Not a beer but...

I know, it's not a beer but, it is one fantastic drink.

I think cider counts on this sub.

I'd definitely give that a go.

That’s made right near where I live. Love seeing local products making their way around!

I know what you mean. I'm in western NY now, over by Letchworth, but originally from the Adirondack region of NY. I was estatic when I found an NA offering from Saranac brewery based out of Utica.

You’re familiar with the other local options though right??

Southern Tier Brewing Company has a Downshift IPA.

Big Ditch has an NA-Burner IPA.

Pearl Street in Buffalo has an NA Amber

Other Half in Canandaigua has a Pale Ale

Twisted Rail has an NA IPA

If you need other local recs, I post stuff to nonrocaholic. I basically spend all my time finding things!

I had no clue. Thanks for opening my eyes!

You got it! The more we are all aware of what’s out there, the more we can buy it and then they keep making it!

The Southern Tier downshift is absolutely fantastic.

Thanks for posting this, I've been looking for a good NA cider. The ones I've tried have pretty much tasted like apple cider vinegar

I can definitely get a hint of that in this but nothing over powering.

If you use Ibotta, there is a $2 rebate in most states

I’m intrigued. There was a while when I was as much into cider as I was beer. I may have to check out some NA ciders.

So I've tried their alcholic stuff and it's fantastic!! My only question is this, and I'll probably come off as bit of smart ass here but... is there not regular apple cider where you live? Or sparkling apple cider? I LOVE the Wegman's Honey Crisp sparkling...so good!

So fizzy apple juice?
