Untitled Art has seemingly mastered the art of making beer, so the next challenge, naturally, was to develop a line of nonalcoholic options. These three N/A brews received the stamp of approval from New Fashioned Sobriety, a local alcohol-free community with very good taste. Untitled ships to all 50 states and its beer is available at local taprooms. drinkuntitled.comCourtesy of Nicole PeasleeUntitled Art has seemingly mastered the art of making beer, so the next challenge, naturally, was to develop a line of nonalcoholic options.

Veteran-owned Primal ‘Cue offers the best of both worlds: Dirt Rub to season your barbecue at home, or catering and pop-up events if you want the pros to handle it. Primary owner and veteran Andrew Bajakian, along with former Madison College professor-turned-business partner Brandon Bay, have big plans. There’s a packaged barbecue sauce on the way and they’d love to open a brick-and-mortar restaurant in Sun Prairie in the future. But just like they cook their meats, they’re going low and slow for now. primalcue.comCourtesy of Andre BajakianVeteran-owned Primal ‘Cue offers the best of both worlds: Dirt Rub to season your barbecue at home, or catering and pop-up events if you want the pros to handle it.

Coffee knows no seasonality, which is why we’re not surprised it has been transformed into a summer thirst quencher. Try an espresso lemonade at a new east-side shop, Broken Board Coffee, located inside Focus Boardshop. This menu item reminds us of a drink called mazagran, which has origins in Algeria. The buzzed-about drink is having a moment in the U.S., and it’s giving us 2020 dalgona coffee trend vibes. brokenboardcoffee.comCourtesy of Andrea BehlingCoffee knows no seasonality, which is why we’re not surprised it has been transformed into a summer thirst quencher.
