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.

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

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.

Used to drink St Pauli girl years ago.  

Came across this article.

The first one on the list has a dark Hefe that I used to love - but that had alcohol. smiley
