Jul 25, 2023 02:41PM ● By ANNA BRATTON
Are you looking for a fun night out, without booze? As more people choose to reduce or eliminate their alcohol consumption, the non-alcoholic drink market continues to grow. This trend has led to the creation of many non-alcoholic craft beers, cocktails, and other drinks that offer the same complex flavors as their alcoholic counterparts.

Your reason for choosing non-alcoholic beverages doesn’t matter—Missouri has a variety of options crafted right here in the state. WellBeing Brewing Company, Boulevard Brewing Company, and Spring Branch Kombucha all offer a variety of options for every palate.

HEAVENLY BODY GOLDEN WHEAT

One of the most notable non-alcoholic beers in the market is the Heavenly Body Golden Wheat from WellBeing in St. Louis. This American-style wheat beer is a perfect alternative for people looking to reduce or eliminate their alcohol consumption, and it’s all about a refreshing check in with the body. 

This beverage is packed with flavor and has more complexity than a lager. Crafted with Cascade and German hops, this beer boasts a citrusy flavor that balances perfectly with the lighter malts. The resulting brew is dry, crisp, and smooth, with a rich, full-bodied mouthfeel.

In partnership with Schlafly, the first independent craft brewery in St. Louis, WellBeing is expanding its reach to consumers across the state. The company's mission is to offer people a choice to be present in the moment, connect with others, and be mindful of their health. The Heavenly Body Golden Wheat is a great example of a non-alcoholic beer that does just that. It offers complex flavors and is perfect for people who want to reduce or eliminate their alcohol consumption. WellBeing's mission to create a mindful style of living is an inspiration for others to follow.
