Hydrated July: Join Us for the July 10 Independence Party in Salt Lake City!
HAPPY HUNGOVER-FREE INDEPENDENCE DAY!
If you’re in Salt Lake City next week Thursday, swing on by our Dry July Independence Party for some tasty drinks, BBQ, and a freedom-celebrating game of charades. We’ll keep you guessing as our guests contort themselves in an attempt to communicate while keeping their traps shut for a hot sec.
As the summer heats up, many of us find ourselves reaching for a cold beverage to cool off and unwind. That was me today after returning from hiking the Wolverine Cirque up at Brighton, followed by viewing the most delightful small town America parade you can imagine.
I reached for a HopWtr Double Dry Hopped and am sipping on this bubbly hop concoction with adaptogens (ashwaganda) and nootropics ( l-theanine) as I type these words. Yum and hoppy relaxation that comes in a can. How convenient!
It was in July, three (!) years ago, that I discovered the joy of drinking nonalcoholic brews and launched this blog. Change can be challenging, and yet so rewarding. I will have a drink about twice a week on average, and I feel so much better not drinking alcohol every day or whenever the occasion seemingly calls for it. Like today…Independence Day is yet another day that many folks associate with day drinking. Not me. Not anymore. I’ll be the lady hauling the NA cooler to the party tonight and meeting everyone there who’s trying to moderate, drive home tonight, or not look like a fool in front of their children. (Hi, guys! Sure, grab a can. Enjoy!) You can read more about my own journey here.
Look, July is hot. I get it. The drinks are cold. But NA beer goes down so much easier than the alcoholic stuff. It just tastes refreshing and doesn’t leave you hanging out to dry.
✔️ Curious about craft NA beers that actually taste good?
✔️ Want to try a mocktail that doesn't taste like syrupy fruit juice?
✔️ Just like the idea of being smugly hydrated at parties?
I got you.
Check out the archives for NA drink reviews, follow @buzzfreebrews on Instagram, email me something like “what’s the best NA sparkling wine you’ve tried?,” or just quietly lurk until you're ready to dip your toes into the sober-curious waters.
No pressure. No preachy vibes. Just more mornings where you remember how you got home. 😉
And if you’re in Salt Lake City next week….

This is a party for curious adventurers, looking to make genuine connections without the social crutch of alcohol. Enjoy curated icebreakers, tasty non-alcoholic drinks, and real good BBQ—and it’s all included with your ticket which helps offset the costs of putting on this event while proceeds go to feed school children in Guatemala. We have amazing drink sponsors like Curious Elixirs (see my review here) and Athletic Brewing (where I am proud to serve as an ambassador).
Spaces are limited, because our backyard is cozy. :)
Let's toast to good times fueled by good-for-you drinks, deep conversations, and meaningful connections. See below for a pic of the curious crew who joined us last May.
Hope to see you there!
