MILWAUKEE — MobCraft Beer is kicking off the new year with a unique twist — a Prohibition-era party celebrating nonalcoholic beverages during Dry January.
I had the chance to preview this exciting event live this morning on TMJ4 News Today, and the N/A Fest promises something for everyone when it takes place Saturday, Jan. 18.

The free sampling session will allow attendees to try nonalcoholic beverages from MobCraft and many other local businesses, showcasing the diversity of the NA beverage world.
Festivalgoers can check out the Bootlegger's Lounge, a pop-up speakeasy featuring a special menu of both cocktails and mocktails. The Dessert Cart by Brazen Standard Hospitality will serve beer and NA beer floats for purchase.
Live music from three Milwaukee bands and a free swing dancing lesson will keep the party going all day.
