ABOUT THE EPISODE
Rosalie Kennedy, Senior Director of Marketing at Athletic Brewing, discusses the explosive rise of non-alcoholic beer and how Athletic Brewing became one of the defining brands behind the category’s growth. Rosalie explains how the company repositioned non-alcoholic beer around
taste, wellness, and social connection, while competing against both traditional beer brands and emerging functional beverages. The conversation also explores changing consumer behavior, younger drinking audiences, retail strategy, and the future of beer culture.
