Nonalcoholic Beer (not lager) advice

[Train Man]

On antibiotics and got friends coming round tonight
Anyone recommend alcohol free beers available local to Teesside?

Do not under any circumstances get the Non-alcoholic version of Old Speckled Hen (it's in white and blue tins).
Tried it once, and I can only describe it as akin to sucking on a mouthful of 2p pieces.

RANK.

I've found heineken blues the best despite not being a fan of heineken.
I love moretti but the 0% morettis are terrible.

Maybe try a non-alcoholic version of something you don't normally drink would be my advice!

I re-read the thread title and realised you wanted beer not lager advice. Doh!

Nailed it, absolutely terrible stuff, like cold tea with a slightly sweet toffee taste.

Brew Dog Nanny State is not bad, more Brown Ale than IPA.

 

[Millbrook]

Peroni is good but you may regard that as lager

 

[Gibson67]

The 0.0% Guinness is very good

Non alcoholic beer when there's a plethora of decent soft drinks available?

I don't get it.

 

[Dybuk]

Guiness? didn;t realise they did one. I find alcohol free tastse awful and gives you a headache within the hour normally.

Becks blue was indistinguishable from the alcoholic stuff.. Guinness is good and I’ve heard good things about non alcoholic Gordon’s gin.. lots of friends seem to be moving onto that over other stuff.

I’d go for the Guinness

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

The non-alcoholic Budweiser they do at the Riverside is decent enough, that's probably my favourite out of the few I've tried.

Avoid Becks Blue (to be honest I can't stand normal Becks).

It is superb and is only about £1 can in Tesco etc. It is my main one of choice now.

 

[Boro_Interlinked]

Guinness is a definite. Adnams Ghost Shop , citrus hops IPA is a winner, Doombar is touch and go for me but I will have one if nothing else around, whilst I don't like Speckled Hen or St Peters without.

Best by a mile in my opinion, think they’d make a killing if offered on draught

Another one for Guinness

Erdinger is also nice

 

[Linthorpe_Exile]

Don't like NA beer, lager not too bad. My go to drink when abstaining - Gin & Tonic over ice with big chunk of lemon or lime but leaving out the gin sorted

 

[Muttley]

Just a technical point, if you note that the beer is listed as 0.5% alcohol it is probably alcohol-free but has not been tested so they must legally describe it as 0.5%. This is only a problem if you are abstaining on religious grounds I guess, as I doubt you could drink enough of even 0.5% alcohol to fail a breath test!

How about Punk AF Brewdog

This same question was asked last month so plenty of answers in there:

Best Alcohol Free "Beers"?

After my demise into chugging on vodka literally from the bottle at all hours, I am now on a journey of recovery. I did try the "only soft drinks route", but I just don't like soft drinks that much. I still want a "beer" but without the alcohol. This goes against AA (I am not a member anymore)...

Personally Guinness is by far the best I've had. Next would be Erdinger.
