Recently I wrote about the explosion of new non-alcohol beers, and how much better the category had become.
Athletic Brewing’s Cerveza Atletica Light Copper is one I didn’t get in time to try. But I received a sample last week, and today it’s this week’s Beer Pick.
Beer Pick
Cerveza Atletica Light Copper
Athletic Brewing Co., Stratford, CT
Available in six-pack 12-ounce cans
Profile
Cerveza Atletica is a refreshing, Mexican-inspired NA beer with a lovely copper color. Athletic notes it was made with summertime refreshment in mind. But its blend of Vienna and Munich malts and German Hersbrucker hops create a winning balance of aromas and flavors, with spicy and floral notes, and a palate-cleansing dry finish. And I must say, it’s among the best NA beers I’ve tried.
Pair With
Try this easy-going, NA beer with spicy Mexican food, including nachos, tacos and burritos.
