NON-ALCOHOLIC OPTIONS
Atlética: is a refreshingly bright take on a Mexican-style copper. Using the finest Munich malts, it boasts a lightly toasted malt character with a whisper of spicy florals before rolling into smooth and lightly sweet waves of bread crust and wheat. A medium-body brew that is big in flavor, it’s the epitome of easy drinking. A smooth and satisfying cooler must-have.
REPOSE: a non-alcoholic, low calorie social tonic by Lucky Frog - formulated with a special blend of ashwagandha, magnesium, and organic fruit juices that melts away stress and helps you chill out - without the hangover. And the best part? It’s good luck.
Katboocha: pride themselves on producing "drinkable kombucha" , Kat often describe their varying brews as: crushable, thirst-quenching, light, dazzling, citrucy, juicy, tart, or slightly sweet! There's no secret ingredient that makes our kombucha unique, rather it's the minimalist technique that keeps us tasty and true. Katboocha is made with tea, sugar, water + kombucha culture. No added sugar, no added probiotics.
Joe Bean Cold Brew: is created from coffee sourced through Azahar Coffee Company, our long-time partner, who shares our vision for a fair and prosperous coffee economy. This particular blend comes from small-holding farms in the Northern Huila region of Colombia. This high altitude area is known for its sweet, juicy coffees. Naturally flavorful with notes of caramel, grapefruit, orange, blackberry, and cantaloupe
IPNA: What are you getting without the alcohol? A piney, dank bolt of Citra, Mosaic, & Columbus hops, nestled by smooth and caramel notes of English crystal malt and Canadian 2-row barley. Sound familiar? it’s because we use the same ingredients to make our IPA. The only difference is that we pull this one before all the flavors get too mature to create a distinctly clean and satisfyingly flavor-forward Non-Alcoholic IPA.
Hoppy Refresher: is a zippy and zingy highly carbonated dry-hopped sparkling water. We added a pinch of brewer’s yeast to biotransformate the hops and pull out terpenes (AKA aroma compounds) of bubblegum, lime, lemon, tangerine, and a bit of pine.
























































Certain Death is a love letter to an era of amp towers, flashy guitars, long hair, and the almighty LP. Born in the darkest depths of the pandemic in mid-2020, Certain Death was, initially, simply an outlet for lead singer and guitar player Henry Black to express individual loss at a time of generational trauma and personal disarray.
Today @certaindeathnyc 's stage show has the earned expectations of gratuitous guitar harmonies, dueling guitar solos, and multiple layers of satire to go along with a front line of matching white guitars and basses. The band has shared bills with The Thing, The Gories, and The Black Lips, to name a few. In October 2024, Certain Death released their debut LP, Strange Garden, to widespread industry acclaim, and have spent the time since writing and recording their upcoming EP, “Here Lies Certain Death”.
