The end of the year is a great time to reflect on your favorite moments and take stock of the past 12 months. After the Christmas and New Year celebrations, it's the perfect moment to set goals for January and make those traditional New Year's resolutions. While many people aim to start a sport like jogging or swimming, or begin a diet to lose weight, PerfectDraft invites you to consider three smart resolutions for enjoying beer more responsibly.
1 – Drink less alcohol
At first glance, resolving to drink less alcohol while still enjoying beer may sound contradictory — but it's entirely possible!
Alcohol-free beers allow you to enjoy the flavors of hops and malt without the alcohol. To be fully transparent, alcohol-free beer can still contain trace amounts of alcohol, and the legal definition varies by country. In Belgium, for instance, the limit is 0.5%, while in France it can go up to 1.2%. French breweries have been crafting alcohol-free options since the 1980s, but the trend has truly taken off since 2015.
PerfectDraft offers a selection of delicious non-alcoholic craft beers that prove you don’t need alcohol to enjoy great taste. Among our favorites are Antropomorf by Swedish brewery Omnipollo, Big Easy by Thornbridge in the UK, and the iconic Nanny State from Scotland’s Brewdog. These beers are all featured in our curated 12-pack of alcohol-free beers. Prefer a smaller option? Try our 6-pack to explore without overcommitting. Bonus: non-alcoholic beers typically have 30–40% fewer calories than regular beers, thanks to less added sugar.
2 – Make more conscious choices
Another great resolution is to be more mindful of what and how you consume. The start of the year is a great time to adopt this practice. Conscious consumption can take many forms — buying local, choosing organic, or supporting sustainable producers. While local products may sometimes include chemicals, organic options might be imported, leading to a higher carbon footprint. Finding a balance between environmental concerns and personal health goals is key.
3 – Spend less, brew more
Some resolutions are not just good for your health — they’re good for your wallet too. Why not try brewing your own beer at home?
Homebrewing is now more accessible than ever with a range of easy-to-use kits like the Beer Kit. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced brewer, these kits include everything you need — equipment, ingredients, and clear instructions. You can brew between 4 and 12 litres depending on the recipe, making it both a fun activity and a cost-effective solution.
From all of us at PerfectDraft, Happy New Year! As always, our resolution remains the same: to keep sharing the very best in craft beer with you throughout the year.
ALCOHOL ABUSE IS DANGEROUS FOR YOUR HEALTH. PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY.
