About Closer by the Mile
Athletic Brewing presents “Closer by the Mile,” an inspiring non-alcoholic IPA crafted in collaboration with the Pan-Mass Challenge. This ambitious brew is a celebration of perseverance and dedication, embodying a symphony of bright, bold flavors with zesty fruit notes, all culminating in a crisp and clean finish. It stands as a refreshing homage to the journey ahead, making every sip a toast to progress and hope.
“Closer by the Mile” is not just a beer; it’s a commitment to a cause. Athletic Brewing pledges to donate 100% of the profits from this beer to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, directly supporting cancer research and treatment efforts. This gesture marks the brewery’s fourth consecutive year of partnership with the Pan-Mass Challenge, underlining a sustained commitment to making a difference.
Delving into the sensory experience, this medium-bodied IPA showcases a rich tapestry of aromas and flavors. The beer opens with a vibrant burst of citrus and stone fruit, where notes of orange, grapefruit, apricot, and peach lead the charge. This fruity forefront is closely followed by subtle undertones of lemongrass and pine, creating a complex bouquet that’s both slightly sweet and moderately bitter, yet impressively smooth on the palate.
The brew’s composition is a testament to quality and care, featuring water, malted barley, wheat, hops, and yeast. Nutritional information reveals a considerate profile for the health-conscious, with 70 calories, 16 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of protein, and zero fat per serving.
Athletic Brewing invites enthusiasts to join in this meaningful endeavor. By enjoying “Closer by the Mile,” consumers not only savor an exceptional non-alcoholic IPA but also contribute to a noble cause, pushing the boundaries of progress in cancer research and treatment. Grab a 6-pack (or two) today, and be part of a community that believes in the power of giving back, one sip at a time.
