Being a community gathering space, it's important that we have a large selection of NA beverages for our customers who may want more than beer.

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

What in the heck is Switchel yous 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.
