Ring, Ring! It’s that time of year again. It is time to set goals and power through the next 12 months. While New Year’s resolutions have a bad reputation, they really shouldn’t. With the big holidays behind us, January provides a mental fresh start and the freedom to say goodbye to whatever happened in 2024. It’s all a matter of setting the right New Year’s resolutions.
It might be a New Year’s resolution. It might be a health kick. Whatever the reason for taking part in Dry January, here at Mellow we are on hand to make sure you can still enjoy the reward of a hard-earned drink in January. Available whenever or however you need it, Athletic Brewing will be available in all our restaurants!
Athletic Brew Company beers are meant to obliterate the stigmas and be enjoyed proudly, taking non-alcoholic beer out of the penalty box forever. You can trust our expert bartenders when they recommend one of their awesome selections of NA beer. Nothing makes it to the bar if it’s not our best. Ever.
With more than 6.5 million people estimated to take part in Dry January in 2025, we will support you during social occasions throughout the month, meaning you can still catch up with friends at the Mellow bar and enjoy a beer together after a long day at work.
Wanting to take a break from alcohol doesn’t mean you have to stop drinking beer. Non-alcoholic beer exists for a reason, and it has many benefits. Besides being delicious! There’s a lot of evidence supporting the health benefits of moderate alcohol consumption, from cardiovascular health to stress and anxiety reduction. There are plenty of reasons to indulge now and again.
Our goal today is to begin normalizing mindful drinking by offering a selection of beer that tastes so good you won’t miss the alcohol. I am not here to discuss being sober or hold that up as the end goal. Whether you’re taking a night off or ditching the booze for life, I reckon it’s time to dive in and talk about something more interesting. I say try one of these beers; you won’t regret it.
Athletic Brewing Company is here to exhibit the full-bodied flavors from their staples like their Hazy IPAs. We have their Free Wave Hazy IPA for those who enjoy the open road. Whatever you’re doing with your new year, whether you’re cruising in the car on a mental health break or riding your bike for those 2025 goals, you can count on Free Wave. The hops used in this mouth-watering IPA are Amarillo, Citra, and Mosaic.
From less flocculant yeast strains to different filtration techniques, there is no shortage of tricks for creating delicious non-alcoholic brews. Essentially, it’s designing a drink backward, considering the mouthfeel, the aroma, and the body to guide the brewmaster in choosing the best ingredients and processes.
Non-alcoholic Wit Bier from Athletic Brewing is a fine example of what can come from these techniques. Let me take you through Wit’s Peak. Aromas of coriander, peppercorn, lemongrass, wheat biscuits, and spiced cookies. A very good nose for the style. On the front palate, there are lots of oranges, coriander, lemon drops, and an undertone of sugar cookies. The mid-palete carries this sweetness, prepping you for a spiced back end. The finish comes in with pepper, cinnamon, and lemon zest. The layers define this brew and it’s fun for anyone looking for something more expansive in their NA collection.
Mellow Mushroom welcomes New Year’s 2025 with excitement; it’s time to bid adieu to the old and welcome the new. Get ready with your resolutions and calendar goals. End the year with a crazy celebration and dance until you drop. The ones who don’t fancy the wild, but wanna get in on the fun? You can kick back and celebrate the new beginning by having a drink at one of your favorite local bars here in Bowling Green. For the lover of unconventional things, there are some very interesting options here at Mellow to kick off the year of the wood snake!
