As you know, athletes not only train their bodies, but they also take care of their diet. The new trend is non-alcoholic beers in the sports world, promoted by consumers focused on fitness and well-being. Athletes don’t want to spoil their training with empty calories from beer or a hangover the next day.
In this article we tell you what isotonic non-alcoholic beers are, and we explain two sports-focused brands you can find in our non-alcoholic drinks store: Athletic Brewing and Thrive.
What are isotonic non-alcoholic beers?
Isotonic non-alcoholic beers are characterized by having less than 1% alcohol content and including carbohydrates and minerals that facilitate recovery and rehydration. Traditional beers can exacerbate the effects of dehydration and impede muscle recovery. On the contrary, non-alcoholic versions contain carbohydrates (perfect for replenishing glycogen reserves) and polyphenols, to reduce inflammation.
Buy non-alcoholic beers for athletes
At The Blue Dolphin Store, we are committed to sports and leading a healthy life. This is why we bring the best alcohol-free beers for athletes. These are two of the most popular brands.
Athletic Brewing
The most popular alcohol-free craft beer brand in the United States. Its non-alcoholic IPA beer is one of the most consumed in the country. The brand was born in 2017 by Bill Shufelt to create a delicious non-alcoholic beer that allows you to maintain an active life without negative effects on the body. Their beers are perfect for athletes because they help them recover after sports.
We have 3 references, Athletic Brewing Run Wild IPA , a larger Upside Dawn and the alcohol-free stout All Out.
Thrive
Thrive was born in Belgium to create the first non-alcoholic beer that is suitable for athletes. After participating in an Ironman and realizing that they were missing a non-alcoholic beer with great flavor and including the necessary ingredients for post-workout recovery, the founders had the idea.
Sports nutritionists approve Thrive. Thrive Peak beer contains proteins for muscle recovery. Thrive Play contains 10 vitamins for muscle maintenance, energy reserves and reducing tiredness and fatigue.
Benefits of non-alcoholic recovery beers
The benefits of drinking recovery alcohol-free beers are:
- They help rehydration and sports recovery as they allow recovering the lost components through sweat and physical effort.
- They contain fewer calories and carbohydrates than a traditional beer. It is a good option for those looking to maintain a balanced diet.
- They contain less than 1% alcohol so you can enjoy the flavor of beer without the effects of alcohol.
- They can be enjoyed at any time, whether accompanying a light meal, as a refreshment after exercising or simply as a refreshing alternative when you are thirsty.
