The newest nonalcoholic beer in New York State!! This is brewed down near NYC then sent to Minnesota to have the alcohol removed, then back to New York. Just one reason why nonalcoholic options aren’t cheaper just because there’s no alcohol in them!

I understand there are some cool folks over here!! Seems like a good time to try something new. 🤘🏻
