Just when you thought the wellness industry had reached peak absurdity, along comes the latest trend: "functional beer." Yes, apparently regular beer wasn't complicated enough. So, basically, imagine if kombucha and an IPA had a baby that spent too much time listening to wellness podcasts. That said, non-alcoholic beer still has a few hurdles to overcome. For starters, many people complain that it costs almost as much as regular beer, doesn't taste nearly as good and somehow still contains enough calories to make you question your life choices.
