So what hours are you not allowed to advertise between?

6am-10am; on the basis that its "family breakfast time"

Occasionally I have an alcohol free weissbier with a wedge of lemon to try and overpower the sweetness.

The last couple of weeks I've had a couple. Erdinger, and whatever the Lidl version - isotonic, post exercise, first beer! In that context I didn't mind the sweetness (erdinger was nicer though of the two). I assume there's aldi AF weiss? Will have a look this evening anyway.

Tesco were selling off erdinger AF Lemon last night (picked up the last 3 in Greystones), so I guess I'll find out!

Had the Gerstel at the weekend. Not bad at all 55cent a can aswell

It was nice - very radler like. Having said that, I spotted two 500ml for €3 of standard erdinger AF in Dunnes so went for that this week.

I find Erdinger AF too sweet... have to try their Gerstel though.. can you get this anywhere else? I am rarely ever in DS

Just in Dunnes, I had not tried it until this week as I am never in Dunnes myself as its a bit of a spin for me.

Tried Gerstel today - its not for me - a bit rough - but good for 68p or what ever it was. I'd still rather pay more for Moretti/Carlsberg.. they win for me

The aldi roadworks ipa 0.5% is surprisingly nice at €1.29 a bottle.

Most brewdog beers are class, but both AF (2 main ones) I think have a really chemically aftertaste that leaves a weird mouth feel.

The initial sip is always good tasting beer but the weirdness by the end of the first can it's too much.

Big drop brewing Galactic milk stout is a decent enough stout (initially might come across as too bitter, but stick with it).

Unfortunately, I can't remember where I bought them :pac: so none left.

My favourite of all !!!!! If you are a craft drinker then a cold one of these from the fridge almost has the body of 6/7%

Got some delivered from Holland & Barrett in the summer but out of stock for a while now. Haven't seen it anywhere else yet unfortunately. If anyone spots it would be great to know!

Hmm I never bought beer in H&B before, but now I'm wondering if I got a load of it in Sainsbury's Newry one time...
Maybe a UK only (hence H&B, UK company)?

Got my hopes up last week when my local Tesco had an out of stock notice in the 'Zero zone' for the empty Guinness 0 0 shelf space, stating re-stock expected 3 December.

Do we have any further info on the supposed reappearance of Guinness 0.0 on 3 Dec?

Paul seems nice.

Paul needs a few pints of the normal Guinness by the looks of it

To Øl's Implosion and Lervig's No Worries are both superb. Brooklyn Special Effects is excellent too.

Agreed on Brooklyn Special Effects. There is no difference for me in drinking that compared to a regular alcoholic IPA. They got the taste and "heaviness" spot on.

I'm really enjoying Heino 0.0 at the moment.

Genuinely a great effort from them, even in the small cans. On tap in my local it really is not far off in terms of taste and flavor of the real thing.

Had a few pints of this a while back and to be fair, I probably wouldn't have known the difference between it and a pint of Heineken. Not really a ringing endorsement of it on flavour grounds, but for replicating the real thing it gets my seal of approval

Definitely makes you feel more like you are having a "real" drink when it's available on draught too.
