Ep. 235 – What is Dry January And What Are The Options?

Ep. 235 – What is Dry January And What Are The Options?

Author: Joe & Caroline January 11, 2025 Duration: 52:31

January is a unique time of year. It signifies a fresh slate and new beginnings. It's also cold and snowy, and it presents the perfect opportunity to slow down after the hustle and bustle (and perhaps overindulgence) that the Christmas season sometimes brings. For some (including Joe), it may also mean giving up alcohol and becoming healthier.

In this week's episode of the Craft Parenting Podcast, Joe and Caroline dive into the history of Dry January, list some of the options that are available, and discuss some of the benefits and drawbacks.

Remember, if you are participating in Dry January this year, you can still support your favorite Craft Breweries, even if you aren't drinking. Many places offer food and non-alcoholic options.

What We Are Drinking

Joe
NA Helles
Weihenstephaner
Freising, Germany
ABV: 0.5%

"Particularly at the beer garden or on a hot summer’s day at the lake, our non-alcoholic Original Helles pairs well with simple meals or a hearty salad – a refreshing alternative anytime. The fermentation process is not halted early, but rather the beer is allowed to fully mature. Only afterwards is the alcohol removed by means of a process developed with the Technical University of Munich-Weihenstephan, the same one used for our non-alcoholic wheat beer."

Ever feel like your identity gets a little lost between the school run and the bedtime routine? That’s the space where Craft Parenting Podcast lives. Hosted by Cincinnati couple Joe and Caroline Ludwig, this is a conversation between two parents who are also deeply passionate craft beer enthusiasts. They’re figuring it out in real time, with two kids keeping life interesting. In each episode, you’ll hear their unfiltered takes on the week’s small victories and chaos, whether it’s a toddler meltdown in the grocery store or the genuine joy of discovering a fantastic new local brewery. The stories are grounded in their midwestern life, blending tales of family adventures with genuine recommendations for a great pint, often enjoyed after the kids are finally asleep. It’s less about perfect advice and more about the shared experience of holding onto your hobbies and your sense of self while navigating parenthood. Tune in for a relatable, slightly hoppy take on modern family life that reminds you you’re not alone in the beautiful mess.
