I am late to this, but alcohol free beer is pretty good.

@Migueldeicaza Heineken Zero and Stella Artois Liberte are both good, and taste exactly how I think they should. But for smaller brands, I've dug just about every variety I've tried from Athletic Brewing. And their Run Wild IPA is the only IPA-style NA brew I’ve found that I truly enjoy. Highly recommended:

@Migueldeicaza Can I ask what brand? I’ve tried a few (of the ones available in Canada), and they’ve been disappointing. I’ve always preferred hoppier beers, and that doesn’t seem to translate well when almost all of the grain is removed.

@gruber @Migueldeicaza I wholeheartedly concur with this assessment. Run Wild is a permanent fixture in our fridge.

@gruber will add these to my list, thanks!

I am drinking one of those brands now, but a different flavor:

@mcaloney I am not a beer expert, so I am probably too easy to please, but it is “Athletic brewing company”, and the flavor I am drinking now is “upside dawn”

@gruber This sounds like exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks!

@Migueldeicaza the alcohol free Guinness is also very good, if you like that sort of thing. They are lying about the alcohol content though. The 0.05% is only in the EU. It’s 0.5% elsewhere. No idea why.

@Migueldeicaza @gruber PRO TIP YOU HAVE TO HAVE ABOUT FIFTY OF THEM TO CATCH A BUZZ

@Migueldeicaza Peroni Zero is my go to. I really like it.

@Migueldeicaza @gruber Man I got sick as a dog off one of those a while back. Some kind of food poisoning. Zero stars.

@Migueldeicaza @gruber Best Day Brewing and Sierra Nevada also have some nice NA beers.

@chockenberry @gruber perfect :-)

@Migueldeicaza I've been liking Lagunitas IPNA

@gruber @Migueldeicaza Make sure to checkout Bitburger and Asahi NA options also. Outstanding.

@Migueldeicaza Yes, the Athletic Golden is a fave too. Smooth.

@airspeedswift @Migueldeicaza athletic brewing do a good IPA also

@chockenberry @gruber @Migueldeicaza I just saw the Ripe Pursuit - Lemon Radler in the store the other day but haven’t had a chance to try it yet. Everything else from them has been great.

@gruber @Migueldeicaza If you ever find yourselves in Australia, Heaps Normal is the one to drink:

@jordan @Migueldeicaza Oh man, that looks good. (I do judge books by covers and beers by labels.)

@buck @Migueldeicaza Yeah, Asahi is good — hard for me to find locally though. I was buying on Amazon but was stupid expensive. (Should check again…)

@gruber @Migueldeicaza Did they design that can after May 6, 1998 too? 🩵

@gruber @Migueldeicaza I grabbed one of these without realizing they were NA. Was really enjoying it and took a closer look before realizing it.

@gruber @Migueldeicaza True 🍻

There's a good New Yorker article about the founder.

@gruber @jordan @Migueldeicaza (Come visit already.)

@Migueldeicaza alcohol? free beer? That does sound good!

@Migueldeicaza Be ware of alcohol-free weissbeer. While alcohol-free lagers and IPAs are quite good, the weisse taste terrible.

@Migueldeicaza in a fan of the occasional fruit radler when the weather is hot. I don't know how easy it is to come by radlers where you are, they're easy to find here in Switzerland and of course Germany.

@_rob @chockenberry @gruber @Migueldeicaza it’s a great beer for a hot, sweaty day

@passim @Migueldeicaza Yes, from 2021:

@Migueldeicaza love most of what Athletic Brewing has to offer. Had a Run Wild IPA earlier today. And their Cerveza Athletica with some Zing Zang Bloody Mary mix makes for a great NA Michelada

@sdether oh great to know!

@Migueldeicaza once I found a brand I liked I completely agree with this.
