Enjoyed your KZbin. You’ve put a lot of thought and taste into it! I also appreciated your information on methods of making N.A. beer. I don’t know if you’ve tried Pauli Girl N.A., which I like a lot but can no longer find for some reason. I left a comment below on my own recent quest for good N.A. Beer. Cheers!

I drank beer every day for almost 23 years…from Miller High Life to the craftiest IPA’s, which I drank exclusively for the last few years. When I decided to quit drinking, a client gave me a Run Wild IPA by Athletic Brewing Co and it really does it for me. But still, I miss the variety, so this video was awesome! Can’t wait to try all your favorites!

Being an IPA lover and with my current medications forcing behavioral changes I have been on a quest for a great IPA alternative. My top 3 to date are Sam Adams Just The Haze, Lagunitas IPNA, and Crux NO MO. Thank you for the great review. I was not a fan of Athletics Run Free IPA, but yours as well as thoughts of others in the comments have convinced me to give their Free Wave a go. With the current trend by major brewers of developing NA products, I can foresee some great NA beers in our future. Cheers

Had to switch to sober living and the one time i got to swing through a hallall grocery store and popped open a laziza while driving. It's awesome! You feel guilty while being guilt free. Get to enjoy having no empairment to your performance while still having the psychological comforts. I go 0% only so i don't have to worry about it interfering with medication or needing to drive. Highly recommend laziza. Hard to get without a substantial local Muslim population with their grocery store though.

Thank you for the excellent overview. You've introduced a couple that I haven't seen yet and look forward to trying. I've been trying a lot of these over the last year. If you can find it, then I recommend adding the Deschutes Brewing Black Butte Porter. I also enjoy a Paulaner Weizen-Radler which has lemon juice added and is delightful on a warm day. The non-alcoholic category has really boomed in the states and it's so nice to be able to go places with friends and enjoy an adult beverage without partaking in alcohol.

I've chosen sobriety and prefer feeling sober as well as would be nice to have a placebo to wind down at the end of working my night shift without worrying about violating any 0 tolerance alcohol policy. Could you do more European or hallal inspired beverages? I'm not Muslim but love laziza, just not easy to get living in the sticks. Or Could you do some ales? I used to love a good apple ale when i drank and would be great to have that as an option for my current lifestyle. Love the videos!

After my first sip of that one, I had to double check the can to make sure there wasn't alcohol in it! It's that darn good. It's great to have real beer flavors without the alcohol, they've come a long way since bland O'doul's.

I was looking for something with more flavor and bubbles and Stella Artois was the only other one they had that was Zero and not 0.5%. Stella's taste like the real thing. Flavor and bubbles. Thats another one thats hard to tell that its not alcoholic. Definitely better than budweiser 0.0. But its a malt liquor so i'm thinking most of the malt beers would have more flavor

As an army brat who spent my formative high school beer drinking days in Germany, I never developed a taste for American mass market beer (Bud, Miller, Blue Ribbon, etc.). They all tasted horribly thin - no body or flavor. I’d become spoiled. The American Craft Brew renaissance is to my mind one of the greatest things to happen in the area of food and bev appreciation in this country in the last 25 years. Three years ago I decided to cut back on my alcohol consumption for health and age reasons and I started looking around for good N.A. beer. I’ve tried many different offerings. Most were crap, but I found 3 that I think have no real fall off in taste and satisfaction compared to good quality regular beer. These are Clausthaler (original), Pauli Girl and Becks. Virtually everything else, to my taste, fell far behind and I include Heineken 0.0 in that, which is just too thin and tasteless for me (note that I like regular Heineken ok). So I was very pleased to recently discover a couple of good American N.A. offerings have hit the market: Best Day Brewing makes two IPA styles that are outstanding - West Cost IPA and Hazy IPA. I’ve also tried several offerings from RationAle which were quite good. Drink up!

Note: None of theses are .5 beers. They have to be less than .5 abv in order to be sold as NA's. Most are 0.4 and the 0.0's are usually 0.03. They all still require you to be carded in Pennsylvania because there is still some alcohol in them. Doesn't matter how little, as long as it is there.

Never had Buckler. It's not sold in Holland anymore since the early 90's. After jokes on national television in a New Years Eve cabaret performance the sales plummeted and Heineken removed the brand a couple of years later from stores alltogether. I also never heard of the Clausthaler brand from Germany. Looks like all early brands for non-alcoholic beer were just a bit too far ahead of the curve. They must have been able to improve the taste a lot since then. These days there are so many good non-alcoholic beers on the market. A couple of great IPA-style beers are availible as well, from Holland, UK, Belgium and probably US. Will buy the Langunitas IPA if I see it around :)

I just tried the Heineken 0.0 and I thought it was just OK. Still has that Heineken funk. Probably would have liked it better if it were more carbonated. It just seemed kinda flat to me. It was a fresh bottle with a best by date of July 2024.

To me the test is whether it is enjoyable through the whole bottle. Lots of these become tough to enjoy after a few swigs as they end up just tasting bland and feeling heavy for some reason. Go Athletic.

Really great review! Thank you! I drink Athletic Free Wave at the moment but the NA options around here have been really limited. Now that the supermarket suddenly has a wider variety--I was very much in need of a review. (Non alcoholic beers can be seriously disapointing and I didn't want to spend a lot of money experimenting. Thanks, again! I don't fall into the non-drinking category but my alcohol sensitivity has increased in recent years and I'm hoping that my favourite pubs will start to carry non-alcoholic beer--so I can try a promising looking strong beer, then switch to non-alcoholic for the rest of the evening. Or have two medium to low alcohol beers, then switch. PS--I was not raised in the US so, to me, soda is a children's drink--I dislike the sugar!
