Ostrichized Brewing OSTRI(CHI)ZED - A NEW KIND OF BREW
- 0.0% NO SHADE

01/28/2026

Possibly the lowest-key new flavor announcement ever, so obviously it needed a SpongeBob SquarePants ride video at Nickelodeon Universe to count as a real “drop.”

Took a little mental health breather there with everything going on in MN right now.

Highly recommend screaming on some rides. It pairs surprisingly well with ongoing activism.

How are you all taking care of your heart these days?

Oh and the new brews are live online. Link in bio.

As big changes are underway, I wanted to share the original hero video of Ostrichized. I hope it helps folks reconnect with who we are and where we started.

Ostrichized began when I had a breakthrough in my own recovery—when I discovered non-alcoholic beverages and realized how life-changing they could be. I wanted to share that possibility, that joy, and that sense of belonging with the community.

And as the holidays approach—a season that can be filled with love and family—they can also be the hardest time of year for many in recovery. This is your reminder to hang in there. It does get better. I hope you find your own breakthrough, just like I did—the one that led me to create Ostrichized. You’re not alone. Keep going.

May this video remind you—wherever you are—of your values, your “why,” and the people you feel called to serve.

Grateful for what’s ahead. More videos dropping soon.

Just got back from two weeks in Chicago at the Siebel Institute of Technology & World Brewing Academy… and full transparency: brew school definitely schooled me! 😅 I was far from valedictorian, but I walked out knowing so much more than when I walked in. Truly an incredible experience. THANK YOU Beer Dabbler for providing the funding for this opportunity.

BIGGEST UPDATE:
Ostrichized will contain a trace amount of alcohol moving forward.

To be clear, this does not take away from our mission to serve the recovery community — it actually broadens it and expands what recovery can look like. Even slight fermentation affects body, mouthfeel, and flavor. Yeast produces thousands of flavor-active compounds, and allowing a small amount to develop gives us a more genuine, elevated brew.

This choice is about staying in the game, growing, and reaching more people — not stepping away from the mission we’re built on. ❤️

More updates coming soon, including a brand-new brew. Benchmarking reformulations this week! 🍻✨

One of my ride-or-die BFFs, Emanuel Roberts, in the recovery space 💙 He showed up for me at trivia at The Local after already supporting others at a recovery documentary at West End. That’s what I love about Emanuel — he shows up.

So much of this community is about that simple, powerful act: showing up. So… who can you show up for today?

And honestly, what’s more local than being featured at The Local at West End? 😄

Met up with my copacker Will today from . We talked next steps, my big vision as a recovery-driven enterprise, future growth — all the big stuff.

But truth is, I’ve been feeling the burn lately. The long days. The weight of building something real. The pressure that doesn’t let up.

There’s been a quote looping in the background of my mind these past few weeks… and then there it was — hanging on TBP’s wall:

“It is not the critic who counts…”
— Theodore Roosevelt

Felt like a cosmic slap on the back. A reminder that the real work happens in the arena — where it’s messy, uncertain, and all on the line.

That’s where I am.
An ostrich in the arena.
