I can’t wait to taste the 0.0 Stella Artois! That was my favorite beer when I used to drink alcohol and I miss it so much. I hope the NA version starts getting sold in Mexico soon!

Have never seen Asahi in the store, so need to keep an eye out for that one. I'd agree I tend to like the Stella more than the Heineken. But Heineken is super easy to get and is a pretty good copy of the full fueled version. Love some Mash Gang, but ya hard to get for sure.

I hear Minnesota and you got my sub gotta support a fellow Minnesotan. 🍻 Was looking at your vid to see if Bero is the best but I think I’ll have to try Bero and Go Brewing. Dad’s a beer lover. And trying to get him to ween off the alcohol because of his health but I’m also interested in the NA stuff because I’m not a fan of alcohol.

According to their website faq, they use maltose-negative yeast which doesn’t create alcohol as a byproduct of fermentation. So there’s no alcohol to remove.

My all time favorite isn't made anymore. Barrel Brothers NA State Sponsored Juicing. It was an amazing NEIPA that actually had a little burn on the back end. I had to double check to make sure it was an NA lol. As for what's regularly available currently, I'd probably go with Strange Hoppenings from Beaglepuss.

Fascinating. We have good friends who actually used make craft beer and had a craft beer, gin, and whisky distilling business. They’ve changed directions recently due to some stuff going on with their family, but we still have some of their craft beers and lots of their gin. Their stuff is not NA though. We’ve scaled right back on the drinking side as I had some health issues over the last two years, so I’m loving discovering your channel and NA stuff.

Congratulations on your journey. I stumbled upon your channel when I saw your video reviewing Tom Holland‘s beers. And then hearing that you are a university of Minnesota graduate, I mentioned to my hubby that you were reviewing non-alcoholic beers, and told him that you guys should connect because he has just published a memoir called “Shadows of the Bottle” And he is also a Minnesota boy. I wish you really well on this journey, and I wish you every success on your channel.

I'm enjoying your channel. I like to mix NA drinks in while enjoying other beers. My biggest issue with most NA beers is they are cloyingly sweet or simply taste like unfermented wort. So far my favorites have been from Untitled art. Pretty much everything they do tatses like beer which can't be said for many of the other brands. Look forward to seeing more from you.

I’ve tried GO and they were ok. I found them actually lacking the flavor and hop bite i like in my IPAs. They weren’t the worst, but I’ve had several that were better. I only say this because i subscribed and was really hoping to like them, but I’ve cancelled my subscription. I hope they continue to improve their recipes and there are several i have not tried, so I’m not counting them out forever. (I’ve had the freedom amber, which was probably my favorite and it wasn’t even an IPA. After that i had burn it down, the story and prophets hazy ipa.). They were ok, i just don’t see myself buying them again? I was looking forward to the second shipment because they were sending s “gift”… 😢
