Sipping and Sampling: Non-Alcoholic Beer Taste Test with Kelly & Jay

Come along for our Sipping and Sampling of non-alcoholic beer with me, Kelly, and my husband Jay. It was a great way to experience different flavors and styles without the worry of overindulging. There are a wide variety of non-alcoholic beers available, ranging from light lagers to dark ales and everything in between.
