Also, hopefully you can get Travla on board for a zero alcohol version? 🙏🏼

Thanks Trude. Zero Alcohol beer has its place, but I’m a big fan of mid strength. Think it’s a better balance and prefer a sparkling water if I don’t want alcohol.

Yeah...it gets a bit boring on the waters if you don’t drink at all 🤷🏻‍♀️

Who says you need to drink to have fun!

Exactly. I’ve been sober since April, but find that zero alcohol options at most bars are very same same and focussed on sickly sweet stuff or expensive mocktails. I love the zero alcohol beers. They taste amazing, and go so well with food too.

ice! Do you go Heaps Normal or Capital’s Alcoless?

Great northern was the beer I use to drink so it’s cool to be with the team trying to take them down

I love heaps normal because there’s variety - I’ve tried 3 of theirs now. I loved the one I had on the R4R roadtrip ‘Half Day Hazy’! Also like ‘Nort’ because it tastes alright and in a decent price bracket. Haven’t tried Capital Brewing yet.

Congratulations, Ben. Proves that sometimes you just need to put one foot in front of the other, even if you don't quite know where you're heading. This is great news and I am so happy for you.
