Manzanita and Madrone’s brewmasters have over 40 combined years of experience with craft and herbal beverages, which makes these small-batch sodas a cut above others with their refined technique and quality ingredients. For example, instead of using chemicals like sodium benzoate, they use quillaja bark extract (native to Chile) to emulsify their premium, CO2-extracted THC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ginger root has a great bite and kick (mellowed with a touch of tropical sweetness from pineapple), while the lemon-lime is super quenching like a Sprite. The flavorful and spiced natural cola is made using kola nut, which incidentally is the origin of the term “cola.” Since these sodas are made with respect to their ingredients’ medicinal properties, I recommend trying the ginger when you’re fighting a cold (you can even warm it up), and the grapefruit seed extract in the cola has antioxidant benefits.

These sodas would come in handy after work or a workout, when you want to unwind at home, or even when a hangover strikes.

They just rebranded and altered the dosage—each bottle now contains 10mg of THC. Manzanita and Madrone’s brewmasters have over 40 combined years of experience with craft and herbal beverages, which makes these small-batch sodas a cut above others with their refined technique and quality ingredients. For example, instead of using chemicals like sodium benzoate, they use quillaja bark extract (native to Chile) to emulsify their premium, CO2-extracted THC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ginger root has a great bite and kick (mellowed with a touch of tropical sweetness from pineapple), while the lemon-lime is super quenching like a Sprite. The flavorful and spiced natural cola is made using kola nut, which incidentally is the origin of the term “cola.” Since these sodas are made with respect to their ingredients’ medicinal properties, I recommend trying the ginger when you’re fighting a cold (you can even warm it up), and the grapefruit seed extract in the cola has antioxidant benefits.

The Citrus Original soda is sweetened with cane sugar (but still has 1/3 fewer calories than a can of Coca-Cola), while the Citrus Zero Sugar is sweetened with stevia and erythritol (a sugar alcohol substitute).

These sodas would come in handy after work or a workout, when you want to unwind at home, or even when a hangover strikes. The sparkling lemon tea (which is caffeine-free) made my four-hour road trip a mellow affair (it’s also built for an Arnold Palmer).

Even after I told him, he happily finished it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's no real reason you can't make great quality non-alcoholic beer,\" says Rob Fink, whose \u003ca href=\"https://www.bigdropbrew.com/\">Big Drop Brewing Co\u003c/a>. in Berkshire, England, only makes beers with an alcohol-by-volume (ABV) lower than 0.5 percent. Most non-alcoholic beers you'd find 20 years ago were made by boiling the ethanol out of normal brews. \"The problem is, when you heat beer, you change its flavor,\" Fink explains. \"You destroy a lot of its delicate aromas.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the newer, better alcohol-free beers are created through a process called \"arrested fermentation,\" Fink says. That's when you stop the brewing process before the yeast has turned the sugar into alcohol, usually by cooling things down to where the yeast falls dormant. But beers made this way were a bit too flat and sweet for Fink's taste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At Big Drop we use a combination of different techniques to reduce the alcohol content of our beers,\" Fink says. The process begins with less grain than traditional beer recipes, \"because less grain means there's less sugar for the yeast to convert into alcohol,\" he says. The company also uses what Fink calls a \"lazy\" yeast — \"a strain of yeast that's particularly slow at converting sugar into alcohol.\" And the beer is brewed at a higher temperature, at which point the lazy yeast begins to act even lazier. Finally, at the very end of the brewing process, a bit of lactose is added to give the beers extra flavor and body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are other ways to reduce beer's alcohol content that Fink isn't using. At Wellbeing, Stevens uses a process called \"vacuum distillation.\" This means he heats up alcoholic beer in a vacuum, very gently, at low temperatures. So \"the beer hardly even notices\" that the alcohol is evaporating, Stevens explains. He also uses high-tech equipment to capture any aromatics that try to escape during the heating process, and adds them back in at the end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other brewers, including Germany's \u003ca href=\"http://www.clausthaler.com/\">Clausthaler\u003c/a>, use reverse osmosis, which more or less filters the alcohol out of the beer. Different techniques work best for different styles of alcohol-free beer, Fink says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Seeking out the stout\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fink, who decided to cut back on alcohol three years ago after the birth of his first child, quit his job as a lawyer to start Big Drop in 2016, mostly because he was craving non-alcoholic versions of the craft stouts he loved. \"There are good European — German and Czech — alcohol-free options that I managed to find,\" he says. \"But none of them were stouts.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fink says that he didn't start the company because he identified a trend, \"but it's been sort of a happy coincidence that this has become one.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joining the growing group of near-beer pioneers is Heineken, which launched alcohol-free Heineken 0.0 this summer in Europe and Israel. My boyfriend and I were more than a bit skeptical when we picked some up from our local supermarket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not as bad as I thought it would be,\" is his verdict. \"It tastes like a mix of lager and grape candy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It definitely doesn't taste like a regular Heineken — but that's exactly what Heineken brewers are going for, says spokesperson David Pugh. \"Removing alcohol from regular 5 percent Heineken,\" he writes in an email, \"wouldn't deliver the best tasting non-alcoholic beer.\" Instead, the company uses a mix of two brews with different flavor profiles, removes the alcohol and then adds in a proprietary blend of flavors at the end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, neither Heineken nor Budweiser — which released a non-alcoholic brew called Prohibition in Canada last year and the in UK this Fall — has plans to to sell their alcohol-free options in the U.S. But as Reuters reported last year, AB InBev, the company that owns Budweiser, \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/us-beverages-alcohol/big-brewers-see-strong-potential-for-weak-beer-idUSKCN0ZT0FB\">predicts\u003c/a> that low-alcohol and alcohol-free beers will make up 20 percent of its sales by the end of 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That prediction is well founded, says \u003ca href=\"http://www.mintel.com/team/jforsyth/\">Jonny Forsyth\u003c/a>, at the global market research firm Mintel. \"Non-alcoholic beer has really risen in Europe, especially in Germany and Spain, to the point where it's become a mainstream option,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The German beer company \u003ca href=\"https://us.erdinger.de/beer.html\">Erdinger\u003c/a> was one of the pioneers of a movement to make better non-alcoholic beer in the early aughts, Forsyth says. Now, it's \"Alkoholfrei\" beer is ubiquitous in central Europe. And for the past few years, Erdinger has been heavily marketing its alcohol-free beer as a \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/03/05/285693136/beer-as-a-post-workout-recovery-drink-not-as-crazy-as-it-sounds\">sports recovery drink\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The ABV myth\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most German beers have traditionally had ABVs between 4 and 5 percent, Forsyth says — so the move to .5 percent ABV wasn't too hard to sell there. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.mintel.com/blog/drink-market-news/is-america-ready-for-lower-alcohol-beer\">craft beer scene in the U.S\u003c/a>., on the other hand, is ruled by super-strong Imperial Ales and tripels, Forsyth says. \"There seems to be this idea that high ABV means high quality.\" But he predicts that's going to change over the next few years, \"especially because every time I look at the younger generation, I see they're so much more health aware.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's what Stevens at Wellbeing is banking on. \"Of course my potential market is people like me — who are sober — and also pregnant women,\" he says. \"But there are also people who do drink. And maybe they're out at a bar and they've had a couple, but they want to keep hanging out and watch the game, and they're looking for something else to drink — that's where I can offer something.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Maanvi Singh is a freelance writer based in London.

At Wellbeing, Stevens uses a process called \"vacuum distillation.\" This means he heats up alcoholic beer in a vacuum, very gently, at low temperatures. So \"the beer hardly even notices\" that the alcohol is evaporating, Stevens explains. He also uses high-tech equipment to capture any aromatics that try to escape during the heating process, and adds them back in at the end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other brewers, including Germany's \u003ca href=\"http://www.clausthaler.com/\">Clausthaler\u003c/a>, use reverse osmosis, which more or less filters the alcohol out of the beer. Different techniques work best for different styles of alcohol-free beer, Fink says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Seeking out the stout\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fink, who decided to cut back on alcohol three years ago after the birth of his first child, quit his job as a lawyer to start Big Drop in 2016, mostly because he was craving non-alcoholic versions of the craft stouts he loved. \"There are good European — German and Czech — alcohol-free options that I managed to find,\" he says. \"But none of them were stouts.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fink says that he didn't start the company because he identified a trend, \"but it's been sort of a happy coincidence that this has become one.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joining the growing group of near-beer pioneers is Heineken, which launched alcohol-free Heineken 0.0 this summer in Europe and Israel. My boyfriend and I were more than a bit skeptical when we picked some up from our local supermarket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not as bad as I thought it would be,\" is his verdict. \"It tastes like a mix of lager and grape candy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It definitely doesn't taste like a regular Heineken — but that's exactly what Heineken brewers are going for, says spokesperson David Pugh. \"Removing alcohol from regular 5 percent Heineken,\" he writes in an email, \"wouldn't deliver the best tasting non-alcoholic beer.\" Instead, the company uses a mix of two brews with different flavor profiles, removes the alcohol and then adds in a proprietary blend of flavors at the end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, neither Heineken nor Budweiser — which released a non-alcoholic brew called Prohibition in Canada last year and the in UK this Fall — has plans to to sell their alcohol-free options in the U.S. But as Reuters reported last year, AB InBev, the company that owns Budweiser, \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/us-beverages-alcohol/big-brewers-see-strong-potential-for-weak-beer-idUSKCN0ZT0FB\">predicts\u003c/a> that low-alcohol and alcohol-free beers will make up 20 percent of its sales by the end of 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That prediction is well founded, says \u003ca href=\"http://www.mintel.com/team/jforsyth/\">Jonny Forsyth\u003c/a>, at the global market research firm Mintel. \"Non-alcoholic beer has really risen in Europe, especially in Germany and Spain, to the point where it's become a mainstream option,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The German beer company \u003ca href=\"https://us.erdinger.de/beer.html\">Erdinger\u003c/a> was one of the pioneers of a movement to make better non-alcoholic beer in the early aughts, Forsyth says. Now, it's \"Alkoholfrei\" beer is ubiquitous in central Europe. And for the past few years, Erdinger has been heavily marketing its alcohol-free beer as a \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/03/05/285693136/beer-as-a-post-workout-recovery-drink-not-as-crazy-as-it-sounds\">sports recovery drink\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The ABV myth\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most German beers have traditionally had ABVs between 4 and 5 percent, Forsyth says — so the move to .5 percent ABV wasn't too hard to sell there. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.mintel.com/blog/drink-market-news/is-america-ready-for-lower-alcohol-beer\">craft beer scene in the U.S\u003c/a>., on the other hand, is ruled by super-strong Imperial Ales and tripels, Forsyth says. \"There seems to be this idea that high ABV means high quality.\" But he predicts that's going to change over the next few years, \"especially because every time I look at the younger generation, I see they're so much more health aware.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's what Stevens at Wellbeing is banking on. \"Of course my potential market is people like me — who are sober — and also pregnant women,\" he says. \"But there are also people who do drink. And maybe they're out at a bar and they've had a couple, but they want to keep hanging out and watch the game, and they're looking for something else to drink — that's where I can offer something.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Maanvi Singh is a freelance writer based in London.

We also draw down our small stores of carbohydrates and proteins as we put our muscles to work. By the end of the workout, our body needs to get all those things back to recover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is where sports drinks come in. They're full of carbs, sodium and all sorts of nutrients to keep our bodies hydrated and energized during and after exercise. And beer may be able to do that, too — if formulated the right way, says \u003ca href=\"http://www.griffith.edu.au/health/school-public-health/staff/dr-ben-desbrow\">Ben Desbrow\u003c/a>, a sports nutritionist at Griffith University in Australia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beer itself contains a small amount of carbohydrates and electrolytes, he says. It's not enough to do your body any good after exercise, but researchers like Desbrow have been experimenting with ways to reformulate beer so that it'll have the properties of a sports drink without the dehydrating effects of alcohol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23690556\">study\u003c/a> published last December in the\u003cem> \u003c/em>\u003cem>International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism\u003c/em>, he and his colleagues found that beer's dehydrating effect can be weakened by changing its electrolyte content — a good first step into turning ale into a sports beverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By lowering the level of alcohol by volume to 2.3 percent and adding salt, they found that the manipulated beer actually hydrated their sample of athletes better than traditional ale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus, he adds, since beer is plant based – the key ingredients, aside from water, are barley, hops, and yeast – it contains a whole range of naturally occurring nutrients that manufactured sports drinks don't have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A properly formulated beer beverage is likely to do you no more harm than you are likely to get from a sports drink,\" Desbrow says. \"In fact, it probably is likely to do you more good, because it's got a lot of these sort of natural compounds, like polyphenols, that are actually good for your health.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He's talking about compounds found in plants that are believed to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects. A 2011 \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21659904\">study\u003c/a> in Germany suggested that polyphenols in beer may be especially useful for those who go through prolonged strenuous exercise, which tends to lower the body's immune function.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the study, those who were given nonalcoholic beer every day for three weeks before and two weeks after a marathon reported fewer incidences of upper respiratory tract infections and were up to three times less susceptible to the common cold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So that's the good news. The caveat is that for beer to be a good sports drink, you'll have to lose most of the alcohol. And the reasons go beyond just dehydration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For one, excessive amounts of alcohol can impair protein synthesis, the process by which your muscles repair themselves after exercise, according to a \u003ca href=\"http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0088384\">study\u003c/a> published last month in \u003cem>PLoS One.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It impairs some of what we call the protein signaling molecules in the body.

So ultimately, that whole muscle protein synthesis is slowed down.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His study found that when athletes binged on alcohol after an intensive strength-training workout, their protein synthesis decreased by nearly 40 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, the athletes in Hawley's study did \u003cem>a lot\u003c/em> of drinking: They consumed roughly eight shots of vodka mixed with orange juice over a three-hour period. Hawley says it's not clear how more moderate drinking affects the recovery process, but \"my guess is that any alcohol impedes it a little bit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how will a low-alcohol beer like Vampt's Lean Machine ale fare in the market? Hawley notes that consumers haven't always embraced drinks that mimic alcoholic favorites without the buzz. In the 1970s, he says, a whiskey-like, non-alcoholic beverage called \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylH43Tcaj60\">Claytons\u003c/a> hit the shelves in New Zealand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It lasted on the market three years,\" Hawley says. \"So there's your answer to that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Vampt's Toews says he's not too worried.

Floral, Citrusy, not bitter or hoppy-tasting like a traditional IPA. It's lighter-bodied than I'd expected and absolutely delicious. Recommended pairing: Fuggazzetta empanada, with aged cheddar cheese, organic onions, and oregano.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2) Morpho Herbal Ale. \"This is the most unique thing we do,\" explains Woods of the collaboration beer he created with the brewmeister of \u003ca href=\"http://millvalleybeerworks.com/\">Mill Valley Beerworks\u003c/a>. \"In beer, the sweetness of malt is usually balanced by the bitterness of hops, but in this case we decided to use bay leaves and mate for the bitter component,\" says Woods. \"After the first batch, it was still lacking in something, so we added hibiscus to give it a little tartness, with the ascorbic acid--Vitamin C naturally found in hibiscus flowers.\" The hibiscus also gives the brew a pretty, light ruby color. The essence of the bay leaves is one of the dominant flavors, and this beer would be great for the adventurous drinker. Luckily, the \"beertenders\" will pour a small flight gratis for any customer unsure of what they'd like to order. Recommended pairing: Pollo empanada, with Fulton Valley chicken, chicken chorizo, raisins, and olives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3) My unabashed favorite of the three beers Cervecería de MateVeza has on tap was the Black Lager.

Floral, Citrusy, not bitter or hoppy-tasting like a traditional IPA. It's lighter-bodied than I'd expected and absolutely delicious. Recommended pairing: Fuggazzetta empanada, with aged cheddar cheese, organic onions, and oregano.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2) Morpho Herbal Ale. \"This is the most unique thing we do,\" explains Woods of the collaboration beer he created with the brewmeister of \u003ca href=\"http://millvalleybeerworks.com/\">Mill Valley Beerworks\u003c/a>. \"In beer, the sweetness of malt is usually balanced by the bitterness of hops, but in this case we decided to use bay leaves and mate for the bitter component,\" says Woods. \"After the first batch, it was still lacking in something, so we added hibiscus to give it a little tartness, with the ascorbic acid--Vitamin C naturally found in hibiscus flowers.\" The hibiscus also gives the brew a pretty, light ruby color. The essence of the bay leaves is one of the dominant flavors, and this beer would be great for the adventurous drinker. Luckily, the \"beertenders\" will pour a small flight gratis for any customer unsure of what they'd like to order. Recommended pairing: Pollo empanada, with Fulton Valley chicken, chicken chorizo, raisins, and olives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3) My unabashed favorite of the three beers Cervecería de MateVeza has on tap was the Black Lager. It's a dark, black beer, with ingredients similar to a porter or a stout, but it's light bodied because it's brewed with yeast normally reserved for lagers, making the taste crisp and easily drinkable, and belying the rich, dark color of the beer and its foam. Recommended pairing: Champiñones empanada, which contains fresh, seasonal, local, organic mushrooms by \u003ca href=\"http://www.farwestfungi.com/\">Far West Fungi\u003c/a>, shallots, Parmesan cheese, and crème fraîche.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/beerswithbottles560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/beerswithbottles560.jpg\" alt=\"bottled mateveza\" title=\"bottled mateveza\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43241\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>The draught beers also come in bottles.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_43244\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/4jimmate300.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/4jimmate300.jpg\" alt=\"Jim Mate\" title=\"Jim Mate\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" class=\"size-full wp-image-43244\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u003cem>Woods enjoying a yerba mate.\u003c/em>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The loose-leaf \"tea,\" which is actually the leaves of a tree in the holly family, goes into the mixture during the mash, which is then gently warmed to about 150 degrees Fahrenheit. \"It's like steeping the tea by mashing and warming the grain,\" explains Coelho. \"Then, you're basically boiling this [naturally] sugary tea water, which is used as a bittering agent before fermentation.\" Unlike many traditional beermaking processes, the hops gets added in at the end of the fermentation cycle, purely for aromatics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to a changing selection of the MateVeza beers that are brewed at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mendobrew.com/\">Mendocino Brewing Company\u003c/a> on tap, there is a carefully curated selection of bottled beers from Europe and the US, which ranges from the hard-to-find like \"\u003ca href=\"http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1141/15760\">Rigor Mortis\u003c/a>\" to more \"sessionable\" beers, which is brewmaster speak for beers with lighter body and less alcohol that can be drunk with...less moderation.

A long hug. Let me backtrack. I’m from Healdsburg, a fifth-generation rarity who moved to San Francisco almost 10 years ago and only travels back home sporadically. Every time I do, though, I find that another friend, or pair of friends, or group of friends, has opened up or is planning on opening up a cool new spot in my hometown. Bergamot Alley is one of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The brainchild of Kevin Wardell, formerly a sommelier at \u003ca href=\"http://www.flourandwater.com/\">flour + water\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.a16sf.com/\">A16\u003c/a>, and his partner Sarah Johnson, Bergamot Alley looks like it was born of a machine shop and an artistic city-slicker. The lofty space on Healdsburg Avenue was formerly a jumbled antiques mall filled with woodstoves and tractor parts, and the original brick walls have been carefully exposed. The 17-foot ceilings are finished in their original tin from 1896. Because the building is one of Healdsburg’s oldest, Wardell says, it has a certain landmark status that inspired the décor. In the walls: a wooden brick here, a tin patch there, small iron bars jutting out at random angles. The “wallscape” somehow works together, with a collection of air gardens climbing the bricks and vending-machine bouncing balls shoved onto the ends of the iron bars to turn them into functional coat and purse racks. A plaster wall that divides Bergamot Alley from its next-door-neighbor sports decals by Telluride, CO-based artist Nathan Frerichs, the whimsical squid and octopus looking as at home here in the Dry Creek Valley as they would on a T-shirt sold on Haight Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/owners560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/owners560.jpg\" alt=\"owners: Sarah Johnson and Kevin Wardell.

A long hug. Let me backtrack. I’m from Healdsburg, a fifth-generation rarity who moved to San Francisco almost 10 years ago and only travels back home sporadically. Every time I do, though, I find that another friend, or pair of friends, or group of friends, has opened up or is planning on opening up a cool new spot in my hometown. Bergamot Alley is one of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The brainchild of Kevin Wardell, formerly a sommelier at \u003ca href=\"http://www.flourandwater.com/\">flour + water\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.a16sf.com/\">A16\u003c/a>, and his partner Sarah Johnson, Bergamot Alley looks like it was born of a machine shop and an artistic city-slicker. The lofty space on Healdsburg Avenue was formerly a jumbled antiques mall filled with woodstoves and tractor parts, and the original brick walls have been carefully exposed. The 17-foot ceilings are finished in their original tin from 1896. Because the building is one of Healdsburg’s oldest, Wardell says, it has a certain landmark status that inspired the décor. In the walls: a wooden brick here, a tin patch there, small iron bars jutting out at random angles. The “wallscape” somehow works together, with a collection of air gardens climbing the bricks and vending-machine bouncing balls shoved onto the ends of the iron bars to turn them into functional coat and purse racks. A plaster wall that divides Bergamot Alley from its next-door-neighbor sports decals by Telluride, CO-based artist Nathan Frerichs, the whimsical squid and octopus looking as at home here in the Dry Creek Valley as they would on a T-shirt sold on Haight Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/owners560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/owners560.jpg\" alt=\"owners: Sarah Johnson and Kevin Wardell.
