Related: I got given a packet of this yesterday. Japanese fake beer powder sweet drink for children.

Have you tried it yet? Looks interesting.

I drank some Sheppy’s 0.5% cider, bottled from Tesco at £1.30 each. Surprisingly good, albeit I haven’t checked out calories/sugar content.

We like this stuff so much we get a regular order in. It's really nice cold, and has a unique and pleasant taste. They seem like a good company too - I got a crate sent to my brother and it didn't turn up so they sent another and threw in a load of extra bottles free.

maisel's weisse or erdinger. Germans do alcohol 'free' very well, as many people there drink them after work etc.

Old quote i know, but I quite like the Erdinger one. I keep going back to Brooklyn Special Effects though, especially when its hot like now.

It definitely helps reduce my alcohol consumption, always keeping alcohol free in stock at home.

I still feel like crap in the mornings if I’ve had a 0% beer. What the hell is giving me the fuzzy head feeling, is it the sugar comedown?

You may have an intolerance/sensitivity to one or more of the ingredients, ie wheat, barley etc, which in turn triggers an autoimmune response that can make you feel like dogst.

The blue IPA from LIDL, is lovely

Has anyone tried Lucky Saint? I've got a voucher sat on my desk for £10 off my first order but haven't got round to using it yet...

My journey through AF beer/cider has lead me to Free Damm (was very little choice in Waitrose earlier). Had a tin of it and agree it’s really not bad, the flavour is fairly rounded and I found it very light and easy to drink.

THe best one for me is Aldi's Rheinbacher 0%.-

Calories: 76 (per 330ml bottle)
Carbohydrates: 17g (per 330ml bottle)
Sugar: 5.8g (per 330ml bottle)

Not too bad overall I don't think and good for a Sunday when I have to drive home.

Aldi are good, and reasonable price. I prefer the 500ml st etienne 0% bottles

Most Lager tastes like p**s anyway, I used to enjoy a good witbier, Hoegaarden used to be good but now seems to have gone the way of all things, Tiger beer and Cobra were a favourite, never go near them now, I'm looking forward to a pint of Pedigree when I'm in the UK and some proper job cider. Alchohol free beer... Nah!

Not I, but my uncle rates it highly.

I’m very impressed with this Guinness Zero. Very pleasant indeed and remarkably similar to the normal version. I’ll be buying a lot more of this.

I tried it recently and it was the best I've tried. Lacked a little bitterness but easily drinkable.

Sainsbury’s low alcohol lager used to be ‘proper’ Clausthaler, brewed in Frankfurt by Binding, whereas UK ‘Clausthaler’ was brewed in the UK and was awful.

Not sure if this is still the case.

Yes I have, it's really nice it's like an IPA and it's not strictly 0-achohol (0.5%) it's v hard to tell the difference apart from the typical 'bite' from a normal strength beer. The flavour is all there without a doubt.

[AJB88]

Guinness 0% isn't bad.

I find a lot of the larger have a strange after taste. I've tried the flavoured cider as well but feel bloated after 3 of them.

Hineken Zero closely followed by Peroni Libera is my alcohol free beer of choice.

Doom bar zero isn’t bad for if you are having curry & fancy an IPA sort of flavour to go with it.

Came in here to check whether anybody had tried the Guiness stuff, heard from somebody that does a beer blog that it is seriously good stuff.
Will give it a go if I don't fancy feeling squiffy..
