Zero alcohol beers

[RoxyMuzak]

Are there any that don't taste like horse wee? Every week night and Sunday we share a 500 ml bottle of beer before our tea. An apéro if you like. Because one of us has pre-hypertension, we thought we'd try one or two alcohol-free days each week. Tried Doom Bar Zero and Days Alcohol Free Pale Ale. Both: Yuk. They taste like beer that has been boiled until it has a flavour like malty pop. Which is probably exactly what it is. The Doom Bar reminded me a bit of Dandelion and Burdock gone wrong. Are they all like that? I think we should probably try something else than zero-beer, but what?

Erdinger and Brewdog are my favourites, esp Brewdog Elvis Juice AF. Also Brewdogs are only 20 calories per can, yay!

I'm going to try the Elvis Juice - that looks right up my street. Love a citrus IPA.

The Erdinger alkolfrie one is ok.
butchered the spelling there but you get the gist

Thornbridge Zero Five is really good, used to be called Big Easy. Also another vote for Ghost Ship!

Do you have a decent beer shop near you? One that sells a range from smaller breweries? If so, try there.
We have one near us which has a decent range of alcohol free beers (not a Becks Blue or Heineken 0% in sight).
There's a couple of decent breweries who make non alcoholic beers which I like Brullo/Brulo and Nirvana who do a lovely stout which isn't too heavy but not really ideal on a hot day.

I like Heineken Zero and Brewdog Lost AF. Tried Brew Toon Divernaut AF IPA at the weekend and quite liked it.

I have recently tested every one I could get my hands on and was pleasantly surprised by some. I now love them. My top 3:

San Miguel
Alhambra
Corona

Peroni is also good but hard to get around here.

Heineken tastes too citrusy for me.

Birra Moretti is the only low/free alcohol beer I've tasted that is identical to the alcohol version. Some others are OK but they do taste a little different, some are horrible!

Coming on to say exactly this. I buy the mixed packs, and Nanny State and Punk AF are my favourites.

Agree with Lucky Saint. I also like Bitburger & the Brew Dog ones.

We love AF Heineken, especially in a shandy in this hot weather and ice cold
Kopparberg Alcohol Free Pear Cider 500Ml. Tastes just like the real thing IMO.

Free dam the non alcoholic version of estrella damming is my favourite. I like becks blue and corona zero. All others are too gassy for me

Free dam (which is also annoyingly gluten free so gf dh nicks it) and Heineken 0 are the best lagers I've tried.

I like Lucky Saint and Free Damm

non lagers I quite like Ghost Ship

For bog-standard lager - Beck’s Blue, Morretti, Peroni all great.

i really love Leffe Blonde Belgian beer, and thought because there is a high-ish alcohol content, that the low version would not translate. It is slightly sweeter, but other than that, is pretty close, still with that wonderful maltiness. Is 0.0%. Difficult to find though.

Second PP’s recommendation of Drop Bear - they only make alcohol-free beers, and they are incredibly flavoursome, with real bite. I would not know the absence of alcohol unless told.

Guinness 0%, Heineken 0% and Ghost Ship!

Becks Blue lager is nice but in terms of Ale we really like Erdinger 0%
