My listeners and newsletter readers know I love Athletic Brewing non-alcoholic brews. I love the quality and the variety. And I love that you can have them delivered straight to your door from AthleticBrewing.com But did you know that Athletic is also a Certified B Corp donating up to $2 million annually to protect and restore outdoor spaces around the globe through their Two for the Trails program? Personally, I love that this is a company that gives back to the community. It’s a real reflection of the culture they’ve built there. And supporting hiking trails and maintaining outdoor spaces is a very cool cause that I feel great about supporting when I drink Athletic. Try Athletic Brewing Non-alcoholic Brews for yourself!
