Brews News: Harmon’s sees growth potential in near-beer | London Free Press

Brewed under contract at Equals Brewing in London, Harmon’s is the creation of Mill Street co-founder Steve Abrams and former Mill Street head brewer and current Niagara College instructor Rob Doyle.

“There are many factors, but we see older millennials as the primary driving force behind the surge in non-alcoholic beer’s popularity,” Abrams said in an email.

I think craft non-alcoholic will eventually evolve into a recognized segment by consumers as small brewers change Canadians’ attitudes toward non-alc beer.

“Dry January has grown steadily in popularity since its inception, but this year’s jump is the biggest we’ve ever seen,” said Veronica Fletcher of Pantry and Larder, which analyzed Google Trends data from the past nine years.

Here’s hoping this 7.5 per cent strong beer returns as a seasonal and wasn’t just a celebratory swan song for Railway City’s original owners.

The idea for Bone Pine IPA started with an Instagram post by two Beertown patrons enjoying Sawdust City’s Lone Pine and Third Moon’s Bone Tree.

Shadows IPA uses Amarillo Cryo and Citra hops and it might leave you dreaming of the Florida Keys and key limes.

Southcrest, named for a ‘hood near the brewery, is a solid choice for those who want less alcohol without taking it to zero.
