I used to drink a lot of beer. Nowadays, much less so. We hosted a party recently, and a neighbor and friend of mine was attending, and I knew he has about three years of sobriety. I knew he wouldn't mind if people around him were drinking, and some did, but I chose not to be one of them.

I picked up some Heineken 0.0 which I honestly had never seen before, and I gotta say, it isn't bad. I did a little reading online, and it turns out that these low- and no-alcohol brews are becoming a "thing," especially in Europe. Who knew?

So, do you N/A? What's your favorite non-alcohol brew?

25 years ago I was drinking European non alcohol beer and it was very good then. It's now so expensive here that it's regular beer price so I no longer buy it.

In reply to 1988RedT2 :

In Sweden beer has very low alcohol content at the supermarkets, below 3.5% and its very expensive. Many people travel south to Germany by car and bring beer from there due to the lower prices.

I took these pictures. They are actually not bad at all.

That is neither "alcohol free" nor "free alcohol." Did you even read the question?

I was at the international market today and they have Guinness alcohol free malt beverage. I didn't buy any but I'm curious what it tastes like.

Saw the Heineken stuff at Walmart. Almost bought some, as my usual is Heineken Light.

Alcohol free malt beverages are interesting. I actually prefer them when they don't attempt to be beer. Like, I'm fine with boneless wings, just don't call em wings. They're tenders or nuggest. On that same note, beer=booze. Not booze? Not beer.

As for heineken- I used to be big into it, and then I sort of lost my taste for it. Im mildly curious, at best.
