non alcomoholic beer

Elbaston · 21-08-2013 11:13PM #1

Anyone here know if alcohol free beer is available to buy in tesco/late night shops after 11pm ?

Its not alcohol right ?..... so really its just a soft drink, so licencing laws shouldn't apply.

Id love one now, but I get the feeling the bastards will deny my attempt.

I've never understood alcohol free beer. Why would you bother drinking something if you don't want the effect of it?

I think you've had enough of the real stuff already.

beer no alcohol, no alcohol beer, beer no alcohol......failing to compute

The Davestator · 21-08-2013 11:31PM

It's a good question though. Can you buy it after licensing hours. Keep me posted

Ihatecuddles-old · 21-08-2013 11:33PM

Does it not have like 0.5% alcohol or something stupid like that?

Just drink some listerine!

I'd rather eat a McDonalds than drink non-alcoholic beer.

Yep...its normal beer that is boiled up to a high temp to boil off the alcohol content.

There is a small trace amount left though.and anything up to 0.5% is considered to be non alcoholic beer.

Its becomming very popular in Dubai and other muslim countries and also in Japan now.

anncoates · 22-08-2013 12:43AM

I thought they were just used for TV show or movie scenes in bars. I didnt think people had the nerve to drink them in real life.

Bought some Dubai non alcoholic beers a few months back - takeaway from a Halal restaurant; didn't read the labels. Really should have put some thought into where they were from (clue: alcohol prohibiting society). Utterly gutted when I arrived home after 10pm to discover the truth.
They're still sitting there. I've offered them to loads of people. Time to meet Mr plughole methinks.

Sadly op,
I dont think you are in luck. Any 24 hour tesco i've ever been in completely closes off their alcohol isle after 10pm. Which the non-alcoholic items do be in.
Sure you could talk to a member of staff but they'll think you are some how trying to pull a fast one as they are used to dealing with drunken people wandering in to try and score to more alcohol.

Nice to be able to have the feeling of having a few beers without the hangover in the morning

I did go a couple hours later, upon inspection the entire alcomohol isle* was found to be heavily guarded by a double plasticy post thing with fully integrated rope belt thing.

The risks were just too great.

*(including my non alcohol beer if I may say - great injustice)

Erdinger do a decent non-alcoholic beer. It's locked up with all the other booze after 22:00 though.

Thats the one. Erdinger Alco-frei.

Try it with a coke straight after for a unique and frothy experience.

No really.

Just drink some listerine!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listerine

Ethanol, which is toxic to bacteria at concentrations of 40%, is present in concentrations of 21.6% in the flavored product and 26.9% in the original gold Listerine AntisepticI][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed"]citation needed[/URL][/I. At this concentration, the ethanol serves to dissolve the active ingredients

Listerine gets you s**tfaced.

My ex went to rehab with a recovering alcoholic, the guy drank a bottle of listerine and was falling around the place. They all thought he was putting it on, seems he wasn't!

I wouldn't gain any satisfaction from that at all. I'd be as well please staying at home or drinking a soft drink rather than drinking alcohol free beer.

The feeling of drinking proper beer >>> pain of the hangover.

JP85 · 22-08-2013 09:04AM

The only reason why i would drink non alcholic beer is when i have to drive on a night out, its much better than drinking coke for the whole night, plus the erdinger stuff isnt half bad

Hoop66 · 22-08-2013 09:10AM

I quite enjoy the Erdinger alcoholfrei, or the Becks one every now and again. I always get a hangover from it though...
