About Us: Non-Alcoholic-Drinks-for-BBQ

Our Journey and Mission

Founded in 2017, Non-Alcoholic-Drinks-for-BBQ (NAD-BBQ) was born out of a passion for perfect summer evenings and the art of grilling. We recognized a gap in the market for comprehensive, reliable information on non-alcoholic beverages tailored specifically for barbecue enthusiasts. In an era where alcohol-free options are gaining popularity, we set out to create a go-to resource that celebrates the joy of BBQ without compromising on taste or quality.

Our Story

The idea for NAD-BBQ emerged from the desire of our founders, Alex and Mia, to offer their friends and family an enjoyable BBQ experience, ensuring everyone could participate, regardless of their drinking preferences. After extensive research and tasting sessions, they realized there was a lack of accessible resources that provided diverse, delicious non-alcoholic drink pairings for various barbecue dishes. This realization sparked the creation of our website as a dedicated community hub for BBQ lovers who want to enjoy their favorite meals without alcohol.

Over the years, we’ve grown from a simple blog to a trusted online resource, offering not just recipes and reviews but also insightful articles on trends, tips, and the science behind non-alcoholic drinks. Our team has expanded, and we now pride ourselves on our diverse and talented contributors who share our passion for BBQ and responsible imbibing.

  • 2019: Collaborated with top BBQ chefs to feature their signature non-alcoholic recipes.
  • 2020: Expanded our reach globally and launched a weekly podcast, “BBQ & Hazy Talk,” covering all things related to non-alcoholic beverages.
