Zero Alcohol Beer

[Dave Herbal]

Best for me is erdinger 0 as it’s an isotonic drink. Very good for you and tastes great.

To socialise obviously?

I don’t want to socialise with a load of shouty piss heads unless I’m one of them.

I think he meant they are the same price as alcohol drinks which have a lot of duty on them. So they should be cheaper without the duty.

Non alcoholic cider should be easy for a brewery to create. It will just be a bottle of Applecham you used to get of Sykes pop van.

I was supping San Miguel at £2.20 a bottle when out on the lash at the weekend. And a 4 pack is less than 4 quid in supermarket. Nowt expensive about that IMO.

Congrats mate! Not long to go, then.

Quite fancy trying the Cloudwater AF.

It's very good, the draft I had in the Keel Tavern is probably the best AF I've had, and I've tried lots.

0% beer is like going down on your own sister.

It tastes the same, but it's just wrong.

Wrong? So you are admitting you drink 'proper' beer solely to get pissed? If you really think the 0% tastes the same, why would you NOT drink it?

I miss the sense of resistance you get with alcohol, non alcoholic drinks sort of go down too easy (oo er missus). They taste decent in as of themselves and are a nice alternative to pop or other soft stuff but they don't taste like beer or wine substitutes imo.

It's missing that malty density you get with Guiness proper but it's a nice drink still

I tell ya what, they don't half make ya piss mind.

Non-alcoholic beers can be more expensive to produce than beer.

Cheers! Due in 4 weeks so it's sneaking up very quickly...

Cloudwater have AF on as a permanent line now in their taproom.

The reality is I drink beer for the alcohol.

I like the taste, but I don’t drink 8 pints of tea a day.

If it wasn’t for the alcoholic content there are probably 4 or 5 things I would drink just for the taste before beer

Where are you getting the tuna ipa from?

 

[MonkeyLove]

There are some cracking 1.5 ish % beers about by the way but for me it’s still an untapped market.

I had one at QPR away years ago.

Not no alcohol but could have a couple without any concerns on driving (Be less then a pint)

Telt ya, @Rick O Shea

 

[Typhoonftm]

There’s a load now. I can easily go out and not have a drink. Brewdog, peroni, ghost ship, Guinness, then there’s non-alcho ciders like koppaberg which are decent but go down like pop.

The Brewdog one is lovely.

No duty though.

I didn't say all alcoholic drinks are expensive. I tried to explain what the other lad meant, that's all.
The prices you've quoted there for pub bottles isn't typical though. Were you in spoons?

 

[dundeemackem]

Adnams Ghost Ship 0.5% is my standard driving beer. Not sure the availability nationally but common in East Anglia.

Same here. Best low alcohol out there as long as you like the citra. Went to Adnams last year, lovely brewery.

Also is a quid in Sainsbury’s at the moment.

Dont know if you're on the wind up?

When I have been having issues with my mental health and I know alcohol is only going to make things worse I have went on 0% , still get the social aspect so I don't feel like i am locking myself away

asahib 0.0 is very nice and would recommend out the ones I've had

 

[dangermows]

Don't see how its a wind up. You've said zero tastes the same as real beer. And you drink real beer. So you're basically you wouldn't drink zero as it won't get you pissed.

Cloudwater have AF on as a permanent line now in their taproom.

Had a couple in the Free Trade recently. Very nice.

i've posted a joke...or at least I thought I had

My mate bought me a pint of nanny state when it was his round “for a laugh”. I was fuming he’d wasted the price of a pint for nothing.

Sounds more like they were probably sick of your behaviour when you're drunk so they got you that instead
