    Erdinger Alcoholfrei is quite enjoyable and is also a sports nutritional supplement.

    The alcohol-free Erdinger is great. Brewdog's Nanny State is alright, tastes a bit like light ale. Bitburger Drive is very quaffable, and Heineken 0.0% is good too.

    There's an outfit called Small Beer who do decent 1%-2% lagers.

    This Grauniad review was really impressed by the Brew Dog offering, and liked the M&S one

    Been meaning to try Big Drop beers, they do a Porter I think.

    I like the fact they are getting better and more widespread, more interesting than pint after pint of coke or lemonade etc if you're out and driving.

    Erdinger is my favourite on there.

    The difference in the quality and taste of the new stuff compared to Kaliber in the '80's is like night and day.

    I really want to try the stout but haven't seen it anywhere and don't really want to order 12 or whatever online.

    Its more expensive than some bottles of actual gin. The world has gone mad, just drink some tonic water instead.

    There was an ad for some ginger based non-alcoholic nonsense on Radio X earlier, the missus said "If I wanted something non-alcoholic that still made me fat, I'd have a bag of crisps".  :D
  • Lucky Saint is good, Ghost Ship is decent too.

    Find most of the lager ones (Heineken, Becks) taste like slightly watery lager, so basically similar to the alcoholic versions!

    Lucky Saint on draught is halfway decent. Helps that it's still fermented, and not filtered, they just heat it gently in a vacuum chamber afterwards to remove the alcohol from it
  • Got about 40+ in my fridge (different brands) been collecting / drinking them for a long time. I gave a friend a box of 18 different ones for his birthday. He loved it and reviewed each one as he went along!

    My issue is, I went into a real ale pub last week (Shakespeare's @ West Bar/ Kelham Island, Sheffield) and paid £4.00 for a can of Halo, when my dad paid £3.90 for his real ale (actually I paid for both). That's not on (the price, not buying my dad a beer). I bet the profits pubs are making is higher than on alcohol beers!!

    Especially, as a large amount of the price of the pint of beer is tax.

    Second all of this, Ghost Ship is probably the best I've tried and LS does the job as a decent lager sub - esp. when you can get it on draft.

    Yeah getting it on draft makes a psychological difference. Probably shouldn’t, but it does!

    Peroni zero and Moretti zero are both nice. Leffe do a Blond zero, had it in Lidl the other week.
    Personally I prefer a zero cider, Old Mout and Kopperberg ones are really nice.
