, sometimes the mood hints at something a bit lighter than an IPA. Perfectly-warm spring days call for epic picnics, and the Athletic Upside Dawn Golden Ale. This golden ale is equal parts refreshing, balanced, and light-bodied — ideal for sips between tossing the frisbee. Crafted to remove gluten and winner of the 2020 Best of Craft Beer Awards — this non-alcoholic beer is the epitome of healthy drinking.

We know that refreshing your spring routine with less alcohol is a bold move. But it’s made easier by the fact that Athletic Brewing Co has a wide variety of non-alcoholic beers for you to enjoy. Whatever your spring activity may be — an afternoon spent cleaning out the garage or an outdoor BBQ — they have a unique beer profile that’ll hit just right.

A healthy ritual without compromise

Perhaps we can read your mind here… “But doesn’t a non-alcoholic beer mean less fun?” We understand the doubts. But so much of the joy we get from drinking is actually about ritual, versus intoxication. It’s about having something flavorful in hand to enjoy with sunlit conversation, or excitedly packing the cooler for the start of the outdoor volleyball season. Non-alcoholic beers still fulfill the ritual component, and the fact that they’re a bit healthier is something to enjoy even more.

Intuitively we know that skipping the alcohol is always a positive for our health — this spring, we’re simply making a “thing” out of it. So whether we’re going dry indefinitely, or for the day, swapping for a non-alcoholic beer is how we’re up-leveling our wellness. And our minds feel clearer already. Finally, a new health routine without compromise — cheers to that!
