U.S. of N/A: Non-Alcoholic Beer and Beverages

Forging An Inclusive And Sustainable NA Community In The Steel City

N/ATION Beer Season 1 Episode 11

We travel to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for this episode, and sit down with the co-owner of Two Frays Brewery, Mike Onofray, and the owner of The Open Road, Mel Babitz. The two businesses have forged a partnership with a series of unique collaborations that have helped bring non-alcoholic beer and beverages to their Pittsburgh community. In our conversation we talk about how they each got started, why the LGBTQ community has been so far in front of the NA movement, what inclusiveness means to the category, and how a smaller brewery that primarily makes full-alcohol beer like Two Frays can drive meaningful revenue from leaning into a non-alcoholic program.
