On this week's episode, we're joined by Jeff Stevens, the visionary founder of Wellbeing Brewing. If you've ever wondered how to build a mission-driven company that not only thrives in a competitive market but also challenges industry norms, this is an episode you won't want to miss. Jeff has taken the craft beer world by storm with a bold idea: creating non-alcoholic beers that don't just taste great but also align with a lifestyle of balance, health, and mindfulness. From humble beginnings to national recognition, Wellbeing Brewing is redefining what it means to enjoy a beer. In this insightful conversation, we dive into the NA category and talk about who are his real competitors and who are his real consumers. We tackle the challenges of scaling a business while staying true to your core values? And what are the things that keep a founder like Jeff up at night? Pour yourself a glass and let's roll… #brewing #nonalcoholic #stlouis #craftbeer

When Jeff Stevens stopped drinking in the early 90s, there were very few options when he'd go out with friends to a bar. Finally, he decided to change that. In 2017, he founded Wellbeing Brewing Company, a nonalcoholic craft beer brand that's help shaped the way of the category in the beverage business. Now, in 2025, they have several different beer varieties, plus they are expanding into the CBD and, eventually, the THC beverage landscape. Jeff shares the science behind the beer, the growing movement away from alcohol and what excites him most about building a community for the sober and sober curious.

This week, as Justin celebrates three years sober, we discuss alcohol and its role on self-care. What do we actually know about alcohol? How much of what we know if fact and how much of it is assumed or passed down information? Is a glass of wine good for you? This episode dives into the nitty gritty of drinking and provides a roadmap to assess your own choices when it comes to alcohol. As Justin says many times throughout the episode, he's not telling you to get drinking, just be more aware of what you put into your body.

Week 4 of drinking Non-Alcoholic beers just so happens to land on 4/20. So, we decided we should "Dank" it up a little bit with another Non-Alcoholic IPA from Wellbeing Brewing Co. BUT, even with the added flavor, we're still staying sober for the drug test we will take for our next travel nurse assignment. ;) If someone handed us this beer and told us that it's just a regular IPA, we would believe them. That is just a little bit about how well this beer kept its flavor through the removal of alcohol in the brewing process.

Dry January Series #1A month of exploring the most innovative non-alcoholic craft brands in the world & the sober curious movement.“Alcohol is one of the very few drugs that you have to defend yourself for not using."On this week's episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast, I sit down with the awesome Tom Halaska.  Tom is the Head of Branding for the non-alcoholic craft beer pioneer WellBeing Brewing.  We talk about Tom's journey to sobriety and how he ended up at WellBeing, how he defines his own sobriety, what dropping alcohol has done for Tom's life, why he tries not to beat up his previous self, how difficult it is to brew a non-alcoholic craft beer, where WellBeing fits into the beverage market, the explosion of non-alcoholic craft beer over the past 5 years, why general awareness about alcohol consumption and Gen Z is driving the growth of the category, the importance of normalizing conversations about alcohol and mental health, and his advice for quitting drinking or drinking less. What a great way to kick off the Dry January Series!Show NotesWellBeing Brewing WebsiteWellBeing InstagramTom's Instagram

Work happy hours. Lunch at a brewery. Holiday parties. Dinner with friends. Imagine each of these scenarios. Now picture them without any alcohol. It's nearly impossible, right? For those who partake in the occasional drink, having fun often seems to go hand-in-hand with alcohol — and it can be pretty exclusionary for those who don't drink for one reason or another. Jeff Stevens, founder of the WellBeing Brewing Company, is working to change that. Jeff spent years marketing top beer brands before founding WellBeing Brewing in 2017. The company is the first craft brewery in the country dedicated to brewing non-alcoholic beer.  Jeff has been in recovery from the age of 24. As a self-described “non-alcoholic,” Wellbeing Brewing scratched his own itch. But he's realized there are many different people who want a great-tasting beverage without alcohol. “There are lots of people who don't drink. There are lots of people who aren't drinking at a particular time —  that particular night, this particular round — and to have some thoughtful beverages for them just makes complete sense,” Jeff says on this episode of The Empowered Challenger. To create appealing non-alcoholic options that look and sound cool, Jeff was inspired by the “fun, funky aesthetic” on Cherokee Street in St. Louis. Bold names for beverages — like its dark amber beverage “Hellraiser” — add to the appeal. Jeff has also worked hard to ensure the drinks actually taste good — not so easy for non-alcoholic beers. He says, “We all want to try something better than O'Doul's.” Prentice's Takeaway

Happy St. Patrick's Week! Grab a bowl of Lucky Charms, turn on your favorite "Leprechaun" movie, and DO NOT forget about your beer. On this episode of "A Beer with Atlas," we drink three Irish Reds. One from our local brewery, Nebraska Brewing Company, another from Boulevard Brewing, and the last one is a surprise from WellBeing Brewing. Listen as we dive into not only our beers, but the evolution of Lucky Charm's marshmallows and the very not so famous... "famous?" Leprechaun movies.
