Padraigs is a community gathering space, in the Irish tradition, so it's important that we have a large selection of NA beverages for our customers who may want something other than our delicious beer.

One of our best selling NA drinks is Switchel from @hobbyfarmerfoods_co, a local NA drink company.

What in the heck is Switchel you ask?

Switchel is a historically popular, refreshing, and hydrating beverage dating back to the 18th century. It was consumed by farmers as an energy-boosting, tangy, and hydrating drink and is based on apple cider vinegar.

Come in an try one!
