Deb, Mocktail Mom

Let your heart be strengthened and encouraged by Episode 9 of the podcast as you meet my guest, Rich Loud.  

In early April 2020, Rich Loud realized that his drinking was becoming too much of a daily habit. So, with the support of his family and a couple of friends, he stopped. Although at first, he thought his social life was pretty much over, after about a month, he tasted his first non-alcoholic beer, realized he got the flavor and experience he wanted but none of the negative effects, and a whole new world opened. Fast forward to almost three years alcohol-free and he is having more fun than he ever thought possible. He is tasting all the NA beers, mixing amazing NA cocktails, and even discovering excellent NA wines. For Rich Loud, being alcohol-free is the best adventure.

 From the Episode, Rich's Favorites: 

  • Mocktail: Speechless featuring Lyre's Highland Malt, The Pathfinder, All The Bitter Aromatic & Orange + Luxardo cherry juice. 
  • NA Wines: Joyus Cabernet Sauvignon & Lautus Savvy Red. Code MOCKTAILMOM saves $ on either of these wines. 
  • NA Beers (depends on the situation): WellBeing Intentional IPA, WellBeing Victory Wheat, Busty Lush Oatmeal Stout  & Rescue Club Brewing 
  • Hashtag: #SpottedInTheWildNA
