Heineken Zero only in bottles and Party Cans

B-D-P--

Pet peeve of mine,
If i'm out on a night for pints, I'll swallow 10 pints, And I'll love them.

Sometimes now more recently, Especially for work, I'll drive home.

Heineken Zero is great, But why the fluck is it only in bottles, AND worse, they are smaller than a corona bottle, I think it was 270ml or something.

Do we ever see that Zero will be on tap? Get a pint of it?

Could ya top it up in a pint glass with 7-up just to get a pint? Prob taste like pi$$water

Of course its smaller corona is 355ml. The norm is 330.

I prefer coke myself. Non alcoholic beer tastes like gack.

Keep drinking coke and say good bye to your teeth.

Quite a few non-alcoholic beers out there but very few in pubs mainly focused in the offie and even less on tap - guess it doesn't make financial sense.
By Law every pub should be forced to have one non alcoholic beer on draft

What really annoyed me, I walked through a Shop/pub
The traditional places where shop in front, and then a pub in the back, There was a cooler for beer in the front, Heineken Zero 1.50.
In the Pub, 2 steps further its +€4

When you buy from a shop or off licence you take the drink away and you provide the venue for consumption.
When you buy in a pub they provide the venue and that is what you are paying extra for.

I'e tried 5 or 6 different non-alcoholic beers and apart from not liking them, they all taste the same and that includes Heineken. Haven't had one for ages and have no interest drinking any more of them.

Those zero drinks tend to go flat really quickly so I'd say a pint would be awful sharpish (its Heineken after all says you!).

I only drink Heineken Zero at Yoga or the office as instructed by the advertisements.

Yea I get that, They have to pay insurance heat wadges imro ect ect, I know how a business runs, But imagine they buy at €1, a 400% increase on price is a bit much.

Guinness have a very decent NA lager out called Pure Brew.

Why do non alcoholic beer drinkers have to pay more for the venue so?

Why? They are private businesses. They can and should be allowed to sell what they want.

If having non alcoholic beer on tap made a profit, they would have it.

They dont have to. They choose to by going there.

Can't stand any of the non alcoholic beers. Just a horrible taste off them all. So if i'm not drinking it's sparkling water all the way as the amount of sugar in soft drinks puts me off.

I'd love to help, OP, but I drink double IPAs and imperial stout exclusively. Peasant :rolleyes:

Heineken zero, all the acid reflux, none of the fun.

I'd rather have the sugar than the aspartame tbh.


OP, would you not be better off with a bottle of Budvar N/A, I'm sure they're 500ml - although possibly not in Irish pubs. I'm not a normal Heineken fan so that Zero stuff wouldn't really be an option. Even Becks would be nicer.

It’s actually very easy to drink, doesn’t taste like the usual non-alc stuff.

They charge what the market will stand.
Which is unfortunate for those of us who like a drink or two.

And they are taste as horrible as each other and that's without starting on aspartame. When i'm not drinking beer i'll stick to plain ould water.

Lidl do a non alcoholic IPA for €1. Not too bad

Coincidentally I was dining out in a rural pub in Tipperary last night and as designated driver I had a 500ml bottle of Erdinger Non-Alcohol which is quite tasty. They charged €4.80. Ordinary lager was €4.75. I thought that was fair enough.
