Want to enjoy the taste of beer but you don’t want to drink alcohol? Now you can do both with these non-alcoholic beers!
Beer has been an integral part of human culture for centuries, and definitely in the country music world. However, not everyone wishes to drink alcoholic beverages. The good news is that there’s a growing trend in the beverage industry that caters to this desire for moderation and sobriety. To all of you non-drinkers out there, here are some “NA” choices for you.
The Evolution of Non-Alcoholic Beers
Non-alcoholic beers have come a long way from their earlier days of being uninspiring and unappealing. Previously, they seemed to lack in flavor and complexity. They actually taste GOOD now! I know because I drank some during my pregnancy. (My favorite is Athletic Brewing Company)
Health Benefits of These Beers
One of the most significant advantages of non-alcoholic beers is their positive impact on health. Here are some of the few reasons why.
- NA beers have fewer calories than regular beers. If you’re worried about your weight, or looking to reduce calories, non-alcoholic beers are a good option for you.
- Alcoholic beers can be dehydrating to the body, but those with no alcohol in them act as the opposite. They can add hydration to your body. That might be a benefit during the hot summer months. Surprisingly, some NA beers are brewed with ingredients that provide essential vitamins and minerals, such as B-vitamins and antioxidants, contributing to a healthier beverage option.
- But most importantly, avoiding alcohol can be beneficial for liver health. By drinking NA beers, it will reduce the risk of liver damage and related health issues.
The Responsible Choice
We’ve all had too many drunk nights at the bar. But imagine if you switched to a non-alcoholic beer?
Designated drivers, pregnant women, and individuals taking certain medications need not feel left out during gatherings anymore. Non-alcoholic beers are a responsible choice for those who wish to maintain clarity of mind and prioritize their well-being without sacrificing social experiences.
Additionally, non-alcoholic beers are a great way for individuals to cut back on their alcohol consumption gradually. For those looking to reduce their drinking habits or adopt a healthier lifestyle, these beers can serve as a stepping stone.

Here’s A List Of Great Non-Alcoholic Beers For You!
1. Heineken 0.0
I have tried this at the Dierks Bentley show at Xfinity! He told us backstage that he doesn’t drink alcohol so he always has some Heineken 0.0 available in the cooler for others who don’t drink. Both Jackson Blue and I drank one WITH Dierks. That was a cool moment. Jackson Blue stopped drinking over a year ago, and I was pregnant at the time. VERY pregnant.
Both Jackson and I didn’t drink alcohol at the Dierks show last year. But we both tried the Heineken 0.0!
4. Guinness 0.0
This one really intrigues me. I LOVE the taste of Guinness and my husband and I must have had about 200 of them when we visited Ireland in 2019. So this would totally be the beer I would want to drink if I were to get pregnant again, or if I just give up drinking. I can’t imagine giving up drinking, but someday I would like to try a Guinness 0.0 just to say I did it!

Dublin is famous for the Guinness, and now they’ve created Guinness 0.0. WOuld you try it?[/caption]10. Athletic Brewing
Most beer companies have just one version of a non-alcoholic beer. But Athletic Brewing Company’s beer line is ALL non-alcoholic. I tried these when I was pregnant and was very pleasantly surprised at how great they were! Highly suggest to all of the non-alcoholic drinkers.
