  • Zero-Proof Pittsburgh: Part II

    Zero-Proof Pittsburgh: Part II
    May 21 2025

    Who said local breweries can't do an NA beer profitably? And how did Pittsburgh wind-up with so much happening in the local non-alcoholic scene? In this Part II of our two-part series from the Steel City, we finish our interview with The Open Road's Mel Babitz, and the Loaded Food Group's Katrina Tomacchio (also known as The Northeast Ginger on IG), who talk about the local scene and what's coming up. We then chat with owners Mike and Jen Onofray of the city's Two Frays Brewery, with an update on how they've been successful making non-alcoholic beer a growing part of their efforts. Lastly, we hear from The Open Road's Hailey Phillips, who shares some news of her own on a first-of-its-kind NA Cocktail Week coming up this July.

    Zero-Proof Pittsburgh: Part I
    May 19 2025

    Nearly a year removed from our first visit, we return to the Steel City in the new location (and future lounge) of the longest-running non-alcoholic specialty retailer in the country, The Open Road. With so much happening in the local NA scene, we split our visit into a two-part episode. In Part I, we include much of our interview with The Open Road's Mel Babitz, and Katrina Tomacchio of the Loaded Food Group (also known as The Northeast Ginger on IG), who share their thoughts on everything from raising funds as a small business, to the growth in popularity in food and non-alcoholic drink pairings, as more people embrace and understand the category.
