Heineken zero is very palatable. Kept me off the sauce for 2 years.
Erdinger do a nice one too

A relative works for a large brewer, gave me some samples to try, tasted a couple and the rest went down the sink.

Re: Low/Non Alcoholic Beers
I've tried loads, the best was in a 500ml bottle from sainsbury, their own brand, it was just called Czech low alcohol pilsner. Can't find it around here now. Genuinely tasted like real beer. Of them all, I keep going back to becks blue.

If I wanted alcohol free I'd drink dandelion and burdock. It tastes nicer than beer!

Adnams Ghost Ship alcohol free.
I used to drink that when it was my turn to be "des" and drive the pool team to an away game (back in the days when there was such a thing as a pub pool league!). Really not bad at all

Re: Low/Non Alcoholic Beers
Best ones I've tried if you like lager is the Erdinger 0.5% and if you go the other way BrewDog Nanny State is ok at 0.5%. Most of the 0% ones I've not liked at all for various reasons but there are many I've not tried but as a disclaimer I do usually drink and someone else drives

Peroni 0% is nice on the bank for a change from tea/juice.

Re: Low/Non Alcoholic Beers
Had a few 'lucky saint' low alcohol beers over the festive there, was really tasty, genuinely like a real beer, albeit a fairly light/ weak one.

Re: Low/Non Alcoholic Beers
Got a couple of cans of Guinness 00 free over the hols. Tastes like watered down proper Guinness. Mixed 50/50 with the proper stuff it tasted ok.
I'll buy it again and at least ill be taking 50% less alcohol!

I tried a can of the wife's Bud zero it was actually quite good.
The Corona is ok too. Very hard to tell the difference from the normal one.

SanMiguel 0% can be hard to find, I stick a slice of lemon or lime through the neck, very nice. Rog
Just realised I've said this before, therefore it must be true.

Re: Low/Non Alcoholic Beers
I got a mixed pack of the Brewdog low alcohol ales.
Punk IPA was ok
Nanny state was ok
Hazy Jane was ok
Elvis juice (normally my favourite) was crap .
Sober October is nearly over anyway.

It shouldn't even be permitted to call it beer if it doesn't have a decent % of alcohol, say 5.5% and above, anything lower should be classed as vegan
