Non Alcoholic Beers

BrewDog's Punk IPA AF and Nanny State are two of the best and are widely available in Tesco SuperValu etc. Guinness Zero is surprisingly good, unlike the now retired Guinness PureBrew.

If you are in a speciality off licence you will get To Øl's Implosion, Lervig's No Worries and Mikkillers seasonal non alcoholic beers, all of which are excellent.

I think Heineken Zero, Carlsberg Zero, Pernoni Zero etc are all very poor, rather like their alcoholic siblings.

Guinness Zero is pretty good, as someone who doesn't really rate normal Guinness! It seems to be hard to get at the moment though. Punk AF and Nanny State, as mentioned - I personally prefer the latter. Often on deal in Dunnes, and I think they carry the Levig no worries too.

I like Wicklow Wolf's Moonlight. Best bang for your taste buck is Roadworks "Early Start" in Aldi though - it's the best of the roadworks beers for me (alcoholic included).

The flavoured erdinger n/a can be quite refreshing too, kinda like a radler. I had them regularly in the summer, but I'd be less inclined this weather.

Guinness and Heineken have already been mentioned but my favourite in Birra Moretti, absolutely lovely

The Guinness Zero is also probably the easiest to get, at a decent price, of the N/A options - my local centra has it. I've been doing it with the surger since I got it too, just for the extra creamy head.

standard erdinger would be my pick and added bonus is that it is good for you.

"a study* shows that ERDINGER Alkoholfrei promotes the health of athletes. As a recovery drink after sports, it normalises inflammation levels in the body – which shoot up during physical exertion – and also supports the immune system. An isotonic, non-alcoholic wheat beer is therefore perfect during the open window, when the body is particularly susceptible to infections."*can't find the study now, but it was possibly paid for by Erdinger 😁

German winter olympic team took 3,500 litres of the stuff to the last olympics - think it was Krombacher. As far as i know, any n/a weizen (wheat) beer would be similar

Below cost selling is legal. Supermarkets would need to get a benefit from selling something below cost to do so. People are unlikely to change supermarket to get a cheap slab of NA Guinness, basically - whereas plenty of the cheap beer slabs were sold with entire Christmas shops etc.

Tried it at the weekend and wasn't all that impressed, although I wouldn't be a Moretti drinker anyway. just found it a bit watery, no bite to it.

Guinness zero is very good, must try it with the surger!

Will keep an eye out for brew dogs, hopefully they have more flavour than moretti

Demand as I understand it. Although I thought that was somewhat sorted now?

Can you get Guinness zero on tap now in pubs?

there'd be no danger of it losing anything in the flavour department anyway.

Amazing "banter"
