    Complex Cocktails Made with Love: Shelley Elkovich, Founder of For Bitter for Worse.

    Complex Cocktails Made with Love: Shelley Elkovich, Founder of For Bitter for Worse.

    For Bitter For Worse was inspired by Shelley and Jeff Elkovich’s long, sparky marriage and love for celebration.
    When they made the choice to drink less alcohol, they were frustrated by the lack of sophisticated options. They are innovators and flavor-chasers who set out to make the kinds of drinks they enjoyed - cocktails they were proud to serve their friends. This led to delicious drinks containing no added flavors—“natural” or otherwise—and are low glycemic and low carb, sweetened with pure monk fruit, wine grape nectar, or maple syrup. Simply put, they’re delicious AF! 
    Whether you’re the designated driver, sober for life, or just pacing yourself at a party— For Bitter For Worse has you covered!

    Partake in Life with Non-Alcoholic Craft Beer with Ted Fleming, Founder & CEO of Partake.

    Partake in Life with Non-Alcoholic Craft Beer with Ted Fleming, Founder & CEO of Partake.

    Over a decade ago Ted Fleming, Founder & CEO of Partake, gave up alcohol due to a medical condition but missed the taste and discovery of new craft beers. But more than that, he missed the social connection that comes from sharing a drink with a colleague after a hard day's work or joining in to celebrate special occasions with family and friends.
    So a friend suggested that he try non-alcoholic beer. The problem was most of the non-alcoholic beer he tried tasted awful, and there was almost nothing in terms of variety. Unfortunately the long-standing stigma surrounding non-alcoholic beer had been well deserved.
    Ted launched Partake Brewing to bring all the things that make craft beer great to non-alcoholic beer drinkers including taste, variety, authenticity, creativity, and passion.

    Reimagining Spirits for the Adventurous Drinker with Brad Whiting, Co-Founder & CEO of Wilderton.

    Reimagining Spirits for the Adventurous Drinker with Brad Whiting, Co-Founder & CEO of Wilderton.

    Wilderton Founders Brad Whiting and Seth O’Malley came together for a new vision of distilling. Brad, a liquor industry veteran, longed for drink options that would celebrate the complexity and experience of a traditional spirit but that paired better with an active lifestyle. Seth, an expert distiller, had a passion for botanicals and was feeling constrained by the limited flavors celebrated in spirits.
    When the two connected, the answer was clear: they set out to create distilled spirits rooted in flavor, unbound by alcohol. With Oregon’s adventurous spirit as their guide, Seth and Brad began a two-year journey of experimentation. Free from the confines of traditional thinking, they combed Seth’s vast library of botanical samples, tried dozens of wild combinations, and experimented with various production methods. The goal? To create spirits with unique flavor and complexity that would elevate non-alcoholic cocktails.
    The beautiful result was Wilderton.

    Delicious Non-Alcoholic Bourbon with Lauren Chitwood, Co-Founder & CEO of Spiritless.

    Delicious Non-Alcoholic Bourbon with Lauren Chitwood, Co-Founder & CEO of Spiritless.

    Spiritless started from a simple premise — that you can make a cocktail that isn’t a cocktail, one that everyone can enjoy. Creating a non-alcoholic spirit in the birthplace of bourbon isn’t for the meek and mild.
    But the Spiritless team’s history of entrepreneurship, coupled with their decades of full-proof spirits experience, told them it could be done. Their early efforts at distilling non-alcoholic spirits were mixed, at best. (If you’re picturing a PVC pipe and a popcorn machine, well, you’re not too far off.) Undaunted, they kept experimenting. Taste-testing. Tinkering.
    The result was Kentucky 74, a beautifully distilled non-alcoholic spirit crafted to complement your favorite bourbon cocktails. It serves up a high quality, smooth finish, underpinned by familiar notes of caramel, vanilla and oak... without the regrettable, I-need-to-rethink-my-life-choices next days. Spiritless supports the conscientious cocktailers, the no-and-low-ers, the people who want to live fully but drink differently.
    Spiritless allows you to cut down your alcohol intake — and your calories — so you can shake, stir, sip and celebrate the way you want.

Be4utious ,

Thank you!!!

Recently hit 3 months sober and I’m so excited to have found this podcast through the grapevine of online resources, the last one of course being from the For All Drinks online event. My first month was really difficult, I pretty much just drank seltzer and kombucha. But now that I have found GOOD tasting NA beers and spirits it really has changed my outlook on a future without alcohol. Thank you for bringing this community together.
