Third Annual Sans Bar Academy Awards

A night of glitz and celebration in Austin honoring the top names in non-alcoholic drinks across 10 high-stakes award categories.

The Third Annual Sans Bar Academy Awards makes its debut in the city where it all began—Austin, Texas—for a night the entire non-alcoholic industry will be talking about for years to come. With 10 high-stakes categories recognizing excellence in innovation, impact, and craftsmanship, this black-tie evening promises to be a milestone moment for the movement.

Guiding us through the celebration are this year’s hosts: Laniah Harris, founder of the rising NA brand Mixd, and Chris Rzigalinski, a respected Austin-based educator, writer, and cultural historian. Together, they’ll bring heart, humor, and insight to an event that honors the past while shaping the future.
