My listeners and newsletter readers know I love Athletic Brewing non-alcoholic brews. I love the quality and the variety. And I love that you can have them delivered straight to your door from AthleticBrewing.com\n\nBut did you know that Athletic is also a Certified B Corp donating up to $2 million annually to protect and restore outdoor spaces around the globe through their Two for the Trails program?\n\nPersonally, I love that this is a company that gives back to the community. It\u2019s a real reflection of the culture they\u2019ve built there. And supporting hiking trails and maintaining outdoor spaces is a very cool cause that I feel great about supporting when I drink Athletic. \n\nTry Athletic Brewing Non-alcoholic Brews for yourself!\nUse code WISDOM to get 15% off your first order at athleticbrewing.com\nNear beer.
