Why ONP5 Exists
And Why We’ll Never Be “Just Another Webshop" How It Started For years, I stopped drinking alcohol for a fixed period every year. In the beginning, I was extremely strict. Not a drop. Not even a chocolate with liqueur. Nothing that contained even a trace of alcohol. Until one day I “accidentally” drank a Palm 0.5. I was a bit annoyed and felt cheated. But honestly? I liked it. Slowly, my view on alcohol-free beer changed. That 0.5% wasn’t a problem for me. And I started appre

IPA is geen smaak, maar een categorie. West Coast IPA’s zijn helder, droog en bitter, ontstaan uit de vroege Amerikaanse craft beer-scene. East Coast IPA’s volgden als gebalanceerde tegenhanger, met meer body en minder scherpte. Later ontstond de New England IPA als aparte stijl: troebel, zacht en fruitig. Ook bij alcoholvrij geldt: de ene IPA is de andere niet.

The 10 tastiest alcohol-free IPAs of the moment
Non-alcoholic IPAs are more popular than ever. And that's no surprise: with an IPA, extra hops help compensate for the lack of alcohol. Hops provide bitterness, aroma, and that distinct beer-like character IPA lovers crave. This top 10 includes both West Coast IPAs (drier and more bitter) and East Coast/NEIPAs (fruity, aromatic, and often a bit milder). The difference lies primarily in the hop varieties and how they're used: bittering hops, aroma hops, or a combination of b

About sober_boozers_club

I set up the sober boozers club in 2022 after I decided to get sober. I say I decided to get sober, I was forced to because in active addiction I more or less hit rock bottom, hurting people close to me, hurting myself and being generally unpleasant to be around.
