Trying to cut back on alcohol intake? You’re not alone! Many people choose to participate in Dry January, a month-long challenge to abstain from alcoholic beverages. But giving up booze doesn’t mean sacrificing flavour or fun. Here at Taste Cheshire, we’re proud to highlight fantastic local selections of low- and no-alcohol options that are perfect for Dry January and beyond.

Why Dry January?

There are many reasons to give Dry January a try. Here are a few:

• Improved health: Abstaining from alcohol can lead to better sleep, increased energy levels, and weight loss.
• Sharper mind: Alcohol can impair cognitive function. Taking a break can help you feel more focused and clear-headed.
• Save money: Alcoholic drinks can be expensive. Dry January is a great way to save some cash.
• Reset your relationship with alcohol: Dry January can help you assess your drinking habits and make healthier choices in the future.

Locally-Sourced Alcohol-Free Choices in Cheshire

We understand that finding delicious non-alcoholic options can be a challenge. But fear not! We’ve got you covered with two fantastic locally-made drinks:

• Pussy Cat: The Purrfect Low-Alcohol Beer

Weetwood Ales have been on a mission to create a low-alcohol beer that doesn’t compromise on taste. After years of trial and error, we’re thrilled to introduce their new “Pussy Cat”, a 0.5% ABV version of the ever-popular Cheshire Cat. Brewed with the same dedication to quality and flavour, Pussy Cat delivers all the refreshment you crave without the alcohol.

• CHANCE Clean Cider: Tradition Meets Innovation

Looking for a refreshing cider alternative? Look no further than CHANCE Clean Cider, produced in the UK and available from Weetwood too. This innovative cider is made with the finest apples from the British Cider Triangle and expertly crafted to reduce alcohol content from a full-bodied 8.2% cider to a sessionable 0.5% ABV. The unique liquoring-down process ensures CHANCE Clean Cider retains all the taste, body, and mouthfeel of a traditional cider, making it a perfect choice for cider lovers participating in Dry January.

Both Pussy Cat and CHANCE Clean Cider are available now from Weetwood Ales! So why not raise a glass (or bottle) to a healthier and happier you this Dry January?
