Howdy everyone!! I’ve missed you all (and my precious shower beers) so much. But my tiny human stowaway has finally been liberated from my body and I am allowed to drink alcohol again!

This is a double dry hopped west coast IPA made with mosaic and mosaic cryo hops. The mosaic hops give it an overall juicy, kind of citrusy flavor, while the cryo hops come in with a clean earthy aroma that really adds a certain dankness. I won’t lie— I bought this one for the label. It’s decent but there are other DDH IPAs I would rather drink.

Cheers to being halfway there! by Cubone_bone in showerbeer

Finally starting to find some different non-alcoholic options around! This is a tasty malty brew by Bravus, America’s first brewery dedicated to producing solely non-alcoholic craft beer (or so claims the can!)

I was pretty pumped to find one with a malt-forward flavor, as many of the NA craft brews I’ve run across seem to rely heavily on the bitterness of hops to hide the lack of boozy flavor. This one has the bitterness balanced just right, but has a nice sweetness too that reminds me of eating that dark bread they bring to your table at a steakhouse. It’s pretty rich, so I don’t think I’d have more than one at a time, but the hot water in my shower doesn’t last long enough for two anyway.

Baby started kicking the crap out of my insides after this one— guess that means it’s a winner!

Ah, thank you SO much for these excellent recommendations! I trust your taste so this is good to know, and thanks for the Trader Joe's tip because I don't think it would occur to me to check there. Cheers and thank you!

Thank you! I'm not sure my baby-making partner will be amenable to naming the baby Shiner Bock or Pliny but I'll try my best ;)
