A Pint of Non-Alcoholic Guinness 00 | As Good as the Real Thing?

It’s probably the best 0% you can get, it tastes good and looks right. Most 0% beers taste like lightly flavoured water but this is good, even the texture. Works well in cooking too, put some in beef stew and was great

If you were on a night out and had a Guinness zero in between your normal pints You would still have a good time and no would know and you would be feeling much better the next day.

[@raysdk]

Will always be able to tell the difference but it's a great option and probably the best 0.0 option on the market. I also believe it will only get better form here. Not only a game changer by Guinness, but a possible life saver. Also lets those off the drink to fit in. I would much rather have all my mates around for an evening than those worrying about driving home etc. Great content fan from Canada here.

After my first year of sobriety, this is a heavenly sight.

[@Mrose19911]

hi mate, what was the reason for sobriety? if you don’t mind me asking

[@ClvrBstrd]

@@Mrose19911 October 26th of last year, I fell into a depression that led into me drinking an entire bottle of red wine. After finishing the bottle, my response was to drive to the store and purchase two more. I drank half of the second bottle before inevitability passing out. Eventually, I woke up to red vomit that was a mixture of wine and blood. It was laying on the bathroom floor in the fetal position, head pounding from my hangover that I realized just how close I got to dying from a developing addiction. In that moment, the only thing that I could think about was how I haven't been to my nephew's birthdays in a while and if I had continued, I wouldn't have been to them again. Also, my mom would have had to have buried her first son the same way she buried her first husband. I couldn't even bring myself to cry, all I felt was shame. But in that moment, I used it as a humbling experience to finally make meaningful changes to my life and make my late father proud by not succumbing to addiction. As much as I miss the quality of drinks like Guinness from time to time, I do not miss the way the alcohol made me feel. And as hard as this year has been, I now no longer feel that urge and am much happier with myself.

My auld fella, a Belfast man, shouldn't drink alcohol now due to medication, and he and I love the Guinness, so we had to try it here in the UK when they brought it out last year in the can. You can certainly tell which is which, as you say, it does taste a bit watery. But overall I thought it was pretty good and I'd happily drink it if I was driving or the 'real' one wasn't available. I did hear that the can is coming back to the UK in september, but I'd love to the special can and pouring machine in the pubs here. :-)

​@@NapoleonDynamites Most places do it every 3 weeks now. Some pub chains actually are pushing for 6 weeks now cos they have the new lines which use the magnets on them.

[@dummatube]

I don't like the 'watery' and warm Draught Guinness in cans. I much prefer well chilled bottles of 'Extra Stout' rated at 6%. At home just one 375ml bottle a day REALLY helps my sense of 'well-being' and is better than drinking multiple cans of "OO". If I was drinking in a pub though I'd go "00" all night and be able to safely drive home. I have had multiple zero alcohol beer tastings from all nations and always keep Carlton Zero and Coopers Ultra Light in my fridge here in Australia but there is NOTHING like a Guinness! They are to be commended for developing such a spectacular product and rolling it out so efficiently! Cheers, David Myers, Digital Masters Australasia.

I doubt I’ll be going going back to non alcoholic lager and speaking of which, I’ve tried them all and the Lidl brand is the best for lager taste, with Aldi second. Heineken is the worst out of all the big brands. Put this Guinness in the fridge for a few hours and let it fall into a tall glass in one go and sit back and enjoy. Seriously it’s made me appreciate the simple things in life again it’s that good. In fact I could live on it!
