Ep. 39: Dry Week Special! All The Bitter NA Bitters with Co-Founder Ian Blessing

As a Dry Week special, we've invited Ian Blessing, co-founder of All The Bitter non-alcoholic bitters to talk to us about his products and the new non-alcoholic bottle shop they opened a few months ago.

Tune in to hear all about the All The Bitter NA bitters and other great N/A spirits alternatives that we love to use, not only during Dry Week, but *even when alcohol is an option*. You'll also learn about the healthful ingredients in All The Bitter and their pledge of "1% for the planet" -- 1% of all sales are donated toward environmental causes.

The Whiskey Lodge Dry Week starts tomorrow, Friday April 4th, 2025! Dates are flexible but we encourage 7 continuous dry days to check your habits throughout the week and get ahead of any problematic associations. This is part of our whole community's commitment to #drinkresponsibly
