Barley & Me

Host Ben Rice travels to Sacramento to discuss the world of NA craft beverages (not just beer!) with the owners of the hottest new Alcohol-Free bar in town, Amanda Brincat and Kathryn Altman of The Teetotalist! Joining the conversation is artist, performer, activist, and all around badass Grace Loescher. Over cans of Best Days beverages, we discuss the current movement to a less alcohol-centric social life, creating space for everyone, and showing up as yourself in difficult situations. Plus! Cold press filtration! The healing arts and the art of healing! Accidental research! And so much more, including what a teetotalist even is, how you can help the less-privileged gain access to creative spaces, and my first adaptogenic beverage experience. All this and more, on episode 169 of Barley & Me.
