Not long ago, Tate Huffard had an idea and a vision for how he believed non-alcoholic beer is "supposed to taste". He founded Best Day Brewing. At first, he was marketing the product from the trunk of his car. But not anymore.

Tate Huffard and his Head Brewer Jeremy Rudolf both joined us to talk about their wonderful NA options. Found at many stores across the country. One of the first to jump on board from the very beginning, Whole Foods!

With the ever-changing craft beer market, Best Day Brewing is making an impact. We tried for ourselves what they have to offer and talked about it during this episode.

These gentlemen tell us, they don't expect you to stop drinking your favorite craft beer options. Add some NA from Best Day! Their message of "changing your mindset" will resonate through this entire interview.

Dry January is always a busy time for companies like Best Day Brewing. But the real excitement comes right now. The summer season is here! Many are looking for something a little lighter this time of the year.

We think you will really enjoy the story of how Best Day Brewing got started and the entire process that goes into making the product appealing.

Cheers!
