The coronavirus pandemic has upended many markets in the last 19 months, while creating some new opportunities. One market opportunity near the start of the pandemic came as people stayed at home, first entirely and then less so, consumed more alcohol. However, there has been pushback against increased consumption as the National Institutes of Health sees that increase in the use of alcohol as a public health problem, which has become more acute during the pandemic. More restaurants are offering alcohol-free mocktails, and craft brewers are entering the non-alcoholic beer market.

    I am a delighted fan of NA beers. The first attempts at NA beer -- decades ago -- were a disaster. But today there are a growing number of outstanding craft NA beers to suit every taste that are really good! I am particular fond of stouts and ambers. I am also pleased to see that several supermarkets that sell wine and beer are starting to carry them.

    I like beer for the taste and to be socially relevant in certain situations. My objective is not to get bombed. The Athletic Brewing Company serves my needs perfectly with a wide array of non-alcoholic craft beers. I think the alcohol-free market was well overdue for options beyond O'Douls and whatever other unbecoming choices we had for many years. Cheers to healthy consumption and no hangovers!

    I certainly wouldn’t drink it but the same idiot Millennials who go to places like Applebee's and think it’s good or buy sandwiches from Subway would probably drink it. I live in Worcester but wouldn't drink Wormtown brewery beer if you gave it to me. I’d rather drive to Stone Cow.

    Yes! It's time for 2% beers with big flavors to match the higher % products out there. Fewer/low calories and negative health effects plus a competitor to seltzers sounds like a marketing opportunity to me. This could also help grow the female beer drinking market too. It's long overdue for America to own up to its extensive & expensive problem with alcoholism & its related health / social issues.
